You have a running list in your phone or in your head of all the content ideas. Things you want to post, things you want to share, customer success stories you want to tell. The ideas are there. You know what you want to say.
But here’s the thing. You’re struggling to actually implement it because life throws things at you and truth be told you’d rather be spending your time serving customers and doing what you love than filming or creating content. You’re not alone, and the instinct is to hire someone.
But when you start looking at what that actually costs? A social media manager can run pretty steep because there’s a lot that goes into managing and executing a social media strategy today. And right now, that’s just not where your budget is or maybe your a business that operates off of small profit margins.
So you’re stuck in this ‘Catch 22.’ You don’t have the time to do it yourself, and you don’t have the budget to hand it off. You need more visibility to grow revenue, but you need more revenue to afford the help that creates that visibility. In this episode, Sydney breaks down how to escape this ‘Catch 22’ and get your local business visible every single day on social media without having to be present posting every day.

Hi friends! My name is Sydney, founder of Marathon Marketing & Branding, and I’m so happy you’re here! As you might have guessed, I am an avid runner, which allows me to have more of that pinot and pasta in life. Running long-distance is all about training, endurance, and consistency. I realized that these same traits are directly applicable to social media marketing as well.
