How hard is digital vs. traditional marketing? And How hard is digital vs. traditional marketing? And why am I looking at a woman eating donuts?!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Think about this: You want your visitors to know what your place (your online business) is all about. The same way a new bakery would display cakes, muffins, and donuts in their storefront window, right?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The good thing about that bakery window? That you can only see its muffins by walking by. And if you like what you see (or smell!), you’ll probably go inside, even if you’ve set this impossible goal of not eating any sweets again until next Christmas! You just gotta have it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The bad thing about the muffins displayed at the bakery shop? That you actually need to walk by that specific storefront to see and smell freshly-baked products and bite the bait – and the muffins 😋​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Now, how many people will be able to see your storefront online? Theoretically, everyone with Internet access can, right? And what is that… Thousands? Millions of potential visitors? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Unfortunately, they won't be able to smell any cake or talk to you in person, but you can offer as much specific info as you want them to get.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​And that, my friend, is what digital marketing is all about: Taking people to your shop, displaying your products on the storefront, making it easier for them to find what they’re looking for, and starting a conversation to win them as loyal customers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​So if you ever struggle with digital marketing, or if you think it's kinda sleazy, just think of muffins - and how to get your potential customers to smell them, and go into your store ;)
I'm sure you've heard the word "batch" before - al I'm sure you've heard the word "batch" before - although maybe not related to freelancing or blogging. If you're something like me, and you like cooking but don't want to spend every day in the kitchen, batch-cooking is either something that you already practice or that you'd like to try. And if you haven't heard at all about it before, it's just all about taking a day to cook the hell out of you, prep the meals for the freezer, and forget about cooking during the whole week - or month! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Anyway, as we don't want to talk about cooking here, let's see what all the fuzz on batching & productivity is all about! As with the huge meal prep in a sitting, when you work in batches, you're just dedicating a specific amount of time to either one single task or similar tasks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​So, instead of checking your emails here, researching on the Internet there, and trying to get a project done at the same time, batching means focusing on one thing at a time. What for? Well, studies have shown that our productivity decreases by 40% when we switch from one task to the other.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A perfect example would be content creation. Have you ever tried to write an article, a book chapter, or just an email when you're constantly being interrupted? Something that could take you about 30 minutes can become a whole-day task if you don't get to focus on your train of thought!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The batching type that you choose is up to you! It depends both on how you like to work, and how huge the tasks you want to accomplish are. The most common types are time blocks, theme days, theme weeks, or even theme months! Just pick the one that better suits you and your lifestyle ;)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Wanna get more details about content batching?? You'll find the link to the blog @borntofreelance
Why is it that we all feel tempted to set these BI Why is it that we all feel tempted to set these BIG great goals for New Year? They are sooo big and so great that, deep down, we know that we will never reach them! So let me suggest 3 steps to stick to your goals:📌 Step #1. Set realistic goals. Coming up with huge undoable tasks isn't going to take you much further than next week. And the same happens with setting up too many goals. Just give yourself the chance to reach a smaller goal and, if you still find the time, overachieve. Is that a deal?📌 Step #2. Divide your goals into small steps.Planning for the whole year can feel very gratifying, as it lets you feel in control of your time! The thing is that we never know how the months ahead will look like - heck, think of 2020! Who would have told us that it was going to end up like it did, right?  So take your goals and make a list with as many steps as you need to reach those goals. The trick here is really dissecting the steps so that they become mini-tasks. In this way, you'll find it easier to find time in your busy days to tick tasks off your list.📌 Step #3. Give yourself a timeline. Once you are aware of everything you need to achieve your goal, it's time to get your planner! Next, find a time slot for every single mini-task that you have on your list. And make sure you treat those time slots as you would treat any other appointment. This is an appointment with yourself, baby, so don't let yourself down! 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀🎯 If your goal for 2022 is to start freelancing, let the Work for You Planner @workforyoushop help you plan the small steps you need to start your freelance journey 💫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#planningtime #planningforsuccess #planningforthefuture #workingfromanywhereintheworld #borntofreelance @workforyoushop #workforyou #workforyourself #workforyourdreams #workforyourgoals #workforwhatyouwant #planthesteps #planningfreak #planyourday #plannersgonnaplan #plannerd #lessworkmorelife #longtermgoals #happynewyear
