4 Marketing Strategies That Work for 1:1 Service Providers

We’ll be the first to admit, there’s a lot of noise when it comes to marketing strategies for small business owners. The online marketing space has exploded in recent years and with that, inevitably, comes some confusion. With the focus of those strategies being mostly geared for folks who have the desire (and skill) to move to a 1:many model (i.e. offering digital products like courses, memberships and downloads), 1:1 service providers have been left in the dust.

These same service providers are left thinking those same strategies will work for them, or worse, that the only way for them to reach their goals is to change up their entire business model.

Our 5 Favorite Ways to Repurpose Content in 2021 (Number 3 will surprise you!)

We have content come out monthly in many places. It feels like we’re posting everywhere all the time, but it’s what works for us and helps us get our message across to more people in more places. On an average monthly basis, we have 8-10 blog posts, around 15 Instagram feed posts (not including daily Stories), 12+ total emails, 8-10 podcast episodes, and multiple posts to our Facebook groups.

For a small business, this is a LOT of content, which means a lot of time creating it. However, we definitely aren’t creating a lot of it from scratch. The key to saving time with content creation is to repurpose as much as you can. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel with everything you post!

So, in this blog post, we’re going to break down our top 5 favorite ways to repurpose content in 2021. (Spoiler alert: Number 3 will surprise you!)
