How to Set Goals and Achieve Them in 2022

One of our favorite activities to do in our business is goal setting. We love planning where we want our business to be in the coming months, quarters, or years. There’s just something so refreshing and exciting about envisioning hitting those milestones!

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.

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.

Everything you need to know about Idea Pins and how to use them

Pinterest never fails to surprise us with its new features, and the most recent release has been Idea Pins. Although they’re a new feature on Pinterest, it’s a similar feature to what we’ve seen on other platforms as well. According to Pinterest, Idea Pins are “an evolution of Story Pins”, a feature they beta tested in 2020.

Since video is the new wave of content with platforms like TikTok serving as the stepping stone to other apps falling in line (take Instagram Reels and Video Pins, for example), we’re starting to see more and more popular platforms release their own takes on these loveable features, Idea Pins being the newest rendition of Stories on Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.


But what about Idea Pins makes it different from its competition, how will it improve your experience on Pinterest, and how do you use them? Keep reading as we answer these questions in this blog post!

Of course, we believe the latter… Maybe even a little of both? While it’s a must to make sure your SEO is optimized to help your website traffic and search engine rankings, it’s equally or more important that the content is actually providing value and that your audience will take something away from it.

So, why should you create long-form content in 2021? And what does that word “long-form” really mean?
