Authentic Brand Builders Podcast Michelle Knight

After last week’s episode, I had to expand a bit more on all things website optimization. I’m a big advocate, as you’ll see in today’s post, of having a Home Base for your brand (aka your website). 
Your website is a powerful tool that allows you to control your narrative, support your audience as they move through the consumer buying journey, and drive conversions. It’s a crucial component in sustaining a business in the long run. Every month, I’m getting anywhere from 5,000 to 10,0000 visitors to my website. This tool allows me to create consistency in my marketing funnel, and make sure that those that land on my website are supported.
In this post, we'll dive into some top tips for optimizing your website and increasing conversions to help you make the most out of your online presence.
Inside today’s episode of the Authentic Brand Builders podcast, we’ll dive into:
How to create a clear website roadmap for your ideal customer that helps them move through the consumer buying journey with ease.

As an entrepreneur deeply passionate about branding and marketing, I believe that getting your brand seen is a crucial aspect of running a successful business. 
However, it always seems to be the hardest part for most entrepreneurs. Over the years, and working with hundreds of clients, I've come across four common mistakes that entrepreneurs often make with their marketing strategies, which impact their brand awareness.
Today, on the podcast, I’m sharing the four marketing mistakes you might be making, and how to ensure you’re getting your brand seen consistently online.

As a Brand Strategist, I know that how you approach your marketing and content strategy is everything. Ultimately, you can have the most amazing brand, but if no one sees it then it’s not doing you any good.
Most strategists are teaching social media marketing as the core of marketing, but I want to share a different approach. An approach that has been serving my 6-figure business for years. An approach that motivated me to create Brandmerry Academy which teaches entrepreneurs how to effectively market their business without social media.
So, today I’m breaking down the exact marketing strategy to follow if you don’t have a marketing budget, and don’t have a team to help you create and distribute your content.
Inside today’s episode of the Authentic Brand Builders podcast, we’ll dive into:
Why most entrepreneurs get overwhelmed with marketing (Hint: it’s not you, it’s what you’re being taught).
A strategy that works no matter if you prefer writing, speaking, or creating videos.
The importance of creating an omnichannel approach to your marketing efforts if you’re craving simplicity and sustainability.
 

As an entrepreneur and content creator, I have always believed in the power of repurposing content to reach a wider audience and strengthen my brand presence online. 
Recently, I found myself knee-deep in an Instagram Thread that discussed repurposing and after reading so many responses and opinions, I knew I needed to share my thoughts on this topic.
I’ve been repurposing content for eight years. In the beginning, it was because I was working a 9 to 5, months into my postpartum journey, and building a business from scratch. Then, my goal with repurposing shifted when I took my business “full time” and wanted to expand my reach to other platforms.
I consider myself an expert in this topic so today I’m sharing my thoughts on the art of repurposing and its impact on building an authentic brand online.
Inside today’s episode of the Authentic Brand Builders podcast, we’ll dive into:
The controversy around repurposing and what most entrepreneurs and content creators are getting wrong.
The #1 thing you need to understand around repurposing to be successful and make sure you’re not annoying your audience.

I’ve been marketing online for over seven years, and I’ve discovered that the only constant is storytelling. My guess is you’ve heard about brand storytelling, but what about digital storytelling?
