Let's think of Marketing like learning to play an instrument - mastering the piano is great, but beginners can attract an audience too. Each week Marketing 101 will break down the barriers of a particular marketing activity and give you simple, practical advice and ideas to put into action today. Small business owners and the self employed can’t always be marketers too, you’ve got your customers and your product to focus on. But, if you have a website or social media presence for your business then you DO need to adhere to best-practice for the platforms that you use and you should make use of the tools they provide. The Marketing 101 podcast will tackle and remove 'the overwhelm' of one topic per week (topics like Search Engine Optimisation, Content Marketing and Social Media Marketing) and give you clear, actionable steps to take within your own business without having to hire in a consultant or a web developer.Support the podcast via Patreon with a small donation of £5 per month; https://www.patreon.com/marketing_101

    Words of Wisdom from the Marketing Meet-up, Brighton

    Words of Wisdom from the Marketing Meet-up, Brighton

    Want some words of advice from 10 different professional marketers?! Look no further.... Today I presented at the fantastic Marketing Meet-up event run by Vicky King (Plus Accounting) and Amy Pulling (Cognitive Law) - I was teaching the room all about podcasting, so we thought we'd record and publish one as a live example.

    My challenge to them was to give me a 'vox pop' - some words of wisdom or a favourite quote, to give a little inspiration to the Marketing 101 listeners!

    Enjoy!

    Thanks, Alex
