The status quo of modern marketing isn't designed for you and me.The hard truth is that most marketing strategies are designed for massive corporations, while small businesses, consultants, coaches, and other experts are left feeling that the advice they’re given just doesn’t fit—and they’re right. We have two choices: we can struggle to force our businesses into an ill-fitting mold, or we can reinvent a system that works for us and allows us to thrive.

Exciting updates! 💃🏻
Hello Reader,
I'm super excited to share three updates I'm absolutely delighted about!
✨ Our Luminary Mastermind applications are now open! Natalie and I hosted a Facebook live about this, and will be sharing more in the coming weeks. Applications are rolling, so if you're excited by this concept, do apply ASAP. Get the details here and apply here.
🎧 I was recently interviewed on Rochelle Moulton's new podcast, Soloist Women. This is an absolutely awesome podcast that went immediately to my "must listen" list. My episode is ostensibly about SEO, but we cover a whole lot more. I hope you love it—and check the show notes for a special Soloist Women discount to our shop. Listen here.
📸 I'm teaching my last workshop of the year on November 8, all about leveraging imagery in the search engine. This is actually a "by popular request" offering and the first time I've taught this in a public setting. Yes, there will be a replay. Yes, we'll be adding transcripts and captions and a private podcast feed after the fact. Register here.
I appreciate you hanging in there with this quick info-dump—back to our regularly scheduled programming on Friday!
Talk soon,
Sarah

Hello Reader, In my summer group strategy program, Summer of SEO, this week we had a great conversation about blank screen syndrome. I don't know about you, but this is usually what it looks like for me: Staring at a blank screen, wishing for inspiration to strike... The cursor blinks, blinks, blinks. I write a sentence. Delete it because it's the worst sentence ever composed. Blink. Blink. Blink. Yeah, it's not awesome! Zero stars for sure. This truly happens to us all, and it's even worse...
Hello Reader, You don’t have to get an A+ in marketing. In all the years I’ve done this work, one of the recurring themes (and I’ve certainly been guilty of it as well) is that people believe they need to do everything perfectly. This is especially true when we’ve got a lot of high achievers that are accustomed to excelling at everything they do. This is how that A+ thinking can become a spiral that leads to inaction. Does this sound familiar? "I can’t do SEO if I can't do everything exactly...
Hello Reader, As algorithms get more and more fickle (looking at you, Instagram) I see more and more folks talking about returning to their previously abandoned blogs as a marketing channel. Which is great! I love seeing smart business owners focus on an owned property (remember, the own two online marketing channels you own are your mailing list and your blog).
