16: How to Attract the C-Suite with Content Marketing with Erin Balsa
Then, stop writing those HOW-TO posts. The CMO is not googling how to structure a blog. They are looking for something bigger. They want original research that will help inform their decisions. That’s why you need to move beyond focusing exclusively on SEO content (I mean, do it a little, but not exclusively).
By conducting original research, creating reports, and repurposing those reports - you get the biggest ROI from your marketing efforts and that’s what we’re all about - using your time efficiently and effectively.
In this interview, Erin Balsa and I talk about the importance of original research in reaching executives and the C-Suite.

17: Content Marketing Repurposing: How to 20X Your Content Distribution with Erin Balsa
You create a ton of content, but no one really sees it. It feels like you’re wasting time and money because you never see the ROI.
When I’m working with clients who say they’ve never seen the return on content marketing, I usually have one guess as to the reason: POOR DISTRIBUTION.
Think of repurposing as part of your distribution strategy. By taking pillar or skyscraper content and slicing and dicing it into:
Emails
Videos
Webinars
Blog Posts
eBooks
Guides
Social Media Posts
You get so much more distribution power!
In part three of my series with Erin Balsa, we dive into repurposing as a distribution strategy. You won’t want to miss these nuggets.

35. Maximizing Efficiency: Which Marketing Activities to Let Go When Resources are Limited with Michelle Tresemer
Are you a marketer with limited resources? We’re here to help you decide which marketing activities to cut so that you can focus your energy and budget on what really matters.
In this two-part episode, Michelle Tresemer and I investigated which marketing activities to cut when you have limited resources.
In part one, Sarah and Michelle argue the importance (or lack of) of showing up with regular email newsletters and weekly blog posts.
Spoiler alert: We don’t always agree :)
Email newsletters (we fought over this one).
Email is one of the most effective marketing channels out there, but creating a newsletter takes time and resources. So, should you cut them? Again, it depends on your audience. If your audience is not receptive to email marketing, then it may be wise to cut back on newsletters. However, if your audience is engaged with your brand through email, then newsletters are definitely worth keeping.
Daily or weekly blog posts.
Blogging can be a great way to build your brand, earn SEO juice, and attract new customers, but it can also be time-consuming and expensive. Should you cut them? Well, if you’re not seeing any traction from your blog posts, then it may be wise to cut back. However, if your blog is generating traffic and engagement, then it’s definitely worth keeping.
Join us in the next episode when we explore SEO agencies and being on all social media channels.

36. Marketing on a Time Crunch: What to Cut and Keep with Michelle Tresemer [Part 2]
Are you a marketer with limited resources? We’re here to help you decide which marketing activities to cut so that you can focus your energy and budget on what really matters.
In this two-part episode, Michelle Tresemer and I investigated which marketing activities to cut when you have limited resources.
Search engine optimization is important, but hiring an agency can be expensive. Should you cut them? If you have the expertise in-house, it may be wise to cut back on SEO agency activities. Here’s our advice: hire an SEO agency for projects like website overhauls, audits, and quarterly strategy, not monthly retainers unless they include content creation.
ALL THE Social Media Channels.
Social media can be a great way to connect with your audience and build your brand. But let’s be honest. Maintaining multiple social media channels can be time-consuming and expensive. So, should you cut them altogether? Well, it depends on your audience. If your target audience is not active on social media (or one channel in particular, like Facebook), then it may be wise to cut back or eliminate certain social media channels.

That's the ground-breaking approach we unpack in our latest episode with the dynamic duo, Melanie Boylan and Esther Ocampo, from the Monday Morning Marketing Podcast.

Ep. 67: Why You Should Focus on One Social Media Channel
Hey there! Feeling like your social media strategy is a bit overwhelming? You're not alone! I'm Sarah Noel Block, and this week on Tiny Marketing, I'm here to help small marketing teams by focusing on just one social media platform. By concentrating your efforts where your most engaged customers are, you can create stronger connections and build a thriving community.
I'll also share some tips on how to maintain a presence on other platforms without stressing out. Say goodbye to the chaos of managing multiple channels and learn how to align your social media efforts with where your audience hangs out the most. You don't have to spread yourself too thin – I'll show you how to make your brand stand out on the platform that matters most.
If you're interested in maintaining a low-key but impactful presence on other networks, I've got you covered. Drop by and say hi on our spring break snippet, and if you're up for it, join the conversation through my email list. Let's tackle this marketing journey together, one step at a time!
Key Takeaways:
Focus on One Social Media Channel: Sarah advocates for focusing on one social media platform because it's challenging to create and maintain engaging content across multiple platforms, especially with limited resources. By concentrating your efforts on one platform, you can build a more engaged audience.
Engagement Over Automation: While automation and repurposing content across platforms might seem efficient, Sarah argues that it's not effective for engaging with audiences. Instead, she recommends creating unique content tailored to each platform for better engagement.
Create Profiles on Other Channels: Even if you're not active on all social media platforms, it's essential to have a presence. Create profiles on these platforms, use the same username, and direct users to your primary platform where you are active.
Use Pinned Posts: On platforms where you're not active, create pinned posts that explain what you do, who you serve, and how you're different. Include a call to action or a link to your lead magnet to drive traffic to your primary platform.
Engage Actively on Your Core Channel: On your primary platform, establish a posting cadence and engage with your audience regularly. Engaging with others' content helps increase your visibility and grow your audience.

Ep. 74: Three steps to increase customer lifetime value | Expert Guest: Amy Posner
Hey everyone! It's Sarah here, wrapping up our branding series on the Tiny Marketing podcast. In today's chat with Amy Posner, we explore the ins and outs of boosting your client's lifetime value—starting right from the get-go! Amy, with her treasure trove of entrepreneurial wisdom, shares some killer strategies to make your client experience a game-changer from the first hello.

Tune in, get the lowdown on turning casual connections into lasting profits, and, as always, let's keep the conversation going—your thoughts and stories make our little community thrive!
Biggest Takeaways
Start Strong: The initial lead generation and client onboarding process are crucial. Setting up a positive client experience from the beginning can significantly impact their perception and the overall value they find in your services.
Build Trust Early: Introduce a gateway offer, like a strategy audit or report, to help you gather comprehensive information about the client's needs and goals. This establishes trust and positions you as a knowledgeable partner right from the start.
Deliver Consistent Value: Continuously deliver value throughout the client relationship, not just at the sale point. This approach helps in maintaining engagement and satisfaction, leading to higher retention rates.
Optimize and Follow-Up: Don't just complete a project and move on. Schedule regular check-ins, like quarterly audits or optimization sessions, to revisit and refine strategies as necessary. This ongoing involvement can lead to additional projects and deepen client relationships.
Use Personal Connection: Engage clients with a personal touch—sharing stories, being genuine, and showing that you care about more than just the business aspect. Personal connections can make clients feel valued and more likely to stay loyal to your services.

Ep. 75: The Secret to Choosing Sticky Brand Names | Expert Guest: Alexandra Watkins
In today's episode of Tiny Marketing, I, Sarah Noel Block, dive deep into the art of naming brands with the incredibly talented Alexandra Watkins, the mastermind behind names you know and love, like the Wendy's Baconator!
Biggest Takeaways
Smile and Scratch Framework: Alexandra Watkins provides a clear and effective methodology for naming brands through her "Smile and Scratch" framework. SMILE stands for Suggestive, Memorable, Imagery, Legs, and Emotional—qualities that make a name attractive and sticky. SCRATCH represents the pitfalls to avoid, ensuring the name doesn’t confuse or alienate potential customers.
Importance of Memorable Names: A great brand name should leverage existing knowledge or concepts to be memorable. For instance, using metaphors like "Kryptonite" for a bike lock plays on familiar themes (Superman’s weakness) to enhance recall and association.
Strategic Repulsion: Effective naming isn’t just about attracting the right audience but also about repelling the wrong one. This ensures that the business aligns more closely with its ideal customer base, enhancing satisfaction and efficiency.
Emotional Connection: Names should make a strong emotional connection with the audience. This connection can transform a mundane interaction into a memorable experience, fostering loyalty and positive associations with the brand.
Future-proofing Your Brand Name: It’s crucial to choose a name that doesn’t limit your business's growth. A name should be broad enough to encompass potential future expansions and not lock you into a narrow niche, preventing costly rebrands down the line.
Meet Alexandra
Alexandra Watkins is a leading and outspoken authority on brand names with buzz. If you have ever eaten a Wendy’s Baconator, you have literally eaten the words. For nearly 20 years, she and her naming firm, Eat My Words, have created love-at-first sight brand names for countless companies including Amazon, Coca-Cola, Disney, Twitter, and Google.
