Marketing Where It Matters

from Marketing Happy Hour Podcast · host Shelby McFarland

Send us Fan MailTrying to post everywhere, run ads, keep up with algorithms, and still deliver for clients? That’s not a marketing plan, that’s burnout. We’re coming to you from a casual volunteer day at a local nonprofit that supports small businesses, and we crack open Chapter Nine of my book Market Like a Boss for a reset you can actually use.We talk about how marketing has evolved from “hard copy” Yellow Pages and local TV to Facebook business pages, SEO, Google Business Profile, and today’s world of Meta ads, Google ads, geofencing, and constant content across multiple platforms. If it feels like the playbook changes every few years, you’re not imagining it. The point isn’t to chase every new channel. The point is to be present and consistent where it matters.You’ll learn a practical framework: start by getting crystal clear on your ideal client avatar, then identify the top places they spend time, and pick a focused starting point instead of trying to launch five “storefronts” at once. We also cover when to delegate, how to decide what to outsource, and why “marketing magic” can’t replace hustle and ownership. Plus, we share a real story of an interior designer who built traction through networking, a strong website, and purposeful posting before scaling up.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more entrepreneurs can find a simpler small business marketing strategy.
