I've been tracking my business "seasons" for about seven years now and here's what I know happens in the coming months: I get busy. (WOOHOO!)

Summer is often steady or slow, but I ramp up marketing in August and September and those contacts I've been reaching out to are finally at their desks.

A strong marketing plan in Q3 feeds Q4 income. Here's why:

-Editors/managers have money to spend. If they don't use it, they lose it.

-They want to end the year on a strong note in terms of content production and traffic.

-They are gearing up to sell (via ecommerce links, brand deals, advertising sponsorships on content packages or their own products). It's selling season and they need help producting content and copy to accompany their strategy.

THIS is the marketing plan I follow each day, week, and month to ensure I always have work coming in.

Checking off boxes each day reminds me that I'm working on building up business -- even when it gets busy.

I even track my monthly 'invoices out' so I can see how my marketing pays off with billing and ongoing work.

THIS is the marketing plan I wish I had when I was starting out.

Now? It's only $7.97 (and valued over $40).
