selling in content: making the ask


How much should you sell in your content?

I've been having a lot of discussions about how to include selling in content creation - but in a way that people feel good about.

The truth is, we have to make the ask.

We have to tell people about our offers and services, and sometimes, we have to talk about something over and over and over again.

We are a business and need to sell. It's ok.

But there are ways to do this that are in alignment with how you feel good about selling.

It's a common phrase to say that selling is really serving - and I believe that.

But we need to offer our service in a sustainable, compatible way for how we want to grow our business, the capacity we have, and so on.

In this week's podcast episode, I talk about using our content to help position our sales - and what to consider so that you aren't just doing it the way you think you should but that you hate.

I built and painted a blanket ladder from scratch this weekend. And no, this isn't a metaphor for something business related. Literally. Drilled, glued, painted. A blanket ladder. Proof: Okay fine. There's a business lesson here. Honestly, one of the best things I do for my business is step away from it. When you are thinking about content constantly, and spending more time forcing your next post or topic for your podcast or newsletter, you end up feeling more stressed, more overwhelmed and...

Should we talk about the fact that it's November and October disappeared so quickly we can hardly believe it? Maybe? The past many weeks have been hectic around here, filled with baseball, business and bon bons (I wanted to mention Halloween but keep up with the alliteration). I have been attending many events and as a content strategist, nothing gives me better data about what is happening on the ground for small business owners than being in person.

When I stepped into 2025, I choose 'gentleness' as my word of the year. And that guiding principle has been quite consistent.

It was like when we switch wardrobes from the summer and into the...
