How to fix your marketing cheaply
The one way to get more time in your business and get your marketing working on overdrive
I know exactly what it’s like as a business owner, you’re pulled in five different directions and you don’t get time to make a cuppa never mind get your marketing working properly.
I’ve been there myself and I’m about to show you exactly how to fix it so not only will your marketing work seamlessly but you’ll get more time for the important stuff…
You see, the thing is…
For me it all started when I first began building my business. I quickly realised I had way more things to do than I’d anticipated and found myself drowning in admin, accounts, sales, marketing, customer fulfillment… the list goes on and on.
And, with just me to do everything there wasn’t enough time to get through it all, unless I worked every hour I wasn’t sleeping. I found myself thinking – “hang on, I went into business to have more time and freedom, not less!”
The dream of flexibility and being the master of my own destiny quickly evaporated under endless bouts of scheduling, content writing, image sourcing and data reporting.
And the worst part was, I was a professional marketing person. I’d worked in companies and been head of their marketing departments, so being busy and having demands on my time wasn’t something new, but combining this with all the other things we have to do as business owners really did just take me to the point of wondering which way was up.
I was drowning
I remember crying to a friend that it was impossible and asking him how anyone does this without ending up going mad?
He told me I needed to get someone in to help me and he’d heard of this thing called a VA.
I was intrigued…
So, I set about searching the internet to find out what this amazing thing was and to my absolute delight I discovered that a VA is a kind of staff member, there to help you get admin done and keep you on track.
I knew right away this was the thing I needed. I needed someone to take the admin stuff off my hands so I could focus on building my business.
A New Idea…
And honestly, I’ve never looked back since. But, I started to wonder if business owners also found their marketing a time-suck that they simply don’t have the ability to focus on properly and would love to hand off to a VA without it costing a small mortgage like the big agencies charge.
So I set about doing a bit of research into the issue and discovered that many people were saying the same things:
- “I know i need to do marketing but I just haven’t got the time”
- “I wish I could focus on marketing more but I find it takes me too long to get stuff done“
- “Someone told me to be consistent but that is nearly impossible”
- “I have all these ideas and plans I’d like to do with my marketing but I can’t put any more time into it“
- “If I do any more than the bare minimum of marketing I find my other business stuff suffers, so it just doesn’t get done”
So, i asked these people if they’d welcome a marketing specialist VA to help them with these issues. Things like help to:
- Take back time in their business for important things
- Get all that time consuming scheduling and posting done
- Get their marketing done consistently week-in week-out
- Support from a specialist marketer and copywriter with their new ideas and plans
- Support so their other business commitments don’t have to suffer and they can focus on being excellent for their clients.
The answer was a resounding YES!
A Marketing VA is Born
So, I took this idea and ran with it, because ultimately I wanted to make sure that no business has to feel the way I did – trying to do it all and failing.
No dream of owning and running a business should be lost because of overwork, overwhelm, fear and cost.
So I set about building an affordable marketing assistant service for business owners who need to focus on the important aspects of their business and get the support they need at a great price so they can build and grow consistently.
Because, knowing your marketing is taken care of means you can focus on being the best at what you do.

Introducing Affordable Marketing VA Support for all Budgets and Needs
Following my own struggles and realising there was a need for marketing support to just get through the sheer volume of tasks, I’m offering a fantastic opportunity to get access to all my knowledge and experience at the fraction of a cost of a big agency and with the chance to get a new sidekick to help you implement all your plans and ideas…
What you’re about to get…
The thing with marketing is that it needs to be done consistently every day no matter what happens in your business or personal life.
And that’s what I’ll do for you.
…
Things you might be thinking right now…
“I wish I could afford to outsource my marketing…”
Being able to afford to outsource marketing can be a huge problem, in fact being able to afford to outsource any kind of business service can be a big issue and one that takes a lot of overcoming fear to achieve – I’ve been there myself.
But, this is exactly why I created this marketing VA service – to be affordable to every budget.
“I am scared to put myself out there in the world…”
This can be a big problem for the introverts among us, particularly if you’re in a business that is best placed for a personal brand growth plan.
I’m a huge introvert myself and hate being around too many people for too long – it’s exhausting.
But when it comes to marketing it can serve you best if you separate yourself as a person from yourself as the business and this is just one of the ways I can support you.
“I’ve hit a plateau and don’t know how to scale further…”
In situations like this it’s often a case of going back to the plans you have and looking at what’s working, then doubling down on that.
Data is your friend here and is the way you’ll determine what direction to go in. I can help you make sense of it all and see where to go next.
“I am scared of getting it wrong…”
One of the best things about marketing is that you’ll probably get it wrong.
Because, marketing is an experiment and those who are succeeding are the ones who’ve experimented until they found the way that works for them. I’ll help you find your path to success.
“I’m worried that I’ll waste my money…”
This is a genuine concern for many and I can understand why…
When you’ve finally got the courage to outsource you don’t want to waste it on the wrong thing or the wrong person.
I get it…
But, marketing is all about finding the people who love your stuff and I’ll help you work out where they are and how to talk to them.
So, who are marketing assistant services for?
I work with people who…
Just think…
Time back to focus on the fun stuff in life
No more worrying about not having time
No more inconsistency and on-off marketing
A unique support for success
Someone to help and guide you
Plus a new friend…
You could be sitting here in a few months time knowing exactly what you need to do next without all the fuss, stress and worry.
Instead, you have a comfortable plan that gives you the time back to focus on what you’re good at and keeps you happy knowing everything is working as it should.
