Marketing is like playing the lottery â youâve got to be in it to win it.
If youâre not in the right place at the right time with the right message, youâll miss out on the sale.
It would be like having the same numbers on the lottery every week but forgetting to buy a ticket the week those numbers come up.
Thatâs why your marketing has to be consistent.
People often only âdo marketingâ when they need more work â they havenât got time to keep up with it during the busy periods. Then they go quiet, so they have a big push.
Then what happens? They get super busy again, so they donât do any marketing. And round and round the cycle goes.
Many freelancers talk about the feast and famine cycle as if itâs inevitable. Itâs not.
If your marketing is consistent, your leads will be consistent.
So, always keep marketing, even when youâre busy.
You can use the quiet periods to create a bank of content â social media posts, blog posts, videos, emails etc.
Then when youâre busy, all youâll need is a few minutes each day or an hour a week to share content or schedule posts.
And if youâre consistent with your marketing, youâll see the peaks and troughs start to level out, giving you more control over your workload.
