Branding Tips from a Business Coach for Female Entrepreneurs
Tired of not quite feeling confident in your business brand? Looking for ways to build your brand in an authentic way? You're in luck because I put together a list of valuable resources to help you improve your branding process. Check out the resources at brandmerry.com!
When I started my business in 2016, I had no idea that the thing I struggled most with would become my superpower.
That's right! I really sucked at branding in the beginning.
Not only was I super unclear about what was required for a solid brand foundation, but I also lacked an understanding of my story and found myself lost in what other people were doing and creating.
I think we can agree, that blending in is kind of the opposite of a strong brand.
Fast forward months after starting to build my website and I discovered the beauty of brand storytelling, emotional branding, and human connection. Needless to say, this understanding made all the technical elements of branding so much easier.
Now, I'm regularly featured as an expert in branding and brand storytelling and today, I'm sharing some of my recent branding resources with you. You can also check out an entire guide I have on my website here if videos aren't your thing.
Now onto the good stuff. Here are 5 resources on my favorite topic ever...branding!👇

Productivity Tips for Work From Home Entrepreneurs
When it comes to productivity, I don't believe it's about doing more, but rather being efficient.

To me, it's about optimizing your time in the best way possible.
It's why I'm always looking for ways to streamline my workflows, ultimately giving me more time to step away from my business and live my life.
It's why I'm so passionate about streamlining the content process and creating repeatable systems for entrepreneurs. Something you can learn all about in my Content Planning Blueprint.

Content Strategy for Social Media and Beyond
When it comes to content creation, I'm in love!
I absolutely love that I can create resources for my audience, and share stories about my personal experiences as an entrepreneur and mother as a way to create brand exposure.
Honestly, creating content is one of my favorite parts of being an entrepreneur.
HOWEVER, I know not many people feel the same. This is why I'm always making resources to help you master your content creation.
Throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, and 6 years of consistent content to back it up, I've found that there are typically 3 components to a successful content strategy for social media and beyond.
1. Systems: These are your weekly workflows, repurposing plans, content calendars, and research! It's the machine that allows you to show up with "fresh" content regularly to grow your audience.
2. Efficiency: This relies a great deal on the systems you have in place, but is also a bit about practice and experimentation. The more you create content the faster you'll get. It use to take me over an hour to write a single email, today I wrote three in 30 minutes!
3. Platforms: Where you show up matters! Not just when it comes to attracting your ideal customer, but also for the longevity of your content. By focusing on more evergreen platforms, you'll not only save yourself time but also give your content a solid chance to last longer than just 24 hours.
To help you break down these 3 components and of course share some extra goodies on content strategy, I'm sharing 5 of my favorite resources to help you master your content creation and overall content strategy for social media and beyond this summer!
