Who's Marketing you

The Simple Secret to Business Growth: It's All About Marketing





Imagine you're an amazing musician with a beautiful voice. You write great songs and practice for hours every day. But if you only sing in your bedroom, who will ever hear you? No one can buy your album or a ticket to your concert if they don't know you exist.

This is the most important question for any business, big or small: Who is marketing you? It’s the difference between a hidden talent and a thriving business.


Why Marketing is More Important Than Your Talent

Talent is your product, but marketing is how you sell it. Think of it like a movie trailer. The movie might be the greatest film ever made, but without a trailer to show people how exciting it is, no one will go to the theater.

  • Coca-Cola: You know who they are, right? But you still see their ads everywhere. They don't just sell soda; they sell happiness, sharing, and a good time. Their marketing makes you feel a certain way about their brand, which keeps them a global giant.

  • A Local Bakery: The baker makes the best bread in town, but they're struggling. Why? Because people are driving past their shop to go to the grocery store. The bakery needs to market itself, maybe with a sign that says "Best Sourdough in Town," or by posting mouth-watering photos on social media. Marketing turns their talent for baking into a reason for people to walk through the door.


The Silent Reason Businesses Struggle

Many small businesses and creative people fail not because they aren't good at what they do, but because they are the "best-kept secret." They work hard, but they aren't consistently getting their message out there.

  • Example: The Freelance Photographer. They have an incredible portfolio, but their calendar is empty. Why? They're not actively sharing their work. They're not using Instagram to showcase their beautiful photos, or reaching out to local businesses who might need their services. Their struggle isn’t a lack of skill; it's a lack of visibility.

  • Example: The Handmade Jewelry Maker. She creates unique, beautiful pieces, but sales are slow. She’s not using marketing to tell her story—why she started, what inspires her, and how each piece is made with care. Without that story, her jewelry is just another product on a shelf. Marketing turns a product into a brand.


How to Fix Your Business's Visibility Problem

At Market Me Live, we help you stop being a secret. We focus on four key areas to help your business grow.

  1. Storytelling: We help you find your unique story. Your business isn't just a product or a service; it's a solution to a problem, a source of joy, or a creative expression. We help you share that story in a way that makes people care.

  2. Visibility: We put you in front of the right people. This means knowing where your customers spend their time, whether that’s on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or in local community groups, and making sure your message is there.

  3. Client Attraction: We help you go from being "just an option" to the "only choice." We do this by creating a strong brand that looks professional and trustworthy. When potential clients see your brand, they should feel confident that you are the right person for the job.

  4. Consistency: We ensure your brand doesn't fade away. You wouldn’t water a plant once and expect it to grow forever. We make sure you are consistently showing up, building trust, and keeping your brand at the top of people’s minds.

Don't let your talent remain hidden. Your hard work deserves to be seen.

Let's get your business the attention it deserves.

The Art of Starting

Bridging the Gap Between Idea and Action Starting a new project or venture can feel daunting. The gap between a brilliant idea and the first step often feels insurmountable, but it doesn't have to be. Overcoming this inertia is less about having courage and more about having a solid strategy. Here are some proven ways to get started and build momentum, with a few examples to help you along. 1. Start Ridiculously Small Don't try to build the entire business on day one. Instead, focus on a tiny, manageable task. For example, if you want to write a book, don't aim to write a whole chapter. Just write one paragraph. If you want to start a podcast, don't worry about all the equipment and editing. Make one phone call to a potential guest. These small actions create a sense of accomplishment and prove to yourself that progress is possible, making it easier to take the next step. 2. Set a Specific Start Date and Tell People About It Public commitment is a powerful motivator. Wh...

The Best Product? Here’s How

Have you ever considered that you are the first and most important product you’ll ever sell? Yes, that’s right! In today’s fast-paced world, working on yourself is key to unlocking success. It all starts with discovering your Unique Selling Point (USP)—what makes you stand out from the crowd. But it doesn’t stop there. Once you know your value, it’s time to position yourself strategically, package your talents and strengths, and invest in your personal growth. People always meet you before they meet whatever you’re offering. Whether it’s a product or a service, your character and personality speak volumes. If you’re likable, trustworthy, and present yourself well, people are more likely to buy from you because, ultimately, people buy from people they trust. On the other hand, if your character is questionable, it doesn’t matter how great your product or service is—potential clients will walk away. So, becoming the best version of yourself is not only about personal fulfillment, it’s a ...
