The Content Experiment Podcast
Abby Herman
The Content Experiment Podcast is a podcast for service-driven business owners who know that content is important but there's also so much more to marketing and business growth.
Here we talk about showing up for your audience in a way that they want to hear and in a way that's sustainable for you. This might mean publishing a weekly podcast or blog, but it also means paying attention to your email list, leveraging other people's audiences, building relationships, and getting over the limiting mindsets that often hit when we're reaching for the next level in our business.

240. How to Ramp Up Content Repurposing in Your Business
When you create content for your business, it can serve so many other purposes than what you created it for. But there's a process behind repurposing content that you need to be aware of before you start copying and pasting or recording yourself reading your blog posts for your podcast. There's a lot to consider, including what kind of content you want to repurpose, where it will serve you best, how to get more reach out of what you've already created, and things to consider when using "old" content, among other things. Listen in this week as I address each of these questions and give you some specific examples of how to repurpose your own content.

237. Embracing the Power of AI with Danielle LeFleur
If you spend any time in the online space, you've been hearing a lot about artificial intelligence. There's a lot to digest there: the types of tools, which one works for what type of needs, etc. And even if you think you have no need for AI, trust me when I say that you do. In fact, you're probably already using it whether you realize it or not. I was admittedly resisting AI but after hearing this week's guest, Danielle LeFleur, present on the topic a few months ago, I knew I needed to not only educate myself but also actually use it. You're going to want to take notes on this one! Danielle names some of her favorite tools and we talk about how both content creators and business owners need to get on board…and also why you shouldn't necessarily let go of the person who is creating your content right now. Mentioned in This Episode Schedule a call with me Connect with me on LinkedIn Follow me on Instagram About Danielle LaFleur Danielle has over 30 years in Marketing, IT, Network design, development, and workforce leadership training.

236. Is Social Media "Really" Marketing?
If you're posting regularly on social media are you actually marketing your business? (Really?) My short answer is no, you're not. But it's a lot more nuanced than that. Sure, social media creates an online presence for you. But the way most people are "doing" social media is not doing anything to help market their business. Instead, they're simply making more noise. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing why social media isn't "really" marketing if that's all you're doing, and what to do instead. (Hint: put some of the social back into social media!)

235. Revisiting and Realigning Your Goals with Josephine Owusu
If this hasn't been your year, it's time to change things up! But how? And in what part of your business? That's where having some clarity and business strategy comes in. Going through the motions may have worked a few years ago, but these days being really intentional about where you spend your time is the key to success. This week on the podcast, we're talking strategy, setting and reaching your goals, finding ways to diversify your offerings, and leveraging a community that you build through networking. All of these are exactly what you need at this point in the year, especially if you've been struggling. And this week's guest, Josephine Owusu, even walks me through how to look at one of my own goals for later this year. I love the way she talks through each step of achieving it.

234. 10 Years of Business: A Celebration?
Yes, that question mark in the title was intentional. After 10 years of being in business full time (16 years total), not every week or month or year has been great. And I want to talk about it…and keep talking about it. There's too much toxic positivity out there and not enough talking about the struggles that we all face as business owners. This week on the podcast, I'm celebrating 10 years of business and reflecting on why I'm still here, why it's okay to not be okay, and some of the reasons why I left my teaching career in the first place. This is not your typical celebratory episode, and I share a little bit of my story and the conversations I've been having with others about business being a bit of a struggle right now. Listen in, and let's keep this conversation going. Mentioned in This Episode Schedule a call with me Connect with me on LinkedIn Follow me on Instagram

233. Creating a Space for You with Jessica Kupferman
If the universe doesn't magically create a space that's meant for you (because it won't), you create it yourself. That's exactly what Jessica Kupferman did when she and co-founder Elsie Escobar started She podcasts back in 2013 and 2014. After noticing that a lot of podcasters were men and "gurus" who were just interviewing one another, they decided they wanted to do something different. Fast forward to today, Jessica and She Podcasts is still growing, hosting an active Facebook group, live conferences, a coaching program, a new 501(c)3, and a host of other ventures. This was such a fun conversation about living up to our parents' (and society's) expectations, gaining visibility online, attending in-person conferences, making a space for yourself, why nothing has to be perfect, and so much more.

232. What to Look for When Hiring Marketing Support
So you think it's time to bring in marketing support for your business? If you're finding yourself strapped for time or simply pushing your marketing to the back burner, you're probably right. But who you hire and how you structure the position in your business is going to have a big impact in your (and your new marketing pro's) success. It's not about finding the biggest name or the biggest agency in marketing; it's about finding a good fit for your needs. This week on the podcast, I'm sharing some of the most important things to consider when you're talking to marketing professionals about their services and determining if they're a good fit for you (and vice versa).

231. Don't Get Duped By Course Sales Pages with Deanna Seymour
You've probably been on the receiving end of buying a course that didn't quite live up to the hype that you saw on the sales page. You didn't get the results you wanted or maybe the course took more time than you expected or you spent more than you planned because of all the "bonuses" (and fear tactics) that you were fed. This has happened to me too! And I know way too many business owners who have fallen into this trap too. This week on the podcast, Deanna Seymour is sharing the solution to this problem. If you've ever bought a shiny object and regretted it later (or you want to avoid selling a course that won't give buyers what they're actually looking for), this is the episode for you.
