Marketing #Unfiltered
Sophia
In “Marketing #Unfiltered," you don’t just learn awesome stuff to help you figure out marketing, you get the BTS scoop of building a business — the hilarious, the traumatic, and the “omg thank god I’m not the only one.” Hi! ✋🏻 I’m Sophia Parra and I’m a social media strategist for coaches. For years I ran an agency where I helped multiple six figure and seven figure coaches create content and strategies that build their following and drive traffic to their offers. My guests and I swap biz horror stories AND share notes around the strategies that took things to the next level. I also show up solo twice a week to answer YOUR marketing questions. So if you’re craving a podcast that feels like the perfect mix of biz talk with a coach and a catch up with your friends; grab a margarita and pull up a chair. I’ve got painfully relatable stories to make you laugh (or cry 🤣), and strategies and perspectives that will help you show up consistently and effectively.

Ep 94 | How to leverage vacation content without living on your phone
In this episode I’ll share my vacation content formula. I don’t know if you noticed, but you probably get WAY more reach when you’re on a vacation or any kind of holiday. Why? Because you’re doing FUN stuff. And whether we like it or not, people are NOT on social to learn about your business. They’re on social to zone out. So it’s really beneficial to mix your biz and social content. Which is PERFECT for a vacation. So listen in as I walk you through what I do to plan ahead, not use a ton of bandwidth, and LOOK like I’m in the moment on social … but I’m not. Other resources shared: I do this really well on IG story, here’s my formula: gotocoach.club/dailystory
