Organize, Schedule, and Manage Your Marketing with the Marketing Calendar by CoSchedule

If you have a desire to be more consistent with your marketing this year, then you definitely need this tool to help you organize, manage and schedule your marketing so you can be more consistent!

CoSchedule allows you to organize all of your marketing in one place and from any place! I have been using CoSchedule since 2015. I first found out about it when I was looking for a content calendar to manage my content marketing. After doing some research, my business coach at the time shared CoSchedule with me and I downloaded their free content marketing template and have been hooked ever since.

Now, CoSchedule is a part of the daily suite of online tools that I use to run my business. So why is CoSchedule the BEST Online Marketing Calendar?

Organize

It helps you to stay organized, and I’m all about being organized.

See All of Your Marketing in One Place

With the CoSchedule’s Online Marketing Calendar, you are able to see both your online and offline marketing all in one place. Whether it’s your WordPress blog post, Facebook post, Instagram post, LinkedIn post, Webinar, a Marketing Event or Email, it all shows up in one calendar for you to manage and see all of your marketing activities in one place. You can use color codes to easily identify key activities in a glance.

Use a specific color for your social media posts, use a different color for your emails, and another color for your blog posts. Doing this makes it easy to see your activity in one glance and know what you are doing on a monthly basis.

CoSchedule also gives you the ability to actually integrate to the tools you use to market your business, so you can automatically see the activity on your marketing calendar. For example, when I schedule an email in my email service provider, ActiveCampaign, it automatically shows up as an email marketing activity in my CoSchedule Calendar, or if I post a new blog on my WordPress website, the blog post automatically shows up in my CoSchedule Calendar. The integration with your everyday tools makes it easy to see and track your marketing all in one place.

Manage

You can manage your marketing by managing your marketing projects, teams, tasks all in one place.

Share Your Marketing from One Place

CoSchedule is a great tool to share your marketing tasks with others. Whether it’s your internal marketing support team or if you’re a solopreneur with an outsource Online Business Manager or Virtual Assistant, you are able to share all the marketing tasks, projects, and responsibilities in one place. Everyone is on the same page for the marketing activity for the week, month, or even the year.

You can also build engagement and repurpose your content by automatically sharing your evergreen social messages at the best times and republishing your top-performing messages by using the ReQueue feature of the CoSchedule Calendar. It automatically reschedules your evergreen social media content.

Schedule

Schedule All Your Marketing in One Place

There are so many great features and uses for CoSchedule, but the most important is that if you want to get results from your marketing you need to plan and be organized and CoSchedule allows you to do both.

In fact, I like CoSchedule so much, that I’m also an affiliate, so if you’re interested in learning more about CoSchedule, be sure to click here or click on the logo below to sign-up.

The Power Within

One of the most important strengths that we have as believers in business is something we often overlook….it’s the power that God has given to us within and specifically leaning on the Holy Spirit to direct and guide us in business.

This ONE thing really is our secret sauce, our secret weapon, the main ingredient for our success. But many people do not think about it or even talk about what it looks like to tap into the Power Within.

In this blog post, I identify key ways you can be guided by the Power Within.

1. Listen to the still small voice

Many times when we are led by the Holy Spirit we are listening to a still small voice inside of us that’s nudging us in a specific direction. It’s usually very subtle, not loud, just an inner knowing that this is the right step or the next best move for you to make.

How about you? Have you experienced inner tugging? A small voice guiding you to the next best step?

2. Pay attention to the signs

Many times the Holy Spirit will guide you through signs. A good example for signs and something that many people have said that they experience is getting a message in 3’s. So you may get an email with a specific message, and then you watch something on TV with the same message, and then you listen to a podcast and it’s the same message.

Hearing something in 3’s can often be a sign that you are being guided or directed by the Holy Spirit. This just happened to me recently. I was doing a podcast interview for my podcast Women Faith + Business and the guest talked about looking for the Joy in Journey. Then the very next day when I was reading my morning devotion, it talked about the Joy in your journey. Last but not least I received the message several days later when someone mentioned in a meeting that there is joy in the journey.

I took that as a definite sign that God was guiding me through the Holy Spirit to look for joy in my journey. Now I am being more intentional about recognizing that there is joy in this journey and making sure I pay attention to it.

How about you? Have you experienced the Holy Spirit guiding you with messages that you receive in 3’s? If so, be sure to share in the comments below.

3. Remember God's Word

Many times the Holy Spirit will actually guide you through scripture. Bringing to our remembrance a specific scripture, verse, or a story in the Bible that may be relevant to what we are going through in life or in business that we can learn from, lean on, or gain insight from. As the word says in John [14:26], “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

4. Let Peace Guide Your Decisions

One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is Peace. When there is a sense of peace in your Spirit about a decision you are being guided by the Holy Spirit. And when you don’t have peace or when you are frustrated or confused, more than likely you are not being guided by the Holy Spirit in your decision-making. Noticing the path of peace is a sure sign that you are being guided by the Holy Spirit.

You’re invited to tap into the Power Within at a one-of-a-kind Power Within Virtual Retreat at home on Friday, September 24th, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. Take time to discover how to fully rest in God’s will and way for your business, learn how to consistently reflect on the direction of your business and seek guidance for what God desires for you in this season, and then discover how to identify the next best steps to reset your business for the last quarter of 2021. Space is limited, so be sure to sign-up to reserve your spot today!

The Power of Scheduling

Last week I shared about the power of waiting, if you didn’t read that post be sure to check it out. I shared five reasons why waiting is powerful, so it may seem contradictory to now write about the power of scheduling. But here is the thing, just because you’re waiting for something to manifest (goals, dreams, visions) doesn’t mean you don’t plan and prepare for the things to arrive, and included in planning is the powerful step of scheduling!

I heard a quote from Marie Forleo that says “If it’s not scheduled it’s not real.” So, on this journey to achieving all that God has placed in our heart to achieve, we must do our part to accomplish our goals by writing the vision and making it plain and then scheduling the activity and taking Spirit-led action!

Here are 3 reasons why scheduling things is powerful:

1. Consistency

One of the biggest struggles I hear from people when it comes to marketing and promoting their business is the struggle of staying consistent. A GREAT way to stay consistent with the marketing activity for your business is to schedule it! If you have a Marketing Calendar and you schedule out your marketing activity on your marketing calendar, you will stay consistent with taking the action needed to market your business.

2. Commitment

If you really want to be committed to consistently marketing and promoting your business then having a marketing schedule will help you to be committed to your marketing. Last year when I surveyed my audience and asked how many people want to market and promote their business for the new year, 100% of the survey respondents said “Yes!”. However, when I asked how many people have a marketing plan and schedule, 95% said they do not have one. Having a plan and schedule shows that you are committed to achieving your business goals and have committed to a schedule to make your dreams a reality.

3. Organization

A large percentage of marketing overwhelm comes from not being organized. Having a set marketing schedule allows you to be organized and avoid overwhelm. I recommend the CoSchedule Marketing Calendar as it helps you organize ALL of the marketing in one place. I’ve used it for years and it helps me to stay organized when it comes to scheduling all of my marketing activities.

If you need help with creating a marketing schedule for your business, be sure to register for the upcoming Marketplace Messenger Group Intensive on Friday, August 27th at 10 am ET. If your desire is to attract the clients you are called to serve with ease and flow join this session to:

Get clear on your faith-based marketing principles
Set your intention for your business goals for the next 90 days
Create a marketing plan and schedule for your business.

Space is limited, so be sure to register to secure your spot!

The Power of Waiting

We live in a world where everything is expected to be done quickly or fast. We are a microwave society where things are ready to consume in 5 minutes or less. Gone are the days of appreciating the slow-cooked, take-all-day to prepare, types of meals because we just don’t have time for it!

We apply this type of timing not only to our food, but our lives, and our businesses. However, if your desire is to be in God’s will and to follow God’s way, sometimes that means you have to be comfortable with waiting for a long time.

Joseph waited 13 years
Abraham waited 25 years
Moses waited 40 years
Jesus waited 30 years

As the saying goes, it takes 10+ years to be an overnight success. So while you are waiting and working, you have to TRUST God for his timing, TRUST God in the process, and TRUST God on your path.

Here are 5 reasons why waiting on God is powerful:
