A few years ago, I never thought I'd be able to take time off my author business or marketing business because I was working so much, but this summer, I have 6 weeks of travel and am enjoying every minute of it!In this week's episode, I'm sharing the 4 different steps I took to prepare my business for time away, so that I wouldn't have to work much while traveling and so that I could truly step away without stress or having a ton of work to do when I'm back. We'll talk about organic marketing, paid advertising, collaborations (and more), and how to keep things going if you want to take well-deserved time away from your work!Resources mentioned (some links may be affiliate links!):Mailerlite, my favorite email marketing platform, is 30% off for new users/users on free plans through Sept 23: https://www.mailerlite.com/a/6m6hIJTYujG6 12 free resources for writers, ends Sept 14: https://upbeat-experimenter-9423.kit.com/effb4e3f2d The Creative's Content Club: join the waitlist so you can be the first to know when we're open for new members soon! https://marketingbyshelby.com/waitlist-podRecommended video about collaborations: https://youtu.be/5qv5URcSqvoThanks for listening to today's episode.
