Listen "Attracting your ideal audience with content that speaks to them"
Episode Synopsis
Do you ever feel like content is a one-sided conversation?

She explores what it truly means to create intentional content that connects that builds trust and moves your ideal audience through their client journey.
Mel begins by breaking down the often-confused terms audience, niche, and ideal client, and why having clarity on each is essential to building a strategy that feels aligned and effective. Then, Mel shares her go-to techniques for creating content that reflects your values, speaks to your people, and brings ease back into your content marketing.
