Winning in Marketing is Getting Started With Consistent Marketing Practices

Content marketing isn’t just another tactic—it’s the only marketing that’s left. In a world where expertise is the currency of trust, if you’re not consistently creating, publishing, and engaging, you’re invisible.

The biggest challenge? Building the habit.

That’s why the best place to start is with a content calendar for an entire year. Map out what you want to create each week, and set aside 2-3 hours weekly to create, publish, and engage. The key is to start small, build the habit, and scale over time.

Ignoring marketing isn’t an option. It’s the equivalent of giving up.

Start with a basic structure:

1. Choose one primary content type (podcast, video, blog) to start.
2. Commit to one new piece of content per week or month.
3. Set specific publishing and engagement days.
4. As you get consistent, layer in more formats and repurpose content.
