Visibility is one of the biggest shiny objects in marketing.

Because everywhere you look, you’re being sold MORE – more reach, more followers, more views, more traffic, more leads, more people coming into your world.

And because those numbers are easy to see, they can very quickly become the thing you focus on when sales aren’t where you want them to be.

So you assume you need a bigger audience, or that if you could just get your offer in front of enough people, the sales would follow.

And sometimes, that is absolutely true.

But sometimes, a lack of visibility is blamed for a lack of sales when the real problem sits somewhere else in your marketing.

So in today’s episode of the How I Do Content Podcast, I want to talk about the visibility trap – when visibility is genuinely the thing you need to fix, and when chasing more visibility is distracting you from the actual problem

Let’s get into it.

I spend a lot of time observing, auditing and creating marketing for both myself and my clients.

My days are spent immersed in all things marketing – whether it’s strategy or execution.

I know where to look when things aren’t working, what to do next when they are and how to apply that across different industries, business models and offers.

So I know my stuff. I’m not one of those people who tells you the only way to be successful is to follow exactly what I do.

I’ll always tell you what you need to do to be successful in a way that works for you, your business and your goals.

And right now that matters more than anything else because we have an avalanche of marketing gurus who are sprouting advice that’s serving absolutely no one except for themselves.

Because while the gurus get richer, the people who help them make that money are wondering why it’s not working for them.

And that’s because they don’t really know marketing outside of what’s worked for them.

So in today’s episode of the How I Do Content Podcast I’m going to take you through what I would actually look at if I audited your marketing today, and what each part would tell me about where the real problem might be.

So let’s get into it.

It’s officially Q4, which means we’ve somehow reached the part of the year where a lot of business owners suddenly realise there are only three months left to hit the goals they set approximately 84 years ago in January.

And because Q4 is traditionally a big selling period, this is usually the point where the pressure starts to ramp up.

There are launches, promotions, Black Friday, Christmas campaigns and a whole lot of noise about how to get more reach, more eyeballs and more sales before the year ends.

And yes, your marketing absolutely should help you make the most of the buying opportunities happening right now.

But I think there’s a second job your marketing needs to do between now and Christmas, and this is the one a lot of business owners overlook.

It also needs to help you build a stronger customer journey going into 2027. Because I KNOW you don’t want another year where you’re STILL relying on constant content creation to keep your marketing moving.

So that’s exactly what I want to unpack in today’s episode of the How I Do Content Podcast. How to build a Q4 marketing plan that makes the most of buying behaviour now AND uses the next three months to build something stronger underneath it.

Let’s get into it.
