I recently quit my corporate job as an auditor for one of the Big Four public accounting firms so that I could focus 100% of my time and effort on my own businesses. That being said, I did not want to keep waiting and telling myself that one day I would do it. I am living by the quote "Starvation is the best motivation." I quit with enough money to cover me for 5 months while I try to build my businesses into sustainable ones that I can live off of. Because I know so many entrepreneurs that struggle with the fear of leaving a steady paycheck, especially without money flowing in, I thought it would be really awesome to document my journey in a weekly podcast where entrepreneurs could follow along and see what they would go through if they made the same decision. I noticed that most of the podcasts out there focused on people who had already made their success and were now looking back. I wanted to be able to offer an insight into the daily positives and negatives that I go through on this journey as it happens. The podcast is free, but for as much time as it takes, I am trying to build an audience and any ideas on marketing something like this would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Because I am on a budget, I do not just want to blow all of my money on marketing that will not help. Especially because I am using a plan of attack where I just focus on building value for people and then I will worry about monetizing once I have accomplished this.
So far, my strategy for advertising includes the following:
1. Facebook ad campaign that targets entrepreneurs, which honestly costs a lot for what I feel like I will get in return.
2. Hiring a Virtual Assistant to search the web for a bunch of forums and blogs related to entrepreneurship and send me the list, I will write a solid response to a post on each one, with a link to my site included in my signature, and this way, not only will people click because I have provided solid, valuable content, but it will also build good SEO through organic back linking.
So far, that is all I have. I am hoping some people are really good at SEO and marketing for something like this, who can offer some great advice. If it helps, the podcast is called 5 Months to Freedom and can either be downloaded and subscribed to on iTunes or listened to straight from my website at 5monthstofreedom.com. Thanks so much in advance!
