We are so excited to get this party started, First name / friend! Everything officially kicks off tomorrow, but we’re in your inbox today to get you prepped. So YOU can make those MOST of this challenge.
Because here’s the deal:
While we love us some pretty graphics, there’s no point (literally none) in spending a second of your time making them if you don’t know how they’re going to serve you.
So that’s what we want you to be thinking about right. now.
Not tomorrow. Not Thursday. Not after this challenge. Right now.
First be thinking about the overarching goal you have. You could be…
- Hoping to land your first or next client
- Wanting to increase subscribers to your latest opt-in
- Trying to get people to go follow you on a certain social platform
- Hoping to sell your latest handmade products
- Wanting to launch (or sell more of) your digital offer
- Trying to education your audience so they can be ready to buy from you later
- Or something else that works with your end goals!
No matter what it is, think about it.
Then we want you to write it down.
If you haven’t already be sure to download our handy dandy 4 Day Batch Blitz Challenge Planner. You can print it off and fill it out or fill it in digitally. Either way, the very first spot is there for you to write in your goal.
Congratulations! Now you have guidance on what your content cant be this week.
Next, we want you to start to think about the days ahead. Tomorrow, we’ll be tackling Instagram feed and story graphics. So with your goal in mind, what’s some messaging that you could use that’s in alignment with that goal?
Use the space on Day 1 to start to jot down ideas, dates and themes that you could go off of when you do sit down to create your graphics tomorrow.
You can either wait until you’ve completed tomorrow’s tasks before you start to plan out Day 2 or you could sit down and plan it all out now. Totally up to you.
One other thing we want you to think about today is to help you narrow down your options. We know how easy it is to get overwhelmed with all the social media platforms and marketing opportunities that are available.
We encourage you to not be everywhere. Pick the platform and strategy you want to run with this week and stick with it. So here are the options that are available to you for each day.
Day 1 - while we’ll be talking all about Instagram graphics tomorrow you could also repurpose the graphics to be used on Facebook if that platform is working for you. Make your choice.
Day 2 - while we’re making graphics for Pinterest and we talk about using them for blog posts you could also repurpose them for any other long term type of content. So you might make them for your podcast episodes, your opt-ins, tutorials, your offers or services, your video channel or more. Make your choice.
Day 3 - this day is all about email, but we’re actually going to be discussing two platforms on this day. The first is FloDesk (our favorite email service provider) and the second is Dubsado (our favorite CRM). Using only FloDesk might work best if you don’t work with clients at all, while using both (or just Dubsado) might work if 1:1 work is your bread and butter. Make your choice.
Day 4 - while we’re going to be walking you through how to make video graphics for 3 different platforms we encourage you to pick one. So we’ll be covering YouTube thumbnails, IGTV covers and Reel/TikTok covers. Pick the one that works for you (or the one you’re most excited to explore) and stick with that.
Whew okay! We really encourage you to dig deep into deciding your goal today and writing it down in your workbook. Annddd if you take a screenshot of your scheduler and post it in the daily prompts for Days 1-4 in the Facebook group, you'll be entered to win a full year of The Creative Template Shop and a full year of Dubsado.
As an extra bonus for you today, our friends at Dubsado are going live in our Facebook group at 11:30am CST. If you’re brand new to Dubsado or you just want a great walkthrough of how to use it and how to set up your account, make sure to join us. Remember, Dubsado is perfect for service-based business owners. Some of the topics we’re going to be covering in this challenge will work seamlessly with Dubsado, so make sure to join us to learn more!
We’d love to cheer you on! Be sure to screenshot your goal and share it over on Instagram and tag us @bossproject so we can see and share it.
We will be in your inbox bright and early tomorrow, First name / friend! See you then.
