The Content Queen Podcast
Mariah MacInnes
The Content Podcast - Content Marketing, marketing and business!
Hey everyone, I'm Mariah the founder of Content Queen - a content agency and coaching business for entrepreneurs and online businesses!
My purpose is to inform and educate so I started this podcast to help more people on all things content creation, marketing and business to help you build a more profitable brand using content marketing as a strategy!
Join me as I share top tips, my struggles and my triumphs to help inspire or just entertain! Remember, content is king - that's why I love being the Content Queen!
Running a content marketing agency means wearing about 15 hats before lunchtime… strategist, editor, designer, writer, project manager, and sometimes therapist (to yourself and clients).
To keep everything flowing (without burning out), having the right tech stack is non-negotiable.
Over the years, my toolkit has evolved with my business - from solo freelancer to agency owner managing multiple clients, team workflows, and creative outputs across platforms.
Read MoreDo you want to be a business owner and regulate your nervous system?
Same.
So we have Julianna Garrett on ep 301 of The Content Queen Podcast to talk about how our nervous system impacts marketing, and why honouring it might be the missing piece in your strategy.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or frozen when it comes to showing up online, this episode will be a game-changer.
Read MoreCan you believe it? The Content Queen Podcast has reached 300 episodes! Wild.
This isn’t a “let’s reflect on all my favourite episodes” type of podcast, no I am sharing with you how I got to 300 episodes and what you need to be consistent with anything you do in business.
If you have been thinking of starting a podcast or even a new content channel, this episode will help you a lot!
Read MoreDo you want to be a business owner and a thought leader?
Same.
So... we have Martin Huntbach on ep 299 of The Content Queen Podcast to help you scale your thoughts into content that can be used for daysss (or years, probably).
If you want to be seen online for your expertise, check out this interview!
Read MoreLet’s talk about LinkedIn…
A recent client was awarded the top voice badge on the channel (if you don’t know, it is like the blue tick of Instagram before it could be bought).
But this got me thinking, what makes for a “good” LinkedIn presence? I share 3 things (the 3 C’s) I think makes a personal brand work on LinkedIn.
Hate the idea of being on LinkedIn? So did the client who is now a top voice, but in saying that. You never have to do anything you don’t want to.
Read MoreWant to be seen by more people? Struggle to grow an audience on social media?
What about being in other people’s spaces?
Earned media is a great way to expand your reach and tap into an already engaged audience.
So why not start with podcasting? Pitch podcasts and start being seen (and heard) by an aligned community.
Read MoreThere is a lot of marketing jargon out there. One I heard recently as a discussion at a conference was “lo-fi and hi-fi” content.
So let’s talk about it. I want to share with you when you can create lo-fi content and when to create hi-fi and how to create a content strategy for both.
Read MoreWhen we think about Public Relations, we might often think media, right? Getting in the paper, on TV and the like! BUT PR is more than just media. It is about getting visibility for you and your business on various online (and offline) channels.
Read MoreGhosting your email list? It is one of those tasks you know you need to do and you feel guilty every time you think about it.
No more, it stops here. When doing research it was found that at least 50.7% of the people from this study were buying something from a marketing email monthly.
Read MoreFan of networking?
Whether you like it or not, you can’t deny the power of coming together with the intent to connect, add value and see each other grow.
Read MoreHate marketing at the moment?
You aren’t alone - I have heard many people mention this to me recently.
And to be honest - that energy isn’t going to get us anywhere! So I have created this podcast episode to help you check in, reassess and realign.
Read MoreDislike video? Creating, filming, editing? But know it is important for your business growth? Or want to learn some more tips?
If you are on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, you don’t have to post video to get content up - BUT if you want to reach knew people, Reels is the best way - it gets pushed to more than just your followers.
Read MoreWe did 3 workshops, 3 different topics, 3 groups of business owners with the same goal - get visibility, grow their business.
So - let me share with you the 3 key takeaways and how you can use them to market your incredible, impact-driven business.
This is a “working on the business” type stuff!
Read MoreEver wondered why marketing in some ways is really hard?
But doing other types of marketing is natural?
Maybe you find networking amazing but posting on social media is... meh?
This could be because of your energy type.
Human Design is a self-awareness and self-growth system here to unlock what you might have been missing in your business.
Read Moreome are pretty normal like “how many hashtags should I use on Instagram?” or most recently “should I use hashtags at all?”
But others, way more specific and helpful to individual business owners. I have been doing multiple workshops and 1:1 sessions at the moment, so I thought I would share what I am being asked (and answer them for you).
Read MoreI struggle to be consistent…
Yep - I get it. And also, you might have some type of strategy, posting plan. But how do you actually bring it to life? It is no good sitting on your computer if you don’t use it.
I am going to share with you the 3 things I do to stay consistent in my own business while also helping my clients stay consistent as well.
Read MoreYou know what day you post about what, right? Great. You are organised and you are creating content for your business.
But without a strategy it is just a posting plan. It is just a system.
When you know the foundations, it is strategic, that is called marketing! What do you need to be more strategic? Let me break it down for you in this episode of The Content Queen Podcast.
Read MoreWhat is more powerful than your email list, social media content and blog articles as a small business owner?
Earned media.
So if borrowed media are your socials, owned media is your website, email list etc, paid media is your advertising, earned media is all the coverage you get from OTHER people.
Think podcast interviews, news articles, media attention.
How do you get it? What if you don’t have any connections?
Read MoreEver thought “I should start a YouTube”...
Let me play devil's advocate.
I will never say “don’t”. But I will always question those who say “you should” do this, based only on their own experience.
So - let’s break it down, what about YouTube, should we all be on this platform that has more than 2.7 billion monthly active users?
