Episode 30

Building a Business From What You Know

This episode breaks down what a brand actually is and how to build a marketing strategy that extends your expertise without burning out on content creation. Audrey "The Tech Diva" Wiggins, founder of All Together Marketing and host of Tech Diva Biz Talks, shares how she built a 30-year marketing career by starting with what she already knew and turning side skills into client work.

In this episode:

  • How Audrey fell into marketing by being "the publicity person" for church groups and fashion shows before computers existed, and why starting from what you already do matters more than formal training.
  • What a brand actually is: not just your logo, but the feeling, core values, and impact you have on clients, and how that shows up in your messaging, visuals, and the way people find you in search.
  • Why 90% of podcasters quit by episode three, and how to treat your podcast like a marketing tool instead of expecting it to be the business itself.
  • How to align your podcast, courses, and other content with your main business by keeping the same color scheme, messaging, and focus on your niche instead of talking about everything.
  • Why marketing is more science than art, especially in the digital age where you can track numbers and quantify what's working instead of guessing.
  • The difference between the "sexy" advertising work and the strategic marketing work, and why both matter when you're building visibility for a service business.

Who this is for: Service business owners who want to use content and branding strategically to attract clients without treating every platform like a separate business.
