Free Marketing Resources and Recommendations

A newsletter for small businesses, written by a small business owner.

Get Smarter About Marketing,
Without Doing the Homework

I do the digging, so you can stay focused on running your business.

Every Monday, I dive into the latest marketing forums, strategy threads, newsletters, and trend reports to uncover what’s actually helpful for small business owners. Then I package it all into a free, easy-to-digest email. No spam, no jargon, just real insights you can use.

Whether you're DIY-ing your marketing or just want to stay in the loop without spending hours researching, this newsletter is for you.

You’ll also occasionally hear about updates from my own journey of running a sustainable small business myself, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

What You’ll Get When You Sign Up For My Newsletter

Every Tuesday, I send out a quick email sharing with what I’ve been researching, learning, and experimenting with in the world of sustainable small business marketing strategy.

This newsletter is for small business owners who want to grow smart without spending hours digging through marketing blogs, trend reports, or burnout-inducing to-do lists.

I’ll send:

  • Practical insights from the previous week’s research

  • Time-saving tools and strategies

  • Real stories as a small business owner just trying to figure things out

This isn’t fluff. It’s what I’d want to get in my own inbox: real, useful, and just the right length.

No spam, no pressure, just value.

Ok, so what type of insights, tools, and strategies are we talking about?

Examples of a few past newsletters are:

  • How AI affects web search, and how to get seen in AI overviews on Google

  • Recent core updates from Google: what they are, how to prepare, and what to expect

  • The best marketing platforms for small businesses

  • Keyword strategy

  • What are UTMs and why they are important

  • Why you need to know what GEO is (generative engine optimization)

  • Reporting and analytics: why numbers don’t match (and how to read them anyways)

  • How soon will SEO (search engine optimization) efforts kick in?

  • What website platform is best for my business?

  • Attribution explained

  • How to show up in ChatGPT and Gemini’s instant checkout

  • Social media trends: what to worry about, and what to ignore

  • … and so much more!

Not sure if this newsletter is right for you? I promise, it’s not another inflated, corporate newsletter written by a team that changes every week. It’s written by me, Sierra, a fellow small business owner just trying to help my community grow by sharing my research so you don’t have to research yourself. It’s short and to the point (a lot like me 😉) with the top marketing resources, recommendations, and tactics I have found most relevant that week.
