How a Strategic Blogging Partnership Transformed This Creative Business Coach's Content Game
"Consistency is one of my core values! It was killing me that this was falling by the wayside."
Ever heard a business coach preach about consistency only to discover they're struggling with it themselves?
That's exactly where my client found herself in mid-2021.
When Success Creates New Problems
As a sought-after business coach for creatives, my client had built her reputation on helping clients establish systems that worked. Her blog had become a cornerstone of her business—a place where she shared valuable insights that attracted ideal clients and demonstrated her expertise.
But success created an unexpected challenge.
"I had scaled quickly and though I had systems in place for my blog, socials, and emails, my capacity to do all the things quickly plummeted when I booked out my services," she explains.
Sound familiar?
As her client roster filled, something had to give. Unfortunately, it was the very content that had helped her build that roster in the first place.
The Missing Cornerstone
For Erin, consistent content wasn't just a marketing tactic—it was a reflection of her values and a promise to her audience.
"The first thing to fall off was my ability to show up consistently for my audience through my blog and other content...and consistency is one of my core values!" she shares.
This disconnect between her values and her actions created a psychological burden that many mom founders can relate to.
When we can't show up the way we believe we should, the weight of that gap adds stress to an already full plate.
The Strategic Partnership Approach
In the summer of 2021, we began working together to solve this challenge through a strategic blogging retainer.
Our approach wasn't just about creating random content—it was about developing a system that would:
Capture my client’s unique voice and expertise
Align with her business seasons and goals
Serve her audience's evolving needs
Adapt as her business evolved
"Sam was really able to pick up my tone-of-voice quickly. That was one of my biggest concerns in working with a copywriter!" She notes. "Sam jumped right in and was quickly able to deliver my content in a way that felt aligned and on brand/tone."
A Quarterly Content Calendar That Evolves With The Business
The cornerstone of our work together is a quarterly content calendar designed around:
Seasonal business themes that align with what her audience needs at different times of the year
Business initiatives like launches, new offers, and signature programs
Audience pain points that emerge through client work and community engagement
Her vast knowledge base that deserves to be captured and shared
"Sam is amazing at taking what is in my head and getting it out onto the screen. I can ramble away on an idea, and she forms it into a well-organized, fully fleshed-out blog post, that's not only super informative, but super engaging for my audience!"
Beyond Blogging
What began as a blogging retainer has evolved into a comprehensive content partnership spanning:
Website copy that clearly communicates Erin's unique approach
Course launch materials that convert her audience into students
Client case studies that showcase her impact
Email sequences that nurture her community
Social content that extends her reach
This evolution happened naturally as we identified new opportunities to support Erin's business goals through strategic content.
Content That Creates New Business Opportunities
Perhaps most surprisingly, our blogging work became the foundation for entirely new business offerings.
"My blog content even served as the foundation to build my digital course," she explains.
But it didn't stop there.
"Sam has taken my ideas and elevated them. She was the catalyst for a new offer in my business when she was able to take my idea for a blog, roll that out, and then point out another opportunity to show up and even better serve my audience, providing them not only with the direction but with the tools to succeed."
Consistency Without Compromise
Now in our fourth year of partnership, the results speak for themselves:
"I've gotten my consistency back. I'm now able to show up and serve my audience in a way that makes me proud. And I'm so much less stressed and frazzled trying to fit it all in and get it all done!"
For my client, this partnership delivers two critical business outcomes:
Consistency - "Consistency is key to any sustainable business, and Sam is definitely bringing that to my business and my marketing efforts!"
Ease - "Being able to hand this off makes running my business so much easier! I know I can trust her to deliver amazing work, on time, and that it will be spot-on for what I'm looking to achieve."
Why Long-Term Content Partnerships Work Better Than One-Off Projects
Since 2021, I've developed a deep understanding of my client’s:
Business goals and evolution
Audience needs and pain points
Unique voice and perspective
Content ecosystem across platforms
This knowledge allows us to create content that truly serves her business in ways a one-off project never could.
