35. Your 30-Day Marketing Strategy: 3 Questions to Get Clear and Get Results

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a glossy 40-page marketing plan that costs $5,000 and collects dust on your desk. What you actually need is a simple, focused strategy that helps you generate results now. And the good news? You can create one in less than an hour by asking yourself three simple questions.

For the next 30 days, I want you to forget about chasing perfection or trying to do everything. Instead, let’s build a marketing strategy that’s doable, testable, and designed to get you back on track.

Why a 30-Day Plan Works

I hear from so many creative entrepreneurs who feel like they’re running on a hamster wheel. You’ve got a website, you’re posting on social, you’re sending emails - but none of it feels connected, and the results aren’t showing up.

That’s the problem with trying to do it all without a real plan. You spread yourself thin, waste energy, and burn out fast.

That’s why a short-term strategy is so powerful. Thirty days is long enough to test and see results, but short enough to keep you focused and motivated. And when you’re feeling overwhelmed, clarity + simplicity are exactly what you need.

The 3 Questions Behind Every Strong Marketing Strategy

1. Who are you targeting (just for the next 30 days)?

Instead of trying to talk to everyone in your audience, I want you to zero in on a slice - a micro audience. For example, let’s say you’re a professional organizer. Instead of marketing to “homeowners in your area,” you narrow it down to working moms for the next 30 days.

This doesn’t mean you’re abandoning everyone else. It just means you’re testing your messaging on a specific group so you can see what sticks. When you get clear on who you’re talking to, everything else becomes easier.

2. What do they need right now?

Once you’ve chosen your micro audience, step into their shoes. What’s happening in their lives this month? What are they stressed about? What do they want most?

Back to our professional organizer example: if you’re speaking to working moms in September, their plates are overflowing with back-to-school schedules, sports practices, and endless paperwork. Their biggest problem isn’t “my whole house is messy” - it’s “how do I stay organized with all this new chaos?”

That insight gives you the opportunity to create an offer that feels timely and relevant, like a “Back-to-School Reset” package or a quick digital training on organizing school papers and digital communications.

3. Where do they spend their time?

This is where many entrepreneurs waste energy - trying to be everywhere at once. Don’t do it. Pick one or two channels where your audience already hangs out and focus all your efforts there.

For working moms, that might mean Facebook mom groups or local community events. For business owners, maybe it’s Instagram or a niche podcast. The key is to show up consistently in fewer places instead of half-heartedly in too many.

Why This Works

When you combine these three answers - who you’re targeting, what they need now, and where they spend their time - you’ve got the foundation for a strong, actionable 30-day marketing strategy.

From there, it’s all about execution: creating the simple offer, putting it in front of the right people, and testing the results. If it works, great - you can build on it. If it doesn’t, you’ve only invested 30 days, and you’ve learned something valuable about your audience.

Either way, you’ve broken the cycle of doing “all the things” without direction, and you’ve started marketing with focus and clarity.
