August Content Ideas for Bakers, Makers and Creatives
Attention bakers, artists, florists, hair stylists, and creative business owners: “creating content” can feel like an overwhelming (and never-ending) chore.
Creative entrepreneurs tend to have lonnnng to-do lists — and sometimes posting social media marketing just doesn’t make it to the top of the list.
That’s why I started this monthly series! I put together 20+ content ideas every month to help you plan your social media marketing in no time at all.
Here is an entire month of creative content ideas for August. This list can inspire your email marketing, Instagram, and Pinterest marketing. Use my simple content creation system to plan out the whole month in just an hour or two!
