The Thriving Farmer Podcast


Nov 26, 2019

In this episode, I talk to marketing coach, author, and podcaster, Charlotte Smith of 3CowMarketing.com. We covered lots of marketing topics from building your brand, to reaching the right person with your message, to using social media effectively.

You'll also hear:
- How Charlotte started farming because of her children's health issues
- How she became profitable within one year
- Why she prioritized hiring within the first few months
- How Joel Salatin is one of her mentors due to how he farms and handles the public as a direct marketer
- Why focusing on one signature product is the way to go
- When you find out how you're helping people and what problem you're solving for them, people can't help but share that
- Why identifying your Ideal Customer Avatar is essential to dial in your marketing
- The biggest mistake they made and what she sees beginning farmers make, is scaling and expanding too fast
