Welcome to CONTENTASTIC! The 5 week coaching course which takes you from content marketing zero to hero in just 5 weeks.

It’s really important that before you do get started that you are willing to commit to the whole programme. Week 4 and 5 are the most intense parts of the course. I would suggest taking at least 2 days of each week here to create and establish your content. If you find you do finish week 1 and 2 quickly you can save time and move onto later weeks sooner, but I recommend doing all of the sections as thoroughly as possible to get the best results from the programme.

We will be looking at the complete content marketing strategy, how to create a sales funnel and how to create the content and how to measure the success of your content. In this course you will get access to many resources as well as a closed community so you can chat with your study buddies!
