You've built something successful.
Money's coming in.
People know your name.
And yet.
Your content strategy? Still a mystery.
We started Your Soul Time—our wellness e-commerce brand—while keeping our day jobs. Mojca managed her agency clients, I coded at ConvertKit. Zero funding. Zero guarantees in a market smaller than most corporate marketing budgets.
Just content.
Raw strategy.
Endless testing.
Two years later: over €2M in revenue in Slovenia—a country most people couldn't find on a map.
Nobody told us this stuff when we started. So I'm telling you now. Three lessons that matter if you want content that drives sales, not just likes.
1. Consistency Isn't About Willpower. It's About Systems.
Missed posting deadlines aren't because you're lazy. They happen because you don't have a system.
We'd post whenever inspiration struck those first months. Worked fine until actual business problems took over. Then weeks of silence.
What fixed it? Treating content like product:
- Templates for everything
- A swipe file of what actually worked
- Workflows simple enough for anyone to follow
- One whole day per week reserved for content (and nothing else!)
Suddenly posting wasn't this creative burden hanging over me—it was mechanical. Predictable. Something I could hand off.
Steal this: Build a system so straightforward your newest hire could run it. You need a machine, not more brilliant ideas.
2. Content That Converts Doesn't Look Like Marketing
Our best-performing posts never had "BUY NOW" buttons.
One was about our nervous breakdown before opening our second shop location in Zagreb.
Another was a funny sketch using our whole team as actors.
No calls-to-action. No sales pitch. Both drove massive sales spikes and visits to the store.
We stopped making "marketing content" and started making things actual humans might care about. Asked "What's worth saying?" instead of "How do we pitch this?"
Our stuff got messier. More honest.
Fewer product features. More stories about the people using it.
That shift built trust. Sales followed without begging.
Steal this: Write like you're texting a friend at 1 AM, not crafting corporate copy. When it resonates, they buy.
3. The Algorithm Didn't Build Our Business. The Community Did.
No growth hacks here. Just old-school relationship building.
Answering DMs at midnight.
Showing warehouse chaos, not just perfect flat lays.
Letting customers into decisions other brands make behind closed doors.
Scalable? No chance.
Profitable? You better believe it.
We've got customers who've bought from us 15+ times. Not because we have the cheapest prices or fanciest unboxing—but because we stayed honest to ourselves and our community when others disappeared.
You can't outsource relationship-building.
But you can build a framework that keeps you sane.
Steal this: If you're just hunting for reach, you're missing the point. It's the relationships that create lifetime value.
You Don't Need More Reach. You Need Better Rhythm.
Your offer works. You've got customers.
Now it's time to make content work for you—not drain you.
At Super Spicy Media, we turn random content creation into strategic systems that grow businesses with less effort. Period.
