So today, I’m going to share how you can leverage the five marketing ecosystems, and especially how you can improve and simplify those through the Chasing Simple Playbook. You’re listening to episode 253 of the Chasing Simple Podcast, and I’m your host, Amanda Warfield.

How do I find time to create content without overwhelming myself? Where should I even be showing up in my marketing? How do I come up with fresh content ideas? Where should I be focusing my marketing efforts? What is lead generation anyways, and how do I do it? Are launches still a thing? And most importantly, How do I put it all together to market my business strategically?
Can I really grow my business without spending all of my time marketing? These are some of the questions that float around in your head when you think of marketing. Welcome friend, this is Chasing Simple, where practical marketing strategy meets simplicity. I’m your host, Amanda Warfield, simplicity focused content marketing and launch strategist, speaker, educator, and author of Chasing Simple Marketing.
I traded in my classroom lesson plans for helping creative entrepreneurs sustainably fit marketing into their business without it taking over their business, so that they have time to grow their business, take time off, and live the life they dreamed about when they first decided to go out on their own.
When I’m working, you can find me working with one on one clients, such as The Contract Shop and Rebecca Rice Photography on their marketing strategy and copywriting, or helping my students simplify their marketing and launches. And, when I’m not, you can find me spending time outside with my husband, Russell, reading in our hammock, watching GameCog sports, traveling, or forcing our cats to snuggle me.
If you feel overwhelmed by marketing, you aren’t alone. Many entrepreneurs find marketing frustrating, overwhelming, and simply an obligation. They know they need it, but they don’t enjoy how easily it can suck up their time when what they really want to be doing Is the thing that they started their business to do, which is why I’m here to help make marketing simple and less time consuming so that you can spend less time on your marketing and more time growing your business and doing what you love.
Each week, I’ll bring you transparent conversations. actionable steps, and judgment free community to encourage and equip you. So grab yourself a cup of coffee or whatever your drink of choice is and meet me here each week for love, support, practical tips, and advice on uncomplicating your marketing and business.
Let’s do this entrepreneurship thing together, shall we?
Here’s the deal, friend. It’s time for your marketing to stop feeling like a constant grind and start feeling like the ball is in your hands. 2025 is the year that you’re going to make more sales with less effort through a simple but impactful marketing strategy.

So, you’re doing all the things, but you aren’t seeing the needle move. What gives? Well, just because you’re doing things doesn’t mean that you have a firm game plan. And without a plan, you’re going to struggle to see the results that you’re looking for. Because without a plan, you’ve got a lack of direction.
You are likely to fail. Seeing and being inconsistent, you’re likely missing opportunities, you’re probably experiencing burnout because you’re creating content with no clear strategy for how it’s going to lead to sales. You may be doing one and done launches, which really can make you feel burnt out, and you may be struggling to reach your ideal audience because your messaging is all over the place, right?
Those are all things that you may be struggling with without clarity. having a firm plan in place for your marketing. But if you have a plan, you would be seeing clarity, you would feel confident, you would be seeing results. Because a marketing game plan acts like a roadmap. It gives you direction and purpose for your efforts.
It allows for more space for experimentation, and it allows you to make data driven decisions. You might be thinking, sure, great, Amanda, I need a plan, but I’ve tried creating plans in the past and something always feels missing. I create plans, I start working them, and then I realize that I need to do this other marketing thing that I don’t have in place yet and everything becomes derailed.
And that’s because marketing is more than just posting to Instagram or sending out email newsletters. It’s a living, breathing beast inside of your business. One that I’ve broken down into five ecosystems to help keep it simple for you. In episode 251, I broke down the five marketing ecosystems within a strong game plan.
The content creation ecosystem, the content strategy ecosystem, the launch ecosystem, the evergreen ecosystem, and the growth marketing. That episode goes into detail about what those ecosystems are, what they consist of, how you run them in your business. So if you haven’t listened to that episode, I would go check that out.
But, because today the doors opened for the Chasing Symbol Playbook, I wanted to give you an inside look on What those ecosystems look like inside of the playbook. How all of this comes together inside of the playbook. So first we have the content creation ecosystem where your goal is to get consistent, to show up with your own marketing, nurturing your own own people in a way that is consistent, that makes the messaging feel clearer, that gives you more space to be creative and to work on these other ecosystems.
Because in reality, if you’re not showing up consistently with your content, and if you’re stuck on that content creation hamster wheel, working on any ecosystems is going to feel impossible. So. Within the content creation ecosystem, you’ll learn how to create a month’s worth of content in less time. But you’ll also be given my year of content prompts to use to help you get started, as well as different templates that I have, like a copy bank template and a content workflow template, so that you have everything you need in one place inside this one content creation ecosystem.
Actually get consistent with your content to get ahead with your content and to have more space mentally and on your calendar for marketing. And then we’ve got the content strategy ecosystem inside of the content strategy ecosystem. You’ll have everything you need to help lead your audience towards a sale instead of just throwing out random content ideas as they come to you.
So first you’ve got my A Year in Preview course and that teaches you how to create your yearly marketing plan that is connected to your revenue goal. So if you haven’t yet figured out how do I set a revenue goal and then actually connect my marketing to that revenue goal? A Year in Preview is going to teach you that.
And then you can take my KPI and marketing workshop and use the tracker template that I have and that’s going to help you continue to find the Pulse on your strategy and see how it’s working. So you create your yearly strategy in a year in preview and then you learn how to set KPIs for your marketing that makes sense for your business and also how to understand what your KPIs are telling you and then use those to tweak and improve your marketing strategy and continue allowing it to be a living breathing thing.
Inside of the launch strategy ecosystem. Well, That’s going to give you everything that you need to run a successful launch from my launch strategy course to my launch content prompts, my launch waitlist email templates. You will be able to smoothly run a launch that will give you an income boost and prime your audience for your next launch or promotion.
And so. If you know that your launches need a little bit of extra something, if you’re just not sure how to run a launch, right, you’re not sure of all the moving pieces, the Launch Strategy Ecosystem is going to help you out with that so that you can put out a successful launch in less time, in a simpler way, with the prompts and the templates and my full strategy.
all in one place. Of course, launches are important, but no strong marketing game is complete without an evergreen ecosystem. So you’ll also receive access to a year inside of the VIP tier of the Chasing Simple community, which that VIP tier allows you to submit your own content and copy every single week for feedback and review.
And it also gives you quarterly one on one calls with me for that individual guidance. For creating and setting up an evergreen ecosystem that makes sense for your business. Plus, you’ll also receive my welcome sequence email templates to help you kick off your evergreen ecosystem. And all of the different information inside of the Chasing Simple community.
We have everything from creating a lead magnet that is going to strategically lead into your offers. We have Some growth marketing. We’ve got creating a sales sequence at this point. That one is always growing. There’s a private podcast there’s all kinds of information and Bonus templates and things like that inside of the community to really help with that evergreen ecosystem And then the final ecosystem is the growth marketing ecosystem where you’ll get everything you need to grow your audience your email list and and start seeing more sales of your course and digital products.
Inside of this ecosystem, you’ll find things like a podcast pitch template, ad templates if you want to run ads on someone else’s podcast, a quiz to help you determine the best growth strategies for your phase of business and more. So your action step for this week is to join us inside of the playbook.
Like I said, the doors open today and right now you can get inside for 200 off. It is just. 7. 97 instead of the normal 9. 97. Now, if you purchased everything in my shop separately, you would spend 2, 918 on all of these. And this is just the beginning for what is to come inside of the playbook. I will be continually adding to it as I create new offers, new templates, and I also even have a little mini course in mind about, um, Setting up and using a waitlist strategy for your courses, but that’s all in the future.
That’s all to come. But you can get inside now, get the absolute best deal possible, and you will have lifetime access as long as this course exists, and you will get those quarterly one on one calls for the next year.

This series, actually, I really loved, and it’s all about, um, Ren Faires, which I did not think was going to be something that would interest me, but it really, really did.
Actually, I thought it was phenomenal. I thought it was phenomenal and, uh, very interesting to learn about as someone who’s never been to one before and, um, it’s well written and the characters are really likable and you just cheer for them and it’s a lot of fun.
