About This Episode

We’re excited to welcome Kevin Clune of MSP Growth Hacks as our second repeat guest on this episdoe of MSP Business School. Kevin shares some exciting new tools that MSPs can use to gain consistency in their marketing and dives into his new resource and networking platform, MSP Spark.

4:06 – Kevin and the hosts discuss the challenges MSP owners face when it comes to marketing and how the key ingredient that typically gets left out is patience. Kevin uses an analogy of making a stew to talk about marketing strategy and results.

12:00 – Brian asks Kevin to break down how an MSP who’s new to marketing can jump in. Kevin shares how his new platform, MSP Spark, can help MSP owners work through challenges using their crowdsourcing method and come out with actionable steps.

19:46 – Kevin shares his favorite new tool to help MSPs create written content more easily and more consistently. He reminds listeners that when creating written content, it’s important to write for humans rather than for algorithms.

26:15  – Kevin expands beyond written content, sharing that they are now testing tools for creating visual content and are very excited with the results.
