Marketing Sucks

Updates from Portugal

July 09, 2024 • Amanda Casinha-Ginther • Episode 24

Olá, meus amigos! This episode of Marketing Sucks comes to you from sunny Portugal, where my family and I will be living for the next three months. This has become our annual summer tradition, inspired by my childhood experiences of travelling to Portugal.

While online businesses give you the freedom to work from anywhere, it isn’t always a seamless transition! In this solo episode, I share the juiciest and most surprising insights I’ve learned from living and working in Europe, the shifts and boundaries that keep my biz running without burning me out, and some updates around what you can expect from the podcast over the next couple of months.

Marketing sucks. Let’s learn together. Hit play to discover:‌ ‌

How I modify my office hours, content schedule, and expectations while working abroad
The harsh reality checks we experienced upon arrival - and how to make sure your new space is ready when you are
How to set your remote work boundaries on day 1 of client onboarding
