Quiet Marketing

by Danielle Gardner

If conventional business and marketing advice has not landed in your heart and soul very well, and you want to spend less time online, this book is for you

A calm, discerning approach to business and online visibility for highly sensitive, quietly ambitious service-based solopreneurs.

What is Quiet Marketing?

Quiet marketing is a contrarian approach to business growth that begins with quieting the outside world, so you can come back to yourself, hear your own voice, and trust your own instincts.

It is a calmer, more discerning approach to business growth where personal alignment and wellbeing come first, where marketing becomes a form of artful self-expression, and where you create thoughtful pathways for the right people to find, understand, and trust your work.

Quiet Marketing also offers an alternative to the social media visibility marketing model. That alternative is the ‘discoverability marketing model’ where your work is surfaced by search and AI suggestion to the right people, and the moment they are actively seeking the kind of support you offer.

  • The right blend of gentle clarity and loving provocation

    A colleague mentioned how THIS book has helped her clarify “what I really want” in terms of business/life. So, I ordered it. It’s just lovely. The right blend of gentle clarity and loving provocation. Perfect timing as I embark on this chapter of my life.

  • I have overhauled my marketing efforts to the point that I no longer feel overwhelmed

    My communication is authentic, and I'm getting excellent feedback from my audience and customers. I may not be your ideal target audience (I'm a retailer, and not primarily a content creator, though I do produce content), but it would not be an exaggeration to say that the teachings of Quiet Marketing have changed my work life." — Justyna Frank @cosmicbikes
