A Complete Digital Marketing System for Small Business Owners
2026 Update
Welcome to The Business Edit.
Everything you need to build a consistent, compelling, multi-channel marketing presence — from your very first profile to a full email list-building strategy. Start free. Go at your own pace. Grow on purpose.
How The Business Edit Works
This isn’t just a worksheet. It’s a complete digital marketing system built specifically for small business owners and entrepreneurs who are ready to stop winging it and start showing up with strategy and confidence.
The Business Edit has three levels. You decide how deep you want to go.
Step 1
The 2026 Social Media Cheat Sheet Free
Not sure where to focus your social media energy? This is your starting point.
This Social Media Platform Picker helps you identify the right 1-2 platforms for your business in about five minutes, so you stop trying to be everywhere and start showing up where it actually matters.
Includes the 2-Platform Rule framework, platform demographics, and a travel and hospitality callout for businesses in that space!
Step 2
The Business Edit Workbook Bundle $17
Now that you know where to show up, it’s time to nail exactly what to say.
The Business Edit workbook walks you through crafting consistent, compelling brand messaging for every major platform — from your profile name and bio to your long-form descriptions and image sizes.
Includes the workbook plus the full 2026 Social Media Cheat Sheet workbook with current platform stats, demographics, hashtag guidance, and scheduling tools.
This is the very system that I use for my own channels and my clients’!
Step 3
The Business Edit Signature Course Coming Soon!
The full system. A 7-week deep dive into building an effective, multi-channel branded marketing campaign from the ground up with a heavy focus on list building and email marketing, because your list is the one asset you actually own.
This is the course I’ve been building toward for 25+ years of working with small business owners. It’s everything, taught properly, in the right order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good questions deserve good answers. Here are the ones I get asked most. (And if your question isn’t here, the answer is probably just an email away.)
What exactly is The Business Edit?
The Business Edit is a complete digital marketing system for small business owners. It starts with a free platform picker guide, moves into a $17 brand messaging workbook bundle, and builds toward a full 7-week signature course covering multi-channel marketing, list building, and email strategy. You can start at any level.
Where should I start? I’m brand new
Start with the free Social Media Platform Picker. It helps you figure out which 1-2 platforms are actually right for your business in about five minutes, so you stop spreading yourself thin and start showing up where it counts. From there, the workbook bundle is your natural next step.
What’s included in the $17 workbook bundle?
You get The Business Edit brand messaging workbook plus the full 2026 Social Media Cheat Sheet. Together, they cover platform character limits, bio frameworks, image sizes, current demographics, hashtag guidance, scheduling tools, and a copywriting strategy guide. It’s a lot of value for $17, on purpose.
Do I need any special software to use the workbook?
Nope! Adobe Acrobat Reader works perfectly, and it’s free. The workbook fields are fillable so you can type directly into them on your computer, or print it out if you’re more of a pen-and-paper person. Either works great.
What will the 7-week signature course cover?
Everything. Brand foundation, website and profile optimization, social media strategy, email list building, Constant Contact setup, and how to tie it all into one cohesive marketing ecosystem. It’s the course I’ve been building toward for 25+ years of working with small businesses. Join the waitlist to get founding member pricing.
I already have my social media set up. Is the workbook still useful?
Almost always yes. Most business owners who work through it find at least two or three things they want to update immediately: bios that are outdated, image sizes that have changed, descriptions that are missing, or copy that no longer reflects what they actually do. Think of it as a tune-up for your online presence.
What platforms does the workbook cover?
nstagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, X (Twitter), Threads, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile — all with current 2026 character limits, image sizes, and platform-specific tips. Yes, Threads and Bluesky are in there.
What’s the refund policy on the workbook bundle?
Because it’s an instant digital download, all sales are final. That said, I stand behind everything I create. If you have a technical issue with your download — a broken link, a corrupted file, anything like that — email
hello@cindyleighmedia.com within 7 days and I’ll make it right.
How is this different from just Googling social media tips?
Everything here is curated, current, and built specifically for small business owners not influencers, not enterprise brands, not generic advice. The workbook gives you a reusable system you fill in once and refer back to forever. The course gives you the strategy to actually connect it all together. Google gives you 400 conflicting opinions. Big difference!
