Marketing can be overwhelming… I hear ya. It takes guts and vulnerability to put yourself and your products out there. Keep in mind that when it comes to your products, YOU are the subject matter expert. You are normally going to be talking to people who have NO IDEA how to do what you do. Keeping this in mind may make it easier to talk to people about what you offer.
As mentioned in the video, I would suggest starting with the 5 steps listed above (in this order) to get your marketing working for you, and converting customers for your baking business.
