"Content Creation Is Too Hard, I Don't Know How To Do It"

Fair enough,

It does seem daunting,

But it really doesn't have to be.

Here are my top three action points to create effective content, easily.

1. Understanding the target audience / dream buyer
2. Single piece content / multiple channel strategy
3. Planning, planning, planning

1. Understanding the target audience / dream buyer is crutical. Where do they hang out? What do they look like? What are their information sources? Trends? Languange (formal/informal)? What marketing channels do they use?

Followed by some deeper understanding around their pains/fears/dreams/desires. What really is their true problem that your product or service solves? And why do they buy? Always keep the customer in mind.

2. Single piece of content / multiple channel strategy.

What does the audience want to hear (that solves the problem), and how do they want to digest that information? Video/blog/email? Most likely it's on multiple channels. By simply creating one piece of content i.e. a blog, and then distributing that content through multiple channels it's taking the hard work out of it. For example, a blog post on the website (great for SEO), which then becomes an email blast, followed by social media posts on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn (audience dependent). Easy.

3. Planning, planning, planning.

Printing out a calendar of the upcoming months and taking a moment to look at events and milestones that are of interest to the audience. i.e. Recruitment companies will typically produce content in the New Year about "New Year, New Job". Fitness companies "New Year, New You". Take a calendar and fill it with ideas of content that could be created that speaks to the audiences' needs/wants/desires/pains. Once it's written down and planned out, all you have to do is action it. Easy.

It really doesn't have to be complicated, and sure, we can build on these three strategies to further deeper the marketing message, but why not have a think about how these three things might impact your business or personal brand?

Let me know if you have a go, or if you have any questions!

"I used to post social media posts, and hear radio silence, or, even worse, I didn't know what to post, so just wouldn't post at all".

Turns out I'm not the only one.

"Buy our XYZ product"

"We are the best"

It. Was. Such. A. Waste.

That is EXACTLY how everyone else runs their online marketing.

Either posting terrible content (sorry!)

Or too scared to post at all!

I realised there had to be more to it than this,

So, I went out and curated a way for my brand message to cut through the noise,

For people to stand up and notice,

For people to nod their head in agreement upon interacting with our brand saying; "that's me!!, I need this XYZ product"

For people to say, wow, I NEED this product NOW, it's going to solve all my pains/problems/desires/fears.

When Chris Desmond from the Uncomfortable Is Ok Podcast asked to have a chat, there was definitely trepidation.

I'm comfortable getting uncomfortable daily; working out, making hard phone calls, making big decisions, unknown situations. But speaking openly is always challenging.

In true 'Christine Westbury' style, we went pretty deep and personal. Talking about my recent business exit, health, sleep, relationships, mediation vs mindfulness and a whole bunch more.
