Ever find yourself in those cycles where creating consistent, organic content feels like an uphill battle you'd rather avoid? We've all been there. Between juggling a million things, the thought of sitting down to write a blog post, record a podcast, or film a video can be overwhelming. But what if I told you there's a way to break the cycle? Enter Content Creation Day—a focused time to tackle your content needs. The struggle to drive traffic to your website is real, but it doesn't have to be your forever story.

Your Content Creation Day

Imagine dedicating just one day to content creation in order to help break the cycle by getting you ahead of your content. Yes, a whole day where you focus solely on creating killer content for your business. This is what we call a Content Creation Day, and it's about to become your secret weapon. Now, let's dive into how to make the most of it.

How to Rock Your Content Creation Day

First things first, you must be in the right state of mind for a successful content creation day. You’ll want to come into the day excited about what you are about to create.

To start, do you know when you have the most creative energy? As it ebbs and flows, you can begin to see a pattern if you pay attention. Take advantage of those days and plan your content creation day around them. Block out a few hours leading up to that day to figure out your content calendar so that you can begin to think about your topics. Really get on board and commit to creating some amazing content.

Prep Work Prior To The Big Day

Any great day requires prep work to ensure it goes as well as you hope. Remember, there is no such thing as perfect. Just a plan to get things done and the willingness to follow through to make it happen. So, here's what you should consider.

Before your big content creation day, here is what I would consider prep work. Creating content is much smoother for me personally when I have completed the tasks before I begin. By that, I mean I’m not finding myself going down rabbit holes on the internet looking at new planners or clothes.

You might be wondering how I get myself in trouble researching content. They will have all those dang Pinterest ads in my scroll. Before I know it, I’m on some website oohing and ahhing over something, generally planners and clothes. I know, right, that’s not helpful.

Because I know myself, all the research is done beforehand. But you do you if you're a willpower master and don’t often find yourself chasing down shiny objects, you can do the prep during your Content Creation Day.

Prep Work:

Firstly, all the ideas! Do you have an idea bank to pull from? Yes? Good, go to your idea bank for topics that align with your promotional calendar. Cause, friend, your content and promotional calendar go hand and hand. The podcast episode that goes with this blog post probably includes a comment about peanut butter and jelly or crackers and cheese.

No idea bank? No worries, but start one now. You’ll want to brainstorm ideas. Think about your ideal client. What are their pain points? What solutions can you offer?

Don’t forget this should be in alignment with your upcoming promotional calendar. If you’re a health and wellness coach, listening when this is released, the new year is a few weeks away. This is your golden time, right now your content must be building up your email list and bringing your future potential clients into your funnel.

Out of all your ideas, what do you want to prioritize for your content creation day? Choose topics that align with your promotional calendar and sprinkle in some SEO magic with keywords that have the right search volume for you.

On Your Creation Day

So, what’s the game plan for the day? That’s simple all you do is batch create content, take breaks, and repeat! Depending on your process, this may be batch recording all the podcast episodes or writing all the blog posts. You’ll be focused on creating content for your primary platform. 

At the end of the day circle back and review and revise. Of course, before you hit publish, look at it again with fresh eyes and give it a once-over. Make sure it's polished and ready to shine.
