Creating content can be an overwhelming task. Trust me, I know. I spent many nights crying in my office, trying to write content for my business. If you're an online business owner in the wellness space without a good system to organize your content creation, it can feel impossible to keep up. But I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be that way.
It's important to have a system to organize content creation to make managing your online presence easier and establish yourself as an expert in your field. Developing a workflow to create quality content that engages readers is the key to building relationships and trust with your ideal clients.
Step 1: Establish Your Content Creation Process
I know what you're thinking—you have zero interest in establishing a content creation process. I get it. You've been resisting the thought of it, and the mere idea makes you cringe. But here's the thing: creating that content creation process is essential for any online business or wellness coach looking to organize their content creation.
You can make this process as simple as it needs to be. Keep in mind it should include setting your goals and intentions, defining who you're actually talking to, researching topics that resonate with them, and creating a content calendar.
Setting goals and intentions helps you determine the type of content to create to help solve problems for your audience. It’s important to set realistic expectations for yourself so you can measure your progress over time. For example, if your goal is to increase website traffic, then you need to create content that will attract more visitors each month until you reach your desired number.
Step 2: Define Your Audience and Research Topics
Defining your audience is crucial because it helps you create content that resonates with them. You need to hone in on your ideal client, understanding their age, gender, interests, and location. Most importantly, understand what problem you're solving for them. I’m sure you’ve heard others say, know what keeps them up at night. This is the most vital thing to understand about your ideal client. This will guide the type of content you create and ensure it's successful in reaching your intended audience.
Now, I know this next part might make you cringe, but it does help. Trust me. I resisted doing any relevant topic research when it came to SEO or that type of thing, but it really is essential. Once you identify your ideal client, research the topics related specifically to them so that the content will resonate. It's not just about generic topics. You need to find out what they are struggling with and how you can help.
Step 3: Create a Content Calendar
Content calendars are a game changer. They allow you to keep track of upcoming blog posts or other pieces of core content you have scheduled in the upcoming month or quarter. When you set up your content calendar, you can line it up with your promotional calendar. This ensures that all of your content will flow into the actual promotion that you're having.
When you organize your content ahead of time, it helps ensure consistency. Take an hour to plan out each piece of content. This way, you're not scrambling at the last minute. I literally did that this week—I sat down and planned out my content for the rest of the year. Now, when I look at my content calendar, I know exactly what I need to work on and what I need to create, which helps me stay ahead.
Step 4: Brainstorm Your Content Ideas
Brainstorming content ideas is essential. When you're creating your content calendar, you want to have a list of creative and engaging topics that your ideal client will resonate with. Make sure you have a system to store these ideas.
I use Notion for my content library, but you can use whatever works for you. Whether it's your project management software or the notes app on your phone, the key is to have something easy to jot down your content ideas. When a brilliant idea strikes, you want to capture it and store it where you can easily find it later.
Developing Quality Content
Creating quality content that engages your audience is vital for your business. People don't read boring copy; they read engaging copy. I completely switched up my emails about six months ago. In the past, I would just highlight the blog post. I stopped doing that because I realized that the emails I actually read each week had personal stories. They gave me a glimpse into someone's life, their struggles, and what they were working on.
Since then, I've changed my strategy. Now, I write about what's going on in my life and relate it back to the topic. I get so many replies and comments about how people love the stories I share in my newsletter each week. This has also increased my open rates to over 50%.
When you're creating a system to organize your content creation, focus on developing quality, engaging copy and headlines. Your headlines should grab attention and make someone want to read more. But remember, no one likes a bait and switch, so keep your headlines and content relatable.
Publishing and Repurposing Content
Once you've created your high-quality content, you need to publish it strategically. Choose the right platforms based on where your ideal clients are. Do they listen to podcasts? Are they on YouTube or social media? Make sure to repurpose your content across different platforms to maximize its reach.
For example, if you do a social media live, take that live and put it on your website, or turn it into a podcast. Repurposing your content is an effective way to maximize its potential without starting from scratch every time. Everyone consumes content differently, so make sure you're reaching your ideal client wherever they show up.
