TIPS ON CREATING CONTENT CONSISTENTLY
Check out ways you can create content consistently without blinking.
- Research trending topics in your NICHE or industry.
You can get this on platforms like quora, answer the public etc. Once you have a list of frequently asked questions in your niche, then you can head over to the next stage.
- Maintain a Content Calendar
Imagine you have content planned out for the whole month. What a better way to boost your morale for the month plus it’s not hard to create one.
I have a note book where I write down the dates of the month and what I want to post. Yours can be as detailed as what type of post it would be ie video, reel, carousel, screenshots etc
- Have a Swipe File
This is a file or bank for already stored up write ups you’ve collected. This can serve as place you’ll run to for inspiration. Also, Keep a list of content ideas that occur to you when you’re READING and researching. Don’t try to rely on your memory.
You’ll be able to hit the ground running when you have a list ready to review.
- Document other ways to REPURPOSE it.
Here’s another list that you can create. Think about ways to repurpose content you’ve done in the past. You may not be able to create all the content at the same time, but you will be glad you can refer to that list when you don’t have a good IDEA ready and waiting.
- Create long-form and short-form content using the same topic.
If you’re sure you have a winning idea, create two versions of the post, one short and one long, and see which does better. The shorter one would serve readers with shorter span whereas the longer one would serve for those readers that want more information on your topic.
- Use emotions in your content.
Create both a positive vs a negative spin on the topic. Then ask readers which one they agree with and get more views.
