A Little Bit of Content:

Tips for small business owners

↓

This week, I want to talk about content that is NOT on social media.

Social media marketing plays a role in our business. But where else should we be creating content?

I don't pretend that social media (especially Instagram) should be the only place we think about when content planning. I partially take that approach because I also don't want to feel like I need to be on social all the time.

Social ends up being a major focus, I think, because when it works, it works really well, but also because for many of us Instagram takes up so much time and energy.

It's not easy showing up on Instagram all the time! I always say that it's like 5 apps in one.

How are we supposed to record video (and edit them), create copy, go into Canva and make images, share behind the scenes etc etc etc. Without feeling overwhelmed?

A content strategy helps determine where to spend your content creation time.

Sure, having a clear plan helps because it takes away the 'what do I post next?' dilemma.

But a good content strategy should also incorporate other content pieces, beyond social media.

What does this look like?

➡️ Non-social content may include:

  • blog posts or website content
  • sales page content
  • podcast or video series.
  • newsletters
  • guest posts and articles on other sites
  • sponsorship of events (and the write ups the event shares about you)
  • a media plan
  • or ads campaign

That's a long list, right?

Social media can't be the only thing we focus on when we talk about content. With a limited amount of time to spend creating content of any sort, having a plan (and knowing what tactics and actions to take) is crucial.

Do you agree?

What are you currently focusing on when it comes to content and creation OTHER THAN social media?

Reply and let me know your concerns or questions about where else to create content, without adding hours and hours to your day!

Ps: I'm launching a 6-week program with two fellow business owners that is going to help small business owners like you create clear messaging, get more confident when showing up online, and learn how to talk more about who you are and what you do (on social and beyond). Does that sound like something you'd love? We are just launching it today with early bird pricing. Check it out here. 💡

The content, marketing, business and life newsletter Do you have a strategy for pitching to be a guest on other people's content? Getting in front of new audiences, as a guest blogger, podcast expert, speaker at an event etc, is such a great part of our content planning. Recently, I was a guest on the What She Said podcast and radio show with Candace Sampson. I was chatting about PEI! A favourite family travel destination of ours (I'm actually there right now as this email is sent). With that...

The content, marketing, business and life newsletter We are consuming too much content and it's affecting how we create our own. Yes, I also think we are creating too much but that's a story for another day. When it comes to consuming, we are scrolling and searching and spending time 'researching' when really, some of that time can be spend doing. The truth is, and I know this because I do it myself, there's only so much we need to consume. It's different when we engage and reply and build...

The content, marketing, business and life newsletter The summer might look different for your business. Not only are your clients or customers changing their habits and how they spend their time, but you may be changing your schedule too. For those of us with kids out of daycare or school, we begin an interesting balance between getting stuff done for our business while also crafting, playing, travelling with our families (or driving teens to and from events). My best advice as we head into...
