How do you optimize your content creation?
Build the right content team with a focus on testing and learning. A solid content team will help to balance your content quality with frequency. And, a strong content team will:
𝟏. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 – Focus on researching topics, keywords, and hashtags that will place you at the top in searches with your target audience.
𝟐. 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 – As your business scales, you will not have time to create content on your own and not everyone will understand your tone of voice. It is essential for your content team to embody your message, reflect your brand values, and be aligned with your North Star.
𝟑. 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Your brand has loads of interesting ideas to help solve the pain points with your target audience. The content plan must consistently deliver several posts per week. Creating random posts is not wise because it will not support engagement. Remember, the purpose of content marketing is to engage your audience by supporting them with an education along the consideration path, answering their questions, and creating value.
𝟒. 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 – Consistency is a critical factor in content marketing. Scheduling posts on days and times with maximum engagement from your audience support momentum. At all times, you should be learning from current posts, analyzing the performance of past posts, and applying what you’re learning to your next series.
𝟓. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 – Remember that not every post will be seen by your audience. While fresh content is important, quality posts from the past that had good traction may be equally relevant today and can boost even more traction the second time around. Identifying the right evergreen content to repost as part of your strategy may still add value for your audience.
The right content team is key to optimizing your social engagement strategy. Do you have the right team?
