@themelodyh
You are always one great piece of content
away from getting your life changed.
What type of content are you creating now?
Setting up a Content Strategy
Who are you talking to?
What are you talking about?
Which platform are you using to talk to them?
When are you talking to them?
How often are you talking to them?
WHY?
The key to content marketing is creating
value.
To entertain, inform and not selling.
VIDEO: The story is everything.

Make your customer the hero.
Pixar Pitch
Pixar Pitch Example - Finding Nemo
1. Once upon a time there was … a widowed fish,
named Marlin, who was extremely protective of his
only son, Nemo.
2. Every day … Marlin warned Nemo of the ocean’s
dangers and implored him not to swim far away.
3. One day … in an act of defiance, Nemo ignores
his father’s warnings and swims into the open
water.
4. Because of that … he is captured by a diver and
ends up in the fish tank of a dentist in Sydney.
5. Because of that … Marlin sets off on a journey to
recover Nemo, enlisting the help of other sea
creatures along the way.
6. Until finally … Marlin and Nemo find each other,
reunite and learn that love depends on trust.
Pixar Pitch Example - Finding Nemo
1. Once upon a time there was …
2. Every day …
3. One day …
4. Because of that …
5. Because of that …
6. Until finally …
Use the Pixar Pitch to write your customer’s
heroic journey.
Bonus Tip:
If you are talking to your audience, use easy
to understand language.

How do you manage the content
after it’s published?
My personal content formula:
25% Idea and Writing Headline
25% Producing the Content
50% Promotions, Marketing, SEO, Interaction
50% Talking 50% Listening
Let’s find some topics to write about:
Use Buzzsumo to find the most popular posts
and generate content ideas.
Next Step: Write 10 Blog Headlines
Your Content Marketing Calendar
Your Promotion Calendar
How often should I produce content?
Consistency is key, so as often as you can be
consistent.
