Let’s Talk About Creating Content
Who Struggles with Creating Content?
Source: http://bit.ly/1e7xXlK
Everyone Knows Content is King
Because It’s What Consumers Want
• Nearly 90% of global online consumers want
brands to share content online
• 70% of consumers prefer getting to know a
company via content marketing such as
sponsored articles rather than ads
Source: http://huff.to/1gTic9G
And They Make It Sound So Easy
So You Give It a Try
But This Usually Happens
Because It’s Easier Said Than Done
21% of marketers struggle with producing enough content
Maybe It’s Time You Found a Solution
Let Me Introduce You To Trello
Why Trello?
• Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes
your projects into boards. In one glance it tells
you what's being worked on, who's working
on what, and where something is in a process.
• It provides structure
• It makes planning and production process
simple.
• It helps you stay organized
The Trello Process and Workflow
Here’s How To Use It for Creating
Content
Create a Board
Identify the Steps in the Process
That Was The Easy Part
It’s Time to Start Thinking
Put Your Ideas into a Card
7 Key Elements Your Card Needs
Let’s Review Them!
#1: Target a Persona
• Gender
• Family Life
• Education
• Income
• Location
• Technology
• Hobbies
• Likes
• Influencers
• Online Behaviors
• Obstacles
#2: Determine the Stage Sales in the
Funnel
• Discovery/Awareness
• Trigger/Interest
• Search
• Close/Buy
• Stay/Referral
#3: Find Your Keyword
#4: What Questions are You Trying to
Answer with this Content
• Keep in mind your
personas
• Remember your stage
in the sales funnel
• Consider creating a
messaging map
#5: The Idea
• Provide the high-level details
of your idea
• Consider how this piece of
content is differentiated
• How does this speak to your
persona?
• Discuss it with your team. Be
open to input.
#6: Imagery
• Consider your creative process
- Provide direction for your creative team
• Does the content match the creative?
- Creative follows content not the other way around
• Keep it legal
- Try search.creativecommons.org
#7: Call to Action
• Remember your stage in
the sales funnel
• Create urgency
• Indicate a specific action
• Make it stand out
Put It All Together
Trello Features to Use
Move the Card Throughout the
Process
Trello Makes the Content Production
Process Efficient
But It’s Still Up to You to Do the Work
Don’t Be Like…
Make a Goal and Get Started
Thank You
