2. If you are using Social Media
to grow your business

3. then content creation should be a
big part of your strategy.

4. Content marketing is
important with Social Media

5. because it helps you establish
yourself as someone people can get
to know, like, and trust.

6. Soon they will start spreading the
word about all your great ideas.

7. Without content marketing you don't
really have a platform to build your
audience with.

8. The problem we all struggle with is
how to keep turning out good
articles for our audience regularly.

9. Here are 4 tips you can start using
today to avoid this problem once
and for all.

10. 1. Create a simple content calendar

11. The first (and most important) thing
you can do is create a simple
content calendar for yourself.

12. It doesn't need to be fancy.

13. In fact I just have a note called
"Content Calendar" in Evernote.

14. If you don't know what Evernote is
go check it out.

15. It basically just lets you store your
notes and ideas.

16. Then you can find them later.

17. Very Simple and Easy.

18. I just love it.

19. What is a content calendar?

20. It is just a way for you to plan out in
advance what you will be writing
about in the future.

21. I block some time and sit down to
brainstorm on new articles ideas for
1 or 2 months in advance.

22. I put a date with the
article title next to it.

23. That's it!

24. In fact this is how I came up for the
idea of this very article you are
reading.

25. I actually had it on my content
calendar for over a month now.

26. Here is what my content calendar
looked like for March 2015:

27. Here is what my content calendar
looked like for March 2015:
3/11/2015 - Facebook Ads Case Study - Lead Generation Part 1
3/18/2015 - Facebook Ads Case Study - Part 2
3/25/2015 - Facebook ads part 3
4/1/2015 - Facebook ads part 4

28. I didn't have to sit and think
"What do I want to write about this
week?"

29. no no no..
I already knew it well in advance.

30. Creating a content calendar is the
simplest thing you can do

31. to avoid getting writer’s block when
you sit down to create your next
content marketing masterpiece.

32. 2. Choose a Monthly "Theme"

33. Picking a monthly Theme for your
content can make things easier too.

34. You will find you probably have a lot
to say on a particular topic.

35. You can probably break those ideas
into 3 or 4 different articles.

36. So do that!

37. Right now my monthly theme is
content creation for social media.

38. I have a lot to say about it
(since I actually do it).

39. You can see an earlier video

40. where I talk about using tools to
keep your social media streams
updated with fresh interesting
content for your audience.

41. My next article will be about
repurposing your content to get
more mileage out of it.

42. All these articles follow the same
theme of content creation.

43. 3. Tie Articles Together with teasers

44. One nice thing about having a
content calendar and following
"themes"

45. is that you can finally start tying
articles together.

46. Since you already know what you
will be writing about next week
(from your content calendar)

47. you can add a teaser
to this week's article.

48. It gives your audience a
taste of what's to come.

49. They know what to expect
from you in advance.

50. Plus it will flow a lot more naturally
because the articles are following a
consistent theme.

51. 4. Create a Simple System for
yourself

52. Now that you already know what to
write about in advance

53. you shouldn't be suffering from
writer's block anymore.

54. The final step is to just develop a
simple content creation system for
yourself.

55. Mine looks like this:

56. Monday:
Create a rough-draft of your article.
No proofreading.
Just get your thoughts on paper.
Start with a basic outline

57. Tuesday:
Proof read it

58. Wednesday:
Final proof read and post to blog.
Add Pictures.

59. Now you know that every Monday

60. you need to create a rough draft of
the next article on your content
calendar.

61. You don't need to proof read it.

62. Just brain dump your ideas.

63. It just requires a lot less thinking.

64. You will produce
higher quality content.

65. As a bonus you can work ahead.

66. Got a vacation coming up?

67. no problem.

68. You should already know
(from your content calendar)
what you will be writing.

69. Just double up the work one week
and you can take a week off.

70. Pre-schedule your articles to go out
in advance and you are all set.

71. Hopefully I sold you on using a
content calendar, picking a theme,
and creating a simple content
system for yourself.

72. It will make a huge difference in the
amount of thinking and stress you
go through

73. when trying to think up that next
killer article

74. that will get lots of shares and
retweets across the social media
landscape.
