When a lot of thoughtleaders create content, 📝
Like blog posts, videos, books, keynotes, or workshops,
they usually sit down with a blank page. 📖
That can lead to a lot of wasted time!
As content creators, blank pages don’t hold our attention.
Instead of leaping 🦘 onto a topic and excitedly framing 🖼️ your ideas,
you stare at the emptiness, struggling to fill it.
The best way to build your content is to create a solid editorial plan.
🥇 Outline themes you want to focus on.
🥈 Create a list of topics you want to explore.
🥉 Keep an archive of the strongest pieces of your content.
Once you’ve made this list (or excel sheet),
You can go back to it whenever you need
To create a blog or other piece of content.
You’ll know what you want to talk about,
And you’ll have a bunch of topics ready to start!
That’s called having an editorial plan!
End the tyranny of the blank page.
Take a long, hard look at your content,
and concentrate on its strongest themes.
That’s how you turn out strong, focused assets in the least amount of time. ⏳
