Social Media Goals: A Simple Definition

Defining Your Content With Your Monthly Theme

Want to get more work done and more quickly?

Constantly having to change hats and not having a plan really does stop the work that is fresh on your mind.

Create Your Social Media Content Strategy so you can use it over and over in:

  • Your blog
  • YouTube
  • Facebook Profile & Page Posts, and Group
  • Pinterest
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn
  • Landing Page
  • Products – Freebies and Paid Offers
  • Marketing 
  • AND…all of this can be personalized for your email list.

Now you’ll have a lot of content to breakdown and

use in many different ways.

 

Content strategies are critical for marketing success on social media and in your business.

But what exactly are content strategy themes, and how effective are they?

How about thinking about content strategy themes?

As buckets of ideal topics that your niche loves and that you are in business to share, now you have a guide for creating and planning your content.

I know (really well!) that when you can sit, stay focused, and finish a task as you have planned, you feel great about it and get instant gratification!

Because when your content is up and ready, you’re done and good to move on. 

But the interruptions seem intentional because suddenly you remember something, like ‘uh-oh’ I need to post in my group, page, Instagram, etc., taking time away from your planned project.

When you have a system you follow, you can take a look at it being all done for the day, week, and even working into the month of growing your business, and it feels like such a release of the ‘have tos’ as you’re getting it done!

You are making life and business more fun!

You can also get your pieces of content ready to go based on a theme.

  • Content marketing with a themed plan means that you can easily (read that as quickly) create and promote your business on several social media platforms, including blogging.

Content strategies are for more than just blogs, websites, and product descriptions.

BUT…What are Content Strategy Themes for and do they work?

Why Use Audio And Video Messages

Are You Missing Out?

Sharing content is great, but if you’re relying solely on the written word and static images, you’re missing out on chances to build trust with your potential and existing customers. We are social creatures created to pay attention to audible and visual clues to help us get to know someone better. There’s power in using audio and video. They are great tools that will generate trust like nothing else.Helping you connect with your audience and help them feel the emotion.

What do you think your podcast could/would do for your brand when you dream big?

You’ll always focus on creating audience-appealing content. Podcasting and audience appeal is an excellent way to increase your conversions!

I know you’ve heard that your audience has to know, like, and trust you before they will consider becoming paying customers. They get to know you through your written content and social media presence. 

  • They may like what you have to offer and what you’re sharing and may even be impressed by your expertise. But earning enough trust to pull out that wallet and make a purchase from you can be tricky. That’s where your face and your voice come in.

We pick up many clues when we hear someone’s voice and even more when we see them speak. 

That’s why audio and video messages are so important in your marketing. Don’t be afraid to use them. 

     Start with audio if a video is intimidating. You can start your own podcast or offer to become a guest on other people’s episodes. Read more →

In business, consistency and following through create confidence in you and your daily routines.

 

We often tell people they don’t have to be perfect to be a great leader, but some elements must be on par when building trust.

  • Consistency allows you to establish outreach and trust and provide services effectively and profitably.
  • Being consistent helps you achieve your goals, establish habits, and helps to show others that you are trustworthy.
  • Being consistent helps to build habits you want to grow.

Consistency in your daily work helps you succeed in your business, similar to how consistency in physical exercise keeps you in shape.

  • Your constant show of honesty and integrity does earn others’ trust and respect. That is what you like and want!
  • This means that your honesty and integrity influence the way others see and trust you.
  • Take time to listen to them and engage. Helping to encourage others in doing great things.
  • Showing your interest does help inspire people to step up.
  • Keeping your promises shows others that you respect them and also what you expect of them.
    • They are more likely to treat you respectfully, developing additional confidence Read more →

What is the function of having a clear sales message?

Have you checked your informational content messaging to ensure you share what your audience is searching for and want to see?

How is your content and messaging influencing your audience to want more?

  • Take a minute to fine-tune and modify to ensure each piece of your sales funnel is on point. I know, that’s easier stated than done.
  • It can be tough to objectively check your creations and see what’s functioning and what isn’t.
    • When creating your sales page or a whole sales funnel, it’s always excellent to double-check your data.
      • Ex: Is your ideal audience engaging, and are you seeing conversions as anticipated? Otherwise, there’s something off.
    • See if you can determine what it is. Make your adjustments and examine once again. Did the numbers improve? Make notes of any adjustments and develop your messaging based on what seems more attractive to your audience.
  • One option is to have somebody audit your content sales messages. Preferably this will be someone who represents your perfect target market. Locate a good friend, coworker, or perhaps an existing customer you have a relationship with to check through it and provide feedback.
    • What made good sense?
    • What didn’t make good sense?
    • Look for anything in your content that made them not want to purchase or even sign up for your free offer.

Can you add value to key marketing content for your audience and attract them to your blog and other social media sites naturally as you create more of what they want?

As I’ve said before…

In Sell the Process Not a Promise, your goal is to create and promote a consistent flow of great content. Focused on the experience that your readers will have.

My real question to you then is

Do you know what content message marketing is in simple words?

Content message marketing is more than copywriting and images. Your message of content will entertain, educate, and persuade.

This is what content-driven marketing is, and it’s what you do:

You’ve heard it before…Content marketing to influence your ideal audience is the fuel to social media.

For that reason…

Marketers are always thinking about how to get their ideal clients to engage with their content online.

Your audience can’t know what you do and how you can solve their problems until…

You know your audience so well that you can offer practical solutions. because you understand what is driving them.

  • That means you need to explore what’s in their heart, not just their head.
  • Walk in their shoes and get more curious about the solutions you could offer.

Content marketing to influence engagement is you having a conversation about the real outcomes they would like to see.

content-marketing-to-influence engagement

As it turns out…

When you have clarity about what you really sell and the changes in life or business that you offer and your audience wants, then you’ll be clearer in explaining what you have to offer.

  • Now you’ll hone your content to who is really your market.

The audience that you can make a difference with is why you use content marketing to influence engagement.

Video Transcript:

Let’s talk about how you can repurpose content, that you’ve published previously.

Because…

How many hundreds of posts have you written? How many videos have you recorded?

Why Not Repurpose Content of Your Popular Posts?  

Since you’ve already put a lot of thought, research, and time into those pieces of content…

Why not get the most return on your investment?

  • You could get more mileage out of your popular blog and other social media content by repurposing.

You’ll love the results…

But what does it mean to repurpose content?

⟾ Imagine taking your content, recycling it, and fine-tuning it to a new content plan or format. From your blog post to social media and back.

  • As an example: taking an e-Book and making it into a video.
  • Or taking an e-Book and using parts of it as content to introduce your audience to your e-book download.
  • For me, I’ve also been looking back at my old blog posts and updating them to share again.
  • Also re-using images from all my content and sharing again or in different places.
