Having a place to see the progress, ownership, feedback and performance is where half the magic is as taught in the course. Apart from those, I would try to get other stakeholders involved in the content process, depending on the product or service we're offering.
After all, content is made to be consumed by those who buy our service, so it's logical to make those who provide that service be involved in our content process. Having spot reviews by developers, the product team, the research team and the data team will help us refine our content in ways we'd not guessed before.
A couple of reviews per week by other departments and diligent upkeep with their review and feedback will help content be more polished, personalized, and practical. This is regarding the quality and relevance of the content we create.
And coming to the process of getting it done, Notion worked great in my previous organization. Having a Kanban board helps visualise the progress and status of each task and makes it easier to managers get an overall idea on how things are progressing.
At my previous company, our content creation Excel sheet included a dedicated sheet for marking annual international holidays such as Christmas, Chinese New Year, and Thanksgiving, among others. When a special holiday was approaching, we would design holiday e-cards in advance and create a dedicated newsletter or blog post about the holiday. These posts typically included a promotion of our products. This approach helped to humanize our company and foster a closer connection with our customers.
I have to be honest and say that I need to take a step back and create a solid framework for my content. I've been rushing from piece to piece just to get something out, but what I really need is more planning and structure.
Knowing who the content is intended for and why it is being created is one thing I would do differently to enhance my content creation process. That will direct me to enhance my content creation process.
I believe the whole point of content creation is toward a targeted audience. Therefore to improve my content creation process. I would put up a platform where my targeted audience can freely criticize my content and possibly come up with new or original ways by which I can improve upon my content and it's delivery. And secondly, I would also do well to respond to every comment made by my targeted audience without bias. And then attempt to implement some of the best ideas.
This method I believe will not only improve my content delivery but also create a sense of warmth within my targeted audience. As they see me actively responding and interacting with them to create an altogether more engaging experience.
To improve my current process of content creation I would analyse Frequently Asked Questions along with expectations . Also by researching through surveys or sources about what the customers want to know,I could produce more reliable and consistent content.
Firstly, choose the concept for your content to make sure what you want to show with the readers. Secondly, create a plan and then list vital steps which assists your post,... Thirdly, edit and review your content then design the visualization for your content.
I have so many moving parts that just keeping up a tracker is difficult, but I know it's so important to get tabs on what stage the content is in. I am going to work on finding a solution that works for me long term
To create great content for digital marketing, understand your audience, provide quality and valuable content, maintain consistency, optimize for SEO, use visual appeal, tell engaging stories, be authentic, include interactive elements, distribute widely, and regularly analyze and adapt based on performance metrics.
For creating a good content onr must know it's audience Provide quality and valuable content maintain consistency Also, the SEO for optimisation should be used.
