Get Better at Content Creation
Calling all content creators and those who manage content creators…
Part of being successful in any position involves constantly sharpening your skills. Technology is moving too fast to play the ‘set it and forget it’ game.
A great way to stay sharp is to develop habits. And yes, habits can be adopted for better content creation.
Here they are:
- Read: If you’re putting out relevant and up to date content, you need to have your ear to the ground. It’s crucial to know what’s going on in your industry in order to relate to your audience.
- Write: Wanna get better at writing? Write more. Carve out 15-20min a day and write free form. There are a ton of resources on the interwebs. One of our personal favorites is ‘On Writing‘ by Stephen King.
- Study: It’s critical to know your audience inside and out. How old are they? What makes them tick? What’s their job title? Take time to consistently learn about your audience.
- Be You: You’re not the only one producing content within your industry. Folks can find information anywhere. The goal is to offer a unique voice to keep them coming back.
- Know Your KPIs: Don’t overlook this one. It’s important to know why you’re creating the content (you’re creating).

The Idea Generator
Need some content ideas? ‘Answer the Public’ could be your new best friend. This slick web-based app aggregates data from Google and Bing with an easily digestible visual of what your audience is actually searching for.
The tool allows for a few free searches throughout the day, so use them sparingly.
What we like: All of the things including the ability to export the data as a csv.
What we don’t like: So far, so good.
Watch
Wings Anyone?
We’re spicing up the watch today (literally). Have you ever heard of ‘Hot Ones?’ It’s a YouTube series produced by First We Feast. The basic premise revolves around a celebrity being interviewed while eating varying levels of hot wings.
There are a ton of episodes to watch. We highly recommend.
