As an entrepreneur, I know firsthand the challenges of attracting leads and finding paying customers. It’s easy to get frustrated with social media platforms when your posts aren’t getting the engagement or results you want. But the truth is, the problem often lies not with the platform itself, but with the content you’re putting out there.
I speak to entrepreneurs regularly who are ready to “bad talk” social media because they can’t seem to get business. When I audit their platforms, I often find the same red flags:
Mixing personal and professional content
Inconsistent, ad-hoc posting
Unclear messaging and visuals
Lack of clear calls-to-action
Difficulty determining what they’re selling
In 2024, there is a huge demand from users for high-value content that provides real value. And the good news is, content is incredibly versatile. Just about any marketing goal you set can be achieved, at least in part, through good content marketing.
So how do you create content consistently to start generating leads? Here are 3 tips:
The first step to creating content consistently is to have a clear strategy in place. Decide on your target audience, the types of content you’ll create, and the platforms you’ll share it on. Map out a content calendar so you always know what you’ll be posting and when. Having a plan will make the actual content creation process much easier.
One of the biggest challenges to creating content consistently is finding the time to do it. The solution? Batch your content creation. Set aside dedicated blocks of time, like a few hours one day per week, to create content for the entire week or month. This allows you to work efficiently and avoid the constant pressure of having to come up with something new every single day.
Another key to creating content consistently is to repurpose your best content across multiple platforms and formats. For example, take a blog post you wrote and turn it into a video, a podcast episode, a series of social media posts, and a lead magnet. This allows you to get more mileage out of the content you create and ensures you always have something fresh to share.
The bottom line is this: if you want to generate leads consistently, you need to create content consistently. It takes work, but by having a strategy, batching your creation process, and repurposing your best content, you can build an engaged audience and turn them into paying customers. So what are you waiting for? Start creating!
