Content Pillars

  • What do you want people to associate your brand with? Keep to 1 - 3 pillars to prevent confusion
  • Pillars should support your overall brand and messaging
  • Pillars should be tied back to your offers (products and services)

Distribution Channels

Focus on:

  • 1 long-form channel (YouTube, blog, etc.)
  • at least 1 short-form channel (Twitter, Tiktok, etc.)

Focus on long-form content first. Make it well-thought-out and valuable to your audience. Why:

  • Drives content & SEO strategy
  • Easier to "cut it up" into short-form content, compared to creating many pieces of short-form content

Topic Ideas

Some sources:

  • Answer The Public
  • TubeBuddy (for YouTube)
  • Noticing current conversations on Quora, Reddit, Twitter, etc.

As you find ideas and topics, think about:

  • Are any of these relevant to your brand?
  • How can you reframe this from your perspective?
  • How can you add value to the conversation?

Strategies VS Tactics

Strategies: Long-term decisions like planning your content calendar

Tactics: Short-term decisions like optimizing content formats for the algorithm

  • Nail your strategies first, then use them to inform your tactics.
  • Don't force strategies or tactics if you/your audience doesn't like it

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
