How To Create Your Content Pipeline?

So, you write a blog, create content? Have you ever been diagnosed with writer’s block? Probably, one in a zillion chance, that you’d say no.

Then how do you as a content curator rid yourself of this affliction?

In my state of acute writing fatigue, I did some research around ways to combat this condition and here I present my (limited) experience.

I ideate around the following areas:

What would be of interest to my target reader/reader profile?

Reports/Studies: Has any recent industry study/report published any significant/impactful findings that might be pertinent to your industry? Do you have an opinion/insight/recommendation to offer?

Events/conferences: Are there any events that I have attended/are upcoming, which might interest readers? Can I provide some insights to others?

Customers: What are your customers interested in? Are there any customer case studies that you’d like to share? Is there any customer feedback that you’d like to highlight? If yes, blog away!

Industry Trends: Though I’d like to steer clear of “to watch out for Trends” type articles, these seem to be “trend”-ing.

How-To Guides: Did you find a new use case for a product feature? A quicker shorter way to a complicated workflow for your customer? Develop “How-To” guides for your readers, and disseminate them widely.

Multi-purpose content: So, you publish content, but ever thought of re-purposing content? For more ideas on repurposing content, read this brilliant article by Hubspot at http://blog.hubspot.com/insiders/repurpose-content. Increase the shelf life of your content by repurposing it.

Checklist: Questions to Ask Before Starting a Content Writing Project

Image
  Remember the time when you went back and forth with the client on a content writing project? Remember the anxiety? Remember the stress? Well, in retrospect, do you wish you had done anything different? More often than not, content writers often say that asking more questions helps. Questions drive alignment, identify points of friction and give you guard-rails alongside which you operate. Of course, you shouldn’t hit the client with a 100-question questionnaire right away, what you could do is identify which of the following are the must-asks for your project. Or you could also do a progressive build up. Asking questions at every interaction, and using it to shape up your content marketing project. In that way, you will receive all the information that you need, without overloading the client with too many questions right at the start of the engagement. So what are those list of questions that you should ask? 1. Are there any brand / company guidelines? Every organization has its own

And creating content needs time and efforts. A well-researched and written article could take a week [or more / less]. Not to mention distributing that content on an array of ever-multiplying channels. Phew! Repurposing your content optimizes your content marketing efforts. So what is content repurposing? It’s a technique that maximizes your content marketing efforts by repackaging your content into as many formats across as many channels as possible. Why should you think of repurposing your content? Not all readers are equal – and neither are their content consumption habits. So repurposing your content helps you in reaching out to as wide an audience as possible. Exposure : Your buyer personas may not be uniform in their preference for
