Introduction

The Big, Bold Promise

The lack of content ideas is just a symptom of a larger problem in hand. You need to treat the underlying problem, not the symptom.

The problem didn’t that you have no content ideas or you don’t know what to create. The problem is that you don’t have a strategy or system for coming up with content ideas.

There are 3 telltale signs you’re in desperate need of a blog content plan.

  1. You never know what to write
  2. You chase after content trends
  3. Your content doesn’t have a strong link to the products or services you offer

Whatever your goals are, your content has to contribute to inching the reader forward in the direction of your end goal. And this is something that you may be sorely missing.

What exactly is content strategy?

“A content strategy is “a plan for building an audience by publishing, maintaining, and spreading frequent and consistent content that educates, entertains, or inspires to turn strangers into fans and fans into customers.” — Demian Farnworth, chief content writer at Copyblogger

What are the benefits of a solid content strategy

  • SEO
  • Traffic
  • Sponsorship opportunities
  • Sales
  • List growth

Intangible Benefits of a Content Strategy Awareness

  • Awareness
  • Respect and Adoration
  • Mindshare leading to indirect sales
  • Positioning Yourself as a Thought Leader or Expert

How the one-hour content plan works?

You combine content GPS and EOG(expert-offer-goal) methods to plan your content ahead.

You also use ADDE (Attribute-Markers-Do’ s-Dont’s-Expressions) Formula.

In the last two sections, you will discover strategies to promote your content and tools to help you make the process easier.
