The Un-Copywriters Guide To Content Creation.
When it comes to offering prospects and customers a chance to ‘get to know you’, content marketing is the name of the game. But for many, creating content – writing blogs, running webinars, writing emails – is time consuming, expensive and hit and miss.
However, James Tuckerman, founder of entrepreneurial online magazine Anthill Online, has an ingenious method for creating content on the run. I recently interviewed him for an episode of “Secrets of Aussie Online Entrepreneurs”, and he shared with me this amazing nugget of wisdom that will have you creating content in a jiffy – without even picking up a pen!
Hold on tight, this will blow you away. The simplicity of it, yet the sheer efficiency of it is so impressive.
Here’s what he does:
- He interviews an SME (subject matter expert)
- He records a conversation on his smartphone using the ‘voice memo’ function. (You can download it from the App Store for free).
- He sends the recording to get transcribed.
- That transcription becomes a series of blogs.
- The blogs become “Cheat Sheets”.
- The “Cheat Sheets” become Infographics.
- The blogs and infographics become an eBook.
- The eBook becomes an online mini-course.
- The online mini-course becomes a webinar series.
- The webinar series gets put on iTunes as a podcast.
Just slice and dice! What an awesome way to create great content instantly!
