Content marketing is a fantastic way to grow authority, spread the word about your business, and build great relationships with your audience, but you don’t want to be creating content just to create content.

To preserve your time, energy and your audience's attention, your content should be strategic and thought out, especially on social media. Today we’re joined by Tara McMullin who’s sharing an intentional method of creating content that you feel pride in and enjoy making, while also serving your audience and appeasing the algorithm.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:

  • What epistemological method is and applying it to your business
  • An intentional repurposing strategy
  • How to use Notion for content management
  • Your role once you shift away from one on one services
  • Finding a balance between your creativity and the algorithm

Memorable Quotes:

  • “How do I make something good, and make it so much better- if not great?”
  • “Instead of looking at the rules as the things I have to conform to, I look at them as creative constraints that guide me…”
  • “I’ll never be the kind of person who does what the algorithm tells me to do, but I also don’t want to be the person who ignores the algorithm. What does the algorithm know that I don’t know?”
  • “It’s not about gaming the algorithm, it’s about learning what the algorithm has to teach me.”
  • “I try to create space for being social with the content that I put out.”
