Entrepreneurs often get stuck with creating content randomly and not seeing any real results, so in an effort to solve this problem they create “content buckets” or rotate between a handful of content types.

While that’s a step forward, it still doesn’t solve the problem of endlessly creating content that never moves the needle forward. You’ve just given them labels.

So how do you really make sure that the social media content you create grows your audience and your business? I’m sharing a more effective way to think about content creation.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about:

  • The 3 types of content you should be creating
  • The difference between promotional content and conversion content
  • Content ideas for your social media
  • A HUGE benefit to content type #3 that you don’t want to miss out on
