The 5-Minute Content Creation FRAMEWORK That Anyone Can Use
Are you ever faced after one day writing the second day you are blank?
Struggling with content ideas.
Writing unconsciously, not getting the engagement that you want.
Not able to reach the goal, not able to find where I am doing wrong.
And your content creation looks like writing editing and publishing.
If you are also in this vicious circle then this framework going to help you get out of this circle.
5 Steps → Content Creation Framework
Struggling with Content Ideas: FIRST
This is my favorite step because I struggle a lot to not be able to find content ideas.
And you are not alone.
What mistake I made was I always wanted to create completely new original content on the internet.
This is a myth. If you running behind originality
I learned too late this lesson.
If you are also new in the content creation journey then I guarantee you that after posting 10–15 content pieces you will going to suffer and feel a shortage of content ideas.
The most obvious question that comes to mind is:
- I have time
- I also want to write
- But what should I write?
A 3-step process that never lets me struggle to find content ideas:
- In your niche find your top competitor see their best-performing content take ideas from that(If you don’t have ideas then knock on your competitor's door to get them).
- Public sites are good if you don’t have an audience base best for me is Answer the Public but Quora and Google FAQ is also good option.
- Create an avatar of your audience in mind and observe what problem that avatar faces, put your foot in their shoes, and what type of content they need(this will work if you know your audience).
Originality is a myth.
Observe what your audience wants.
See your competitor's comment section.
What your competitor is doing and replicate it if your mind is not working but don’t sit with an empty hand.
Use your GOAL to know your Content Need: SECOND
If you know my goal is selling informational products then automatically you will be going to start creating content around your product benefit, how it helps, why people need it, what problem it solves all the stuff.
If you know my goal is to get a client then you start creating content according to your client's need, what problem your client facing, and what type of content you create that helps your client.
The thing is simple if you know your goal why I am creating content then you don’t need to see your neighbour's house for what to make today.
Always write your goal and one thing that follows I always create 3 goals a LONG TERM(more than 1 year long), SHORT TERM(3 or 6 months long), and MINUTE TERM(week or one month long).
Goal is important.
“Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.” — John Dewey
When your goal is clear you can start seeing speed in your creation.
CLARITY first, SPEED second.
What is your SOP: THIRD
SOP is good If so many people working on a single content you can use Trello or Notion.
But I writing this article for a one-man army so I need to take a U-turn.
If you handling everything from ideas generation to posting then always keep your SOP in a small diary(or single page).
Before starting your creation process. See that page and pass your content through every single step that you write on that page.
You can add many according to your need but in my diary, I have only 5 most important.
My SOP looks like this:
- First, write the title then the subheading then the detail body
- Minimum 2-minute reads/ 600 words
- 30 minute research before writing
- After the third draft hit publish
- 2 images minimum
This is my SOP that all my medium articles go through.
You can create your own after reading this and create your own SOP.
4 Footsteps Need to Change in Content WORKFLOW: FOURTH
This thing I learned in a paid course and I am very shocked to see How I make this mistake every day.
Actually what my content workflow is:
Idea come(make title).
- Write
- Edit
- Publish
But what I learned in the course and this is really so astonishing for me.
Now my content workflow looks like this:
- Outline(title + target audience)
- First draft
- Editing
- Content designing and formatting
- Final draft(always take 2 draft)
- Publish
Take time to hit the publish button daily.
Writing or creating content is important but a blueprint is more important which takes more time.
