## Transcript

content creators are almost guaranteed
to burn out at some point during their
career if you're an online marketer the
estimates are anywhere from 61 to 90
percent that you will experience burnout
as a content creator with some
statistics showing that 71 of content
creators have actually considered
quitting social media all together now
this isn't surprising to me because as a
content creator you're supposed to be
creating videos creating podcasts making
short form tick tocks reels stories
emailing your list and just generally
pumping out daily content across
multiple Platforms in order to
successfully run an online business and
over time that can really take a toll on
your mental health and well-being as
well as your excitement about what it is
that you do and I have been creating
content and building my business online
for the past six years alongside
homeschooling my children and posting
almost daily content for all of those
years so I know from first-hand
experience how to simplify this content
creation process and that's what I
decided to share with you in today's
video this is my content creation
simplification plan on how you can
create content each and every single
week and then repurpose that across
multiple platforms so you appear to be
in all the places all the time without
burning out so let's get into the
training one of the big things that I
find with content creators that really
creates a lot of stress for them is that
they're not getting a lot of reaction or
engagement from their content so they
don't feel like they know what to
produce for Their audience or that Their
audience is in a even interested in what
it is that they have to say and the
biggest reason behind this is that
they're creating information about what
their product is and what it does rather
than creating content around their
audience's pain points so if you are
going through and you're talking about
all the different ingredients in your
products all the different things you're
going to offer in your coaching program
but you are not a talking to your
audience's pain points it's likely that
you're just gonna get lost in the
shuffle online because people are being
inundated day in and day out on social
media with advertisements with people
trying to sell them things with lotions
potions and pills and unless they
actually feel understood they don't
really care what it is you have to offer
and sell so how do you create content
that actually gets right in to your
prospect or your leads head and make
them say
you are speaking directly to me and I
have got to find out what your solution
to my problem is well the first thing is
is you need to think about what are your
audience's pain points if you have to do
research on that then that's where you
want to begin but we really need to
understand our ideal customer and
understand our prospects so for this
example that I'm going to share with you
today to help you understand where do
you come up with these ideas how do you
research these things we are actually
going to use the example of weight loss
so let's say you have a product that
helps people with weight loss how do we
know what to talk about if we don't want
to talk about all the special
ingredients and all the different things
that this magic weight loss pill or
potion is going to do and rather we want
to talk about our audience well come on
let's head over to one of my favorite
tools so here we are on one of my
absolute favorite tools which is called
spyfu.com
and what I did was think about what are
some of the biggest problems or
struggles people have when they're
losing weight so one we could do you
know they want to lose weight but they
don't want to exercise they want to lose
weight but they don't want to give up
the foods they love or perhaps in this
example how do they lose weight like
what do I do to lose the weight have
they been struggling with it for a long
period of time and I come over to spyfu
and I type in the the search how to lose
weight and you can see this search has a
monthly volume of over 40
000 searches that means 40 000 times per
month people are typing these words into
the Google search algorithm now if you
are trying to blog on this it would be
very difficult it has a difficulty score
of 64. so I don't suggest you go out
there and start creating a weight loss
blog and start doing a bunch of articles
on how to lose weight but what I love
about spy poo is that it gives you 118
thousand questions that people are
asking around how to lose weight so we
have how to lose weight fast how many
calories should I lose should I eat to
lose weight how many calories to lose
weight how much can I lose in a month
how much water should I drink does water
help does apple cider vinegar help you
lose weight so all of these are
questions and you can see these search
volumes right over here these are
questions that people are actually
typing in looking for answers to these
problems
and this is the exact type of content
that you want to be creating so creating
content that leads with these questions
is going to make your ideal Prospect
your ideal customer say oh my gosh this
person knows exactly what I'm dealing
with now if you're looking for well how
do I actually create that content let's
take this one how to lose weight fast
and we head right over here to YouTube
type in how to lose weight fast okay
these are like not magic tools not magic
secrets this is accessible to all of you
and there are tons of videos on here
about losing weight fast fast for
teenagers how to lose weight fast how to
lose belly fat so these are all things
that people are looking for in fact if
we start typing in let me go back up
here
how to lose weight and we just start
typing those words into Google you can
see all the questions or I mean into
YouTube you can see all the questions
that people are asking about how to lose
weight at home uh for kids in three days
you know somebody's got a wedding coming
up you could do a whole video on how to
lose weight before your wedding before
your high school reunion whatever it is
and this is the type of information that
people are searching for and the type of
content to be creating that your
audience is going to be looking for and
then you can simply plug your products
at the end of it as a potential solution
for them to try so once it is that you
know what you want to sell all you need
to do is come up with the questions that
those people are asking and think about
different types of people right think
about demographics women do women need
to lose weight people who are over 40
people who are wanting to lose weight
but there may be vegetarians or you know
people who want to lose weight on the
paleo diet all these different types of
psychographics and demographics can
continue to help you come up with tons
and tons of content ideas so that you
never experience content creation
burnout from trying to create ideas that
will serve your audience and I can all
but guarantee you that if you start
posting more about your ideal customers
problems and struggles and challenges
you are going to get tons of engagement
on your content and a whole lot more
sales now once you know what type of
content to create how do you not get
burned out creating it right if you've
got to be on Facebook and Instagram and
Tick Tock and YouTube and emailing your
list and starting a podcast and doing
all these things how do you avoid that
burnout well my suggestion is that you
actually create one piece of pillar
content per week so it could be a longer
form video like I'm doing right here on
YouTube you could turn around and turn
this into a podcast if you didn't need
the visuals that I'm showing and then
once you have that longer form content
you could actually turn that into a blog
post you could email it out to your list
you could take the content that you're
creating in these videos and create a
bunch of little short videos that are
breaking this video apart or leading
people back to this pillar content video
you could take original quotes I love to
use the service temmi.com which can
transcribe my videos I'll go ahead and
put the link below it's like 25 cents a
minute to transcribe my videos and you
can pull original quotes from that post
those things on social media share your
pillar content videos on social media if
you haven't figured out by now I highly
suggest that your content create Nation
really revolves around video because
that is the fastest way to build no like
and trust with your audience and it's
really what a lot of people are
searching for people don't have time and
they don't necessarily want to read
through a long ebook or long posts on
social media but they will click a video
and just listen to it in the background
or turn it up to double speed and so
you're going to get a lot more
engagement a lot more consumption of
your content if you do it in video form
and then you can break it apart and
spread it out to all these different
platforms
one of my other favorite tools is
actually called metrocool I'll put that
one below as well and metropool allows
you to pre-schedule and post things to
multiple social media platforms so a lot
of times I'll spend a day batching all
of my content scheduling it all in
metrical and then I can be off
homeschooling my children while my
content is posting day in and day out
onto all the different social media
platforms and I never have to get burned
out now they do have a free plan and I
think it's like up to 30 posts per month
for free but I go for the premium paid
plan because I want to post to all the
platforms without having to worry about
it or think about it and just get it all
scheduled and done with now if you've
been creating pillar content for a while
or you've been a content creator for a
while and you're still not getting
traction on your posts it might be that
you don't have the Right audience and if
you don't have an audience that is
looking to you for health and wellness
and weight loss then doesn't matter how
great that content is you're not going
to get the traction so make sure that in
addition to creating really really
valuable content for your ideal
customers that you actually have those
customers seeing them and how do you go
and find those people well again go back
to YouTube and search for the top
influencers in your Niche so let's say
you're in the keto space maybe you
follow Dr Berg and you can go ahead and
you can head on over to his Facebook
page and you can go and see all the
people that are following him or over on
his Instagram profile if you're there in
that platform as well and you want to go
engage with those people you want to
follow those people you want to get into
keto Facebook groups and start hanging
out and posting valuable content in
there that is going to be beneficial to
that audience because what's going to
happen they're going to come over to
your Facebook page or your Instagram
account or get on your email list or
your YouTube channel and they're going
to start checking out all the
information and content that you have to
offer because you're interacting with
them and you're peaking their curiosity
and you're providing interesting
educational and valuable things inside
of those groups inside of those
communities and then you are going to
build that audience of your ideal
clients and customers and when you're
doing that and you're putting out
valuable content you are going to be
making continuous sales in your business
and when you're making money in your
business and when you have a plan for
your content you're far less likely to
experience content creator burnout so I
hope this video was a helpful to you
today go out there do some research on
what it is that your audience is looking
for stick to a pillar content or week
content plan and I'll see you in the
next video
