KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Start Simple and Focused: When beginning with social media, it's beneficial to concentrate on one platform to build your skills and audience. This approach allows for more effective content creation and engagement without spreading yourself too thin.

💡 Embrace Imperfection: Accept that early content may not be perfect. The content creation journey involves trial and error, and getting comfortable with sharing your voice will lead to improvement over time.

💡 Leverage Automation and Assistance: As your content production grows, consider hiring virtual assistants or using automation tools to handle repetitive tasks. This delegation allows you to focus on creating quality content and developing your business further.

💡 Utilise AI for Content Ideas: ChatGPT can help generate content ideas and draft posts or blog entries. This can alleviate the pressure of coming up with topics and help overcome writer's block.

💡 Plan Ahead for Consistency: Establish a content calendar and aim to work several weeks in advance. This proactive approach ensures that you maintain a consistent output, even during busy periods or holidays, and helps manage your content production pipeline effectively.

BEST MOMENTS

06:04 - 💬 “What allowed me to get more consistent, to become better at putting posts out there that got engagement, that didn't take me hours and hours to create, was actually just doing it.”

09:14 - 💬 “When you get started, it's so easy for me to say, just go and do it, but just go and do it.”

19:49 - 💬 “You should start systemising your content creation as soon as you start creating content. Because there is so much that we don't need to do as content creators. If you can start getting into the habit of involving other people in the production and the promotion of your content as early as possible, it allows you to have more time to A- create better content and B- think about what else you should and could be doing.”

23:54 - 💬 “The biggest hurdle is getting out of your own way, overcoming your own fears of looking stupid or looking silly in front of your friends and family who's going to read your posts.”
