The next step is to choose which topics interest you from the prompt list above and then outline a post (or two or three) about them.
Make sure to choose ideas that are consistent with your content pillars – these are a set of themes or topics that you can use to create posts. (If you don’t have content pillars, now is a good time to create them).
The content pillars that you choose should encompass and be consistent with your brand’s purpose, values, tone of voice, positioning and goals.
As you write your posts, offer practical advice, write in short paragraphs, and tell stories from your own life when you can.
Most of all, be helpful and relatable. And be YOU!
The idea is to stay top of mind of with clients and prospects with helpful content where you can provide your unique perspective.
