3 Tips for Creating (Good!) Content Fast - Classy Career Girl

3 Tips for Creating (Good!) Content Fast I get a lot of questions about how to create content fast. I know it is easy to get overwhelmed with the content creation process. So today, I am sharing my tips for creating good content fast. I have been writing and creating content at the Classy Career Girl for eight years consistently. Over the years, I have had to learn how to do it fast because I have a lot of other responsibilities and things going on in my life. But, creating fast content doesnt mean just publishing to publish. You also need to create content people will read; it is definitely a balance. How to Create Content Fast My content isnt solely my revenue generator, I have a lot of other things like courses and membership sites and webinars that I need to focus on to actually bring in an income here at Classy Career Girl. But I know the way to grow your business online is by becoming an expert in a topic and delivering consistent content that provides value and helps people. So doing my blog and podcast in a way kind of my side hustle. I treat it as such and thats why I have a limited time to create content. Here is how I do it! 1) Document; Dont Create   One of the best tips I learned from  Gary Vaynerchuk and it makes everything so much easier! He suggests document;  don’t create. This means creating content around what you are learning. You don’t have to be an expert. Here are a few examples where I have documented my journey over the last 8 years. Interview experts. Example:  How to Get A Job Offer Read books. Listen to podcasts. Take courses. Share what you learn. Example: Book Review Give yourself challenges and create content as accountability for yourself. Example: My Networking Challenge  and  Balance Heath Challenge: 60 Days of Insanity   Look at your life. What are you doing that other people want to know how to do? Examples: How to Juggle Work and School and How I Paid off 80,000 of Debt in 18 Months.   Use Guest Posters. Example: Guest Posting Guidelines and How to Beat Brain Fog and Crush Cravings at Work.     Share what you use for your processes: Example: Social Media calendar Ask your audience. Do polls and publish the results in a blog post or talk about them in a podcast.   2) Batch Your Content Limit Your Time   Content creation isn’t a revenue producing in the short term. We need to do it to start building trust and relationships, but writing a blog post isn’t going to generate direct revenue. We need to have set times to batch content creation so it doesn’t impact our revenue generating tasks. Don’t do all of these! Just pick one. The key is batching here and giving yourself a limited time. Schedule one hour to schedule your FB group posts or Instagram posts for the week. (I do this Sunday night). Schedule one day of interviews using Calendly. You can record up to 6 interviews per day and you have 6 weeks of content done! Spend two hours writing your blogs and scheduling them for the week over the weekend.   Create 10 minute how-to or behind the scenes videos. Prepare scripts ahead of time. Get yourself ready, set up the video camera and knock out 6 short videos in half a day! That’s 6 weeks of videos done! Record 2-minute audios to go out weekly to your audience. Block out the time and go to a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Record up to 25 audios in a day! That’s 6 weeks of content right there! Outline the content for 6 workbooks or checklists in one day. Send all of them to a virtual assistant or graphic designer to make them look pretty. Now, you have 6 potential lead magnets done! If you absolutely cannot batch content ahead and hate planning, just host live QAs. Set them up on your calendar so your audience looks forward to them. Create topics for the QAs and you can host them weekly or monthly. Schedule them out the next 6 weeks and you are all ready to go! 3) Make Use of Content You Already Have   Here is the thing; you don’t have to be everywhere and do it all. (Ex: IGTV this week, decreasing podcast episodes to one per week while I am on maternity leave. Instead, make use of the content you already have. Here is how to do just that.   Recycle content that does well. For example, I recycled our top 15 podcast episodes while I was in New Zealand. You can also find your top performing Instagram posts and post them again. Rework content that does well: Have a popular podcast? Write a blog post about the same topic. You can also  take content from interviews as I did here in 100 Best Pieces of Career Advice.     Share other people’s content:  This works particularly well on social, like Facebook/Pinterest. Share other people’s viral content and ask your audience what they think.   Get into a schedule:  This will help you be so much more effective! Set Your Content Mindset It’s less about creating the content and more about getting people to view the content. Even if you create it, they aren’t just going to come. Spend as much time interacting, networking, and engaging with your audience as you do creating content. It’s just as important to engage with your people as it is to create content.

Time moves quickly, especially if we aren’t taking a breath to review our career situation and see if it is meeting our needs. I get it â€" life is complicated. Mine certainly is. We have our careers, our families, our friends, our hobbies, and our lives. We can sometimes go from thing to thing to thing throughout the day during the week. Then on the weekends, we take the time to decompress and then we are back at it again. Career fulfillment impacts overall happiness Life can be busy. However, as busy as it is, make sure you take the time to conduct a career self assessment. Being fulfilled in your career has a direct impact on how fulfilled you are in spending time with your family or your community. There is a ripple effect. If you don’t feel you have time to spend to reflect on how your career is meeting your needs, think of the impact it is having on your overall life and the impact it is having on those around you. How can I make time? Career Self Assessment Questions Reflecting on your career can feel like an overwhelming task. So, don’t make it overwhelming. You can make it a series of simple tasks.

This will tell you the areas you need to start addressing, so you can increase your fulfillment. Don’t let your career run you.

10 Mistakes in Writing in Resume

10 Mistakes in Writing in ResumeIn writing a resume, you must try to avoid the following mistakes that will result in your being rejected for an interview:o Not coming up with a resume based on your best skill and qualifications. When you are on a job hunting search, this mistake can take you right out of the running. Instead of focusing on your skills and qualifications, you will be tempted to fill in your resume with your best assets. This can turn off hiring managers who see that you have already forgotten about your shortcomings.o Using abbreviations instead of real words in your resume. Many employers will make a misjudgment if you use the same sentences and paragraphs in your resume as they did in their applications. Some companies may actually prefer using the shortened versions and not the full length resume. This can also cause confusion when the interviewers do not understand the meaning of your resume.o Making one resume for all the jobs you applied for. When applying for jobs, it is important to write down your previous positions and send a copy to the employer. By doing this, you will have many good opportunities to mention them when you apply for new jobs. As long as you remember to send one copy, there will be no room for editing errors. It is always better to send more than one resume.o Not including pertinent information in your resume. A vital part of writing a resume is presenting your career history. However, doing so can become tiresome if you leave out critical details. Things like your educational history, present employment, skills, and experiences that can prove useful for the job are only given when you provide them in your resume. They must be included in all your resumes for the benefit of the hiring manager.o Having too many credits in your resume. Most people think that if they can list their degrees, then the hiring manager will be impressed. However, you will not find many employers who will hire someone who has many degrees. Ins tead, it is better to only list your first two years of study or your post-graduate degree that were awarded after you passed out your entrance exam.o Lacking understanding of the basic job descriptions in a resume. Many people think that it is enough to mention their skills and qualifications in a resume. However, being able to communicate what your personal interest is is extremely important. Although you cannot offer specific information about your career goal in a resume, you can let the hiring manager know how you could serve him/her in his/her organization.
