Content is the base of your online presence. It’s about showing who you are while also speaking to your audience’s struggles, goals, and needs. Think of it like holding up a mirror - your ideal clients should see themselves and their aspirations in what you share.

Step 1: Create content categories

Depending on platform of your choice, create content categories that align with your brand and audience. A balanced mix of educational, inspirational, entertaining, and engaging content works well across most platforms. Refer to the Content Categories for inspiration and customization.

• Entertaining: “A Day in My Life as a Business Owner”
• Engaging: “What’s Your Biggest Business Goal for 2023? Share Below!” </aside>

Step 2: Create a visuals content bank

Create and organize a library of high-quality visuals:

• Photos: Professional or DIY with good lighting.
• Themes: Use tools like Google Drive, Trello, or Airtable to categorize visuals into folders (e.g., “Workday,” “Products,” “Lifestyle”).

Invest in high-quality visuals to elevate appearance and simplify content creation. Professional photography - headshots, lifestyle images, and workplace photos - can enhance your credibility. If a professional shoot isn’t an option, DIY options with good lighting and clear settings can work too.

Your audience connects with authenticity. Share stories about your journey, challenges, and successes.. Use the  Brand Identity to ensure your stories align with your values and goals.

Example Format for Storytelling:

1. Introduction: Share a challenge or inspiration.
2. Turning Point: Describe how you solved it.
3. Takeaway: Tie it back to your audience’s aspirations.
