Navigating Content Creation When Everything Feels Overwhelming

About this episode

This is a difficult topic to navigate, especially with everything going on in the world right now. I promised you that this podcast would focus on what’s working right now - and right now you may be feeling very heavy. If you don’t want to create content right now - that’s ok - your people will understand. Just know that like you, your audience may also be feeling overwhelmed. Let’s explore effective ways to create content that brings value and a moment of relief, whether it’s through fun, relatable posts or small wins.

In this episode we’ll be covering:

  • Avoid adding to the overwhelm through simple content that gives a small win or makes someone’s day a bit brighter.
  • Applying specificity to go beyond the surface level struggles that your audience is experiencing.
  • Why does your audience desire this outcome? What is the reasoning behind it?
  • Keeping your content relevant and using words that people can attach to.
  • Realizing it’s ok to take a pause with your content, do what’s right for you. 
  • Analyzing why these types of reels catch people's attention so fast.
  • Expanding more on last week's discussion about visual and verbal hooks.
