The Content Creation Hack: Work Smarter, Not Harder

Content marketing is coming up with new, compelling, and creative ways to say the same essential thing.

​But, if you want to get real mileage from your content so you don't feel drained by the demand of social media marketing, you need a much smarter system.

​The trick is to brainstorm until you have one cracking idea, and then give it a little makeover:

​Change the Perspective: Don’t just spout out the same old facts.

Show us the 'behind the scenes', offer a cheeky counter-argument, or tell us how you actually apply it in practice.

​Tell a Good Story: A bit of narrative goes a long way! Stories stick with people and build that all-important connection.

​Mix the Format Up: This is my fave - simply mix it up! A different format catches a different eye across different platforms. Create the same core message in a written post, a reel, a story, a blog etc..

​That's how you turn one Idea into week's worth of engagement! 🙌🏼

Now, what's the relevance of this stunning Macaw in the photo, you ask?

He's the perfect reminder that some repetition is absolutely fine, as long as you deliver it with enough personality to make it memorable.

That's the real content marketing secret! 😉 🦜

Now here's a lady who speaks my language.

Always so great to catch up with Tracey Payne who runs multiple businesses, including fun, and engaging networking groups for women and mums in business.

At some point, I think we need to put our heads together and plan a mega, marketing training and networking sesh for our local businesses!

Who's in?? 🙋🏼‍♀️

A little example of the meaningful gifts you can discover from your local high street shops.

I'm chuffed to bits with my find, if you're looking for something a bit more meaningful than the typical generic, gifts from the internet giants, just head into town to discover something that's just perfect for your loved one 😊🎄

Look at all the lovely gifts we were able to donate to South Derbyshire CVS 🙌🏼

Great team effort, what a difference we can make when we work together.

Featured in the photo is Petra from the foodbank at SDCVS, who has an absolute heart of gold and works tirelessly to help anyone who needs it in our community - and always without judgement.

The whole team are honestly, absolutely wonderful. It's always a pleasure to visit and hear about their work, and I'm always so warmly welcomed.
Keep up the amazing work all at South Derbyshire CVS.
And an enormous thank you to our local businesses who have contributed this year, while things are tight for all of us.

It all matters, it all helps ❤️

What a fantastic afternoon at the Festive Afternoon Tea for Small Businesses! 🎄

We networked, we celebrated, we shared, we laughed and even heard a few embarrassing moments 🤣.

Thank you all for coming along!

I'm so sorry a few of you were too poorly to come along today, I do hope you recover very soon and you were all missed.

I have also just delivered your generously donated gifts to South Derbyshire CVS (photo to follow) who were immensely grateful.

As always, the food from Sweet Caroline was wonderful and the room at Sharpe's Pottery Museum was the perfect setting for us to get together and enjoy each other's company.

I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did ❤️

Merry Christmas to and from the Swadlincote Small Business Community 🎄

This is what we achieved last year Swadlincote businesses for the Christmas gift drive for South Derbyshire CVS.

Tomorrow, a group of us will be meeting at Sharpe's Pottery Museum between 12-2pm for our small business owners' Festive Afternoon Tea, if anyone wants to drop a present or 2 off, these will be dropped off with SDCVS after the event.

Anyone attending the afternoon tea and is able to bring a gift along for the donation pile - it would be very much appreciated.

These gifts go to our local people, our neighbours, your children's school friends, elderly people, adults in temporary accommodation, anyone who needs a pick me up and to know someone cares at Christmas.

Thank you all and I look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow 🎄

You don't buy a drill because it drives screws into wood.
You buy it so you can finally put up that kitchen shelf, finish off the room you've been working on for weeks, and proudly display your favourite kitchen for you to admire every time you make coffee.

You're not buying the drill. You're buying the finished kitchen. The satisfaction. That moment when you step back and think, "Yes, I actually did that."

This is the difference between features and benefits - and it's costing you sales.

Big brands like Apple, Nike, and Airbnb don't lead with what their product has. They lead with what it does for you. The transformation. The result. The life you get to live after.

But most small businesses get stuck listing specs, features, and "what we do" and to put it bluntly, your customers don't care.

What they do care about is their problem being solved. Their life getting better. The transformation you're offering them.

Check out the headphone example in the graphic. Which speaks to you more: "Active noise cancellation blocks 95% of sound" or "Double your productivity by completely shutting off the outside world and immersing yourself in your most important work"? One's a spec. The other's a transformation.

If my problem was being distracted while trying to work in a noisy environment, I'd be reaching for your bank card at the second statement.

When you shift from selling features to selling outcomes, everything changes. Your messaging clicks. Your ideal customers see themselves in your words. And they actually buy.

So here's my question for you:
Are you selling a drill... or are you selling the dream kitchen?

Ready to Innovate your Lip Shimmer? ... 🤷🏼‍♀️

I seriously heard that on an advert today for lipstick..

I mean, who actually talks like that??

Ladies, when did you ever in your life wake up and think "hmmm... I fancy innovating my lip shimmer today" 🙄🤣🤣

When did people forget that it's still PEOPLE that buy products,

Talk like people and maybe people WILL want to Innovate their lip shimmer, though they'll still never say that 🤣

Have a great weekend all.
