5 Tips for Creating Content When You Don't Have Time

Hey there! I know juggling a busy schedule while trying to create amazing content can feel like trying to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time—it's a real challenge. But worry not! I've got your back with some practical tips to help you create killer content even when time feels tighter than your favourite skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner.

Truth bomb: At one time I would spend hours creating 1 piece of content and I actually had content burnout ??.

I wondered:

Does anyone care?

Does anyone read it?

Does it really make a difference?

The answers that I discovered were an alarming, "Yes! It matters and people care."

More importantly it builds rapport and trust.

Here are some tips I implement on a regular and it has been a game changer for me. Remember consistency is key and making your time count is the name of the game.

5 Tips to Create Content When You Don't Have Time

1. Prioritize Like a Pro: Start by identifying what matters most to your audience and focus on creating content that resonates with them. Quality over quantity! Pick a few key topics that pack a punch and dive deep into those. Remember, it's better to post one amazing piece of content than ten mediocre ones.
2. Repurpose and Recycle: Don't reinvent the wheel every time you sit down to create content. Take a look at what you've already got—old blog posts, videos, podcasts—and give them a fresh spin. Turn that webinar into a series of bite-sized Instagram posts or transform those FAQs into a LinkedIn article. Get creative with what you already have!
3. Batch It Up: Ever heard of batching? It's a game-changer! Set aside dedicated blocks of time to create content in batches. Write several blog posts in one sitting, record multiple videos in a day, or schedule a photo shoot for social media content all at once. Batching saves time, boosts efficiency, and keeps your creative juices flowing. This is exactly what I am doing as I am writing this article for you! ??????
4. Embrace Automation: Let technology work its magic for you. Use scheduling tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later (I use Publer) to plan your posts ahead of time. You can write captions, choose images, and schedule everything in one go. That way, your content goes out like clockwork even when you're knee-deep in other tasks.
5. Delegate and Collaborate: Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Whether it's outsourcing content creation to a freelancer, partnering with a fellow coach for a guest post, or getting your team involved in brainstorming ideas, sharing the load lightens the burden. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work! Copy.ai has become my new bestie- ain't gonna lie.

So, no more excuses about not having enough time to create engaging content. With these tips in your back pocket, you'll be churning out quality posts like a content-creating machine in no time. Stay focused, stay creative, and watch your audience grow and engage with your awesome content. You've got this! ?? #ContentCreationHacks #TimeManagement #QualityOverQuantity
