FAQ About Content Consistency
How to have a system in place for content creation?
First of all, you need to decide on the content you want to create. Then write a list of all the ideas you can think of for this content type. So you don't have to think about it every time. Most of the time, the reason why we delay while producing content contrary to what we want is because we did not plan the next step in advance. When you write your content in a list, you will have a certain system.
Sitting down once a week or a month and creating such a list not only brings new content ideas because you take the time to think, but you also plan the next step well in advance.
It's also helpful to create multiple content at once. If you try to produce the content right before you publish it, it is not very good for the originality and beauty of the content. Therefore, it would make more sense to record or create multiple content simultaneously while pre-recording and saving.
How to manage time when creating a content?
The first thing you need to do is realize that it will take a real time to produce something. For example, when shooting a YouTube video, there are many elements such as preparing for this video, dressing, preparing the text beforehand, then shooting and editing the video. All of these need to be factored into the time calculation. Let's say for a 15-minute YouTube video, all the above tasks took an average of 3 hours. The next one took 2 hours 55 minutes. This means that over time, you become easier to handle some things in this job. This is also good for time management.
It doesn't matter how much time it takes to produce a piece of content at first. It's more important to learn how much time it takes over time. So you can see how quickly you are improving your time management.
Why should I choose a theme to cover all of my content?
This is gonna help you do is draw your content back to that one point so you can not only be consistent with posting but you're also being consistent with your messaging.
It doesn't really good when posting consistently when your message doesn't really make sense in the bigger picture to your audience. Importance about being consistent with your message is
- It helps with the brand recognition and it helps your audience form a deeper connection with you,
- It makes it easier for you to be consistent because you have a message that you can draw all of your content back to.
How can I create more?
The important thing here is to start doing something. The more you create, the more you can create. When the flow of producing content begins, more creative content ideas will come to your mind. If you want to produce content, you should start producing as soon as possible. It doesn't matter at first how good it is. It is important to learn how to do this job and to improve yourself in this regard.
You will also start getting feedback when you start producing content. Maybe you will gain followers. So they will tell you what they want to see. That's why starting to produce content is the most important step.
Where should I start being consistent?
The goal here is really to provide continuity. Not pretending to do something you thought you couldn't do in the first place. If you set yourself a very exaggerated goal, you will be disappointed when you cannot achieve this goal. This will cause you to lose interest.
It's important to start small. For example, make a promise to yourself that you will share a story on Instagram every day. Pretty simple isn't it? Let's imagine that your content is books, put photos such as a sentence, a page, the cover of the book from the book you read every day in your story. In fact, if we combine it with our previous posts, take these photos in one day and share them throughout the week. So you create continuity.
Then, when you think that you have mastered this continuity and your habit has formed, now move on to a different area and decide to post on your feed. Maybe 1 post every day.
How should I set my goals while producing content?
It's important to setting a high goal but an attainable goal. When you set a high goal, you need to know that you will work extra hard to achieve it.
Let's say at the beginning of the year you set your goal of having 10k followers on Instagram by the end of the year. According to this account, you should have at least 5 thousand followers like June. If not, you should learn that you have to work for it. For example, when you posted 1 post every day, when June came, you had maybe 4 thousand followers. Then set a goal of sharing 1 post per day and 1 reels every 2 days, so you'll be working harder for your goal. This makes it easier for you to reach your goal.
Why is it important to consistently produce content?
When content is produced regularly and systematically, first of all, the probability of your content being discovered increases.
There's also more content people can see when they discover your page. Also, newcomers can know when you produce content and wait accordingly.
How should I create the content plan?
You can prepare this plan on an Excel file, in the form of a calendar. When you prepare a monthly calendar template and divide it by days, you can keep your content plan on this calendar. You can also continue your plan for the following months by adding a new calendar template for each month.
How to prepare a monthly social media content plan?
Identify the brand's goal of being on social media. Analyze your competitors. Get to know your target audience closely. Consider the content categories for your brand. Do not skip special days, but do not drown too much. Prepare share texts. Be sure to read and criticize all content. Schedule your content.
