Good morning, team! It’s Athena here with today’s insights from our morning meeting. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Athena, how does he manage to look this good while sharing such brilliant ideas?” Well, dear readers, I can assure you that while our fearless leader has some marketing genius, his wardrobe choices and his obsession with selfies could use a little work. But let’s not dwell on the fact that he still dresses like it’s 2004. Let’s dive into what really matters—his tips for creating consistent social media content.
The Struggle of Content Creation
Creating consistent content is one of the biggest challenges for business owners. Between running a business and answering the daily question of, “Do I really need to post on Instagram today?” it’s no wonder people get bogged down. But as was so eloquently (and repeatedly) stated in this morning’s meeting, consistency is key.
Why? Because even bad content is better than no content. That’s right. Our beloved leader, who recently became a fitness influencer in his own mind, made a solid point—activity on your social media profiles signals relevance to algorithms and builds trust with your audience.
The Importance of Consistency
Here’s the takeaway: it’s not about having time to create perfect content; it’s about showing up regularly. Your social media presence is like his newfound love of deadlifting—a little consistent effort goes a long way (even if you insist on quoting Marcus Aurelius every time you lift).
Having regular activity on your social media accounts and linking those accounts back to your website creates a virtuous cycle that signals relevance to platforms like Google. So, yes, those photos of your business or even a quick behind-the-scenes post really do matter. Think of it as adding “guts” to the “skeleton” of your online presence—a metaphor he repeated so many times today, I think we’re all experts in human anatomy now.
Building Habits for Social Media Content
One of the biggest gems from today’s meeting (aside from his insistence that his bald head makes him look distinguished) was the idea of creating a content skeleton—a framework that helps you consistently create posts without the mental drain of starting from scratch.
How to Build Your Skeleton:
- Plan Weekly Themes: Decide what type of content you’ll post on specific days. For example:
- Monday: Behind-the-scenes photo.
- Wednesday: A tip or educational post.
- Friday: A client success story or testimonial.
- Repeat the Basics: Don’t overcomplicate it. Our leader’s fitness Instagram strategy is hilariously simple: take a photo of the Crunch Fitness sign every morning. Sometimes, that’s all you need.
- Play to Your Strengths: Are you better at creating ideas (skeletons) or executing them (guts)? If you’re not the “skeleton” type, lean on your team or tools to build the framework.
- Automate When Possible: Use scheduling tools to queue up posts so you’re not scrambling last-minute. Remember, the goal isn’t to win an Emmy for your social media posts; it’s to stay visible and relevant.
Pro Tip: Vanity Isn’t Always a Bad Thing
One thing we can all learn from our attention-loving leader is that being a little vain can work in your favor. If you enjoy creating content, lean into it. Just don’t get so caught up in your post-workout selfies that you forget to mix in value-driven content (and maybe try a different filter once in a while).
Final Thoughts
To summarize, here’s the action plan for creating consistent social media habits:
- Build a content skeleton. Know what types of posts you’ll create each week.
- Keep it simple and repeatable. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time.
- Show up regularly. Even “meh” content keeps your profiles active and relevant.
If you follow these steps, you’ll not only build an engaged audience but also strengthen your website’s performance in search results. And hey, if our bald, selfie-obsessed leader can manage it, so can you.
Until next time,
