STOP Creating Content! {say what?}

Stop creating content!

Since content is dead, what’t the point of creating it, right?

What’s that?

You mean content, and especially content creation, isn’t dead?

Guess what?

You’re absolutely right!

There are those…

There are those who will tell you content and content creation is dead. Invariably they are trying to sell you the next new thing that will replace content.

And how are they selling it? With content. Let that one sink in a bit.

Years ago I was speaking at a multi-speaker conference event. Sitting in on another speaker’s talk I heard this:

“The time of content creation is dead. It is now the time of content curation.”

Because I otherwise respected the speaker, I simply chuckled. What I really wanted to say was:

“And by saying that you are, you guessed it, creating content!”

Another one to allow to sink in just a bit.

So what you really want to stop is creating the “same-old-same-old” content you see filling up the online space.

What to do instead

What you want to do instead is create fresh content with fresh content ideas.

In just a moment I’m going to connect you to 3 fresh content ideas, but first let me walk you through just one fresh content idea:

Content Creation: 3 FAQs and 3 SAQs?

Get good at content creation and you can pretty much write your own ticket online.

To that end, here are 3 Frequently Asked Questions and 3 Should Ask Questions about Content Creation:

FAQs

FAQ 1: When you refer to content are you only talking about articles?

A 1: NO! 🙂 While articles and blog posts are important (text) you want to create content in audio (podcasts, etc) and video (YouTube, TikTok).

And remember graphics! Infographics, memes, and more!

FAQ 2: Isn’t content repurposing duplicate content?

Q 2: No not at all.

Duplicate content is a “black hat” activity that Google will penalize you for. Let’s say you have a great article on your blog that goes semi-viral. So you try to game the system by putting that article on several different pages on your blog. That’s duplicate content and it’s dumb.

Repurposing is a “white hat” activity that Google loves. It’s simply taking one piece of content and repurposing it in many ways across many platforms. That’s content repurposing and it’s super smart.

FAQ 3: How can I come up with enough fresh content ideas?

A 3: Best thing you can do is keep a running list of ideas as they come. Capture the ideas, don’t fool yourself into believing you’ll remember it later. Capture it!

Another great tip is to go to Medium.com and search articles under your keywords. This is a bounty of great ideas that you can run with and do a better job.

SAQ 2: After I’ve created my content do I have to start all over again to create ebooks, courses, and other info-products?

A 2: Absolutely not! One of the best benefits of my Create * Repurpose * Profit System is that when you create your content you’re also creating your products.

SAQ 3: How can I create enough content to make a difference and a profit without spending hours a day creating content?

A 3: Would you like me to make it “fill-in-the-blanks” fast, easy, and simple for you?
