The First Step In Content 📝 Marketing Is Creating Novel Content. Learn How

Justin Babcock • Jan 08, 2021

Back to the basics. The first step in content marketing is creating great content.

Content can be as simple as a single line of text posted to social media or as complex as a 10,000 page website.


With such a wide spectrum of what content is, how do you wrap your head around the “content” in content marketing. 


We break it down into three simple things.

  1. Copywriting
  2. Video creation
  3. Image creation


Each type of content can be posted, shares, and/or distributed on its own. The content can also be combined in various ways. But before you can think about distribution. You have to create. So, here’s how...

✅Create Copy

 

✅Open a Google Doc or Microsoft Word

✅Write a title 30 to 100 Characters long

✅Write a description 200 -  1000 words long

✅Write 3 to 5 tags

 

✅Create a Video

  • Open your camera app on your phone or computer
  • Record your video
  • Click on the share link and email the video to yourself
  • Save to your computer’s desktop
  • (Optional) edit video
  • Windows recommended editor:  Filmora 9
  • Mac recommended editor: iMovie

 

✅Take a screenshot from the video OR pick a stock photo

The most important thing is to have fun with it! If you are passionate about your message, it will come through in your content. Don’t worry about production value. 80% of marketing is about getting your message out to the public.

Making the Right Choice: Building a Website Yourself or Hiring a Designer

By Justin Babcock • 12 Jul, 2023
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
