Maybe you've been posting and taking breaks.
You're so active for a week, and then the next week, you don't have anything to talk or write about. You repeat this process, again and again, until you eventually get tired.
Then, we hear that not showing up consistently can affect your page. Your views and engagement begin to decrease, and people tell you, "Show up consistently with your content."
But nobody actually tells you how to do that. Everything just stays on the surface level.
But don't worry. This post will practically guide you through building a content system that helps you show up consistently with ease.
I believe this is part of what great creators like Salem King and Eric Gugua do regularly, even before they gained mastery in their craft.
Now, let's learn how to build a content system.
Content, as we know, is any piece of information designed to influence, promote, educate, or change narratives in people's minds. It comes in various forms: videos, images, write-ups, and so on.
But the major problem is often knowing how to develop and properly communicate what you want to write or say.
Every great video or post that has influenced you went through a process. From having the idea in mind, allowing it to develop, bringing out the juice, creating the first messy draft, and then editing the entire work.
Let's take an example.
You want to write about how young people can become transformational without holding titles or occupying positions.
First, you list out the possible ways they can achieve this:
- Get healing.
- Gain exposure.
- Pass down what they've learned in different places, even to a child. They don't necessarily have to be in the spotlight before they can make an impact.
Then, you sit with these ideas and brainstorm around each one.
How do they get healing? How can they gain exposure? What does it mean to pass down what they've learned, and how can they practically do it?
After that, you begin writing.
At this stage, don't worry too much about grammar. Your first responsibility is to get what's in your head down on paper or into your video. Once you've done that, you can go back and edit.
Yes, this takes time.
But you have to be patient enough to bring life to your work of art.
When you repeatedly follow processes like these, they gradually become part of you. You get to a point where writing or creating videos no longer feels like something you have to struggle with every single time.
And that's when you can confidently say, "I've built a content system."
Because a process that you repeatedly practise and improve eventually becomes a system.
So, try this with your brand.
Start with the idea. Give it room to develop. Break it down, brainstorm, create your messy draft, and then edit.
Don't just wait until you feel inspired before you create. Build a process that makes creating easier for you.
Try it out and send me your response. I'd love to hear how it goes.
