Getting started…

We have been hearing about ” Content” and “Content Creation” but do we really know what they mean?

First,

What is Content?

Content is information about a particular thing or various things made for a purpose to an audience through a medium/channel e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogs, websites, e-mail, text messages in a form (video, text, audio, graphics, infographics, memes and so on).

What is Content Creation?

Content creation is the creation of any information, details to any media platform be it social media, blogs, magazines, newspaper and so on for informing, influencing, selling or affecting the end user (your audience, followers, customers, clients and so on).

Reasons You Burn Out While Creating Content

Here is why you burn out while creating content for your blog.

1. You don’t know what you want to create content for or about

You are trying to change someone’s blog or social media post or teaching what you don’t understand.

I know you got a light bulb idea or moment while reading that social media or blog post.

But, can you think about it, understand it and write it down somewhere before trying to make a whole post about it immediately?

2. You don’t draft your content ideas before creating the content fully

This is one reason I love using Microsoft word to write and edit my content before publishing on my blogs.

I write out everything I know. Highlight major points before “fleshing” out my content.

You know the same way you are told in school while writing an essay, you should outline your major points before writing an essay.

Do it the same way for your content. You could use your phone, laptop or pen and paper.

3. You don’t batch create content

You are always creating content at the dying minute.

Creating content in batch saves you a lot of time.

Most times, content you create in a hurry is filled with mistakes and some things that shouldn’t be there.

This does not mean you can’t create new content that same day and post it.

4. You always try to edit while writing

Allow your creative juices to run as you write or create content.

Do the editing after writing.

Cake Business Blog Post Ideas

Having a blog is a good way to market your cake business.

Blogging can effectively grow your cake business by attracting more customers and cake orders.

Here are blog post ideas and tips for your cake business:

Publish weekly or monthly cake gallery posts. Showing your potential customers exactly what they can expect from you in terms of design, style and quality in actual photographs of your cakes is far more persuasive.
Share success stories, especially when used in combination with a cake gallery on your cake business website, because it provides social proof from one customer to another (potential) customer that your cakes are as good as they look.
Take the time to introduce yourself either in a blog post people can easily find or in an ‘About Page’ on your website.
Tell people a bit about yourself, your history of baking, your particular skills. Be yourself and let some of your personality shine through.
Create posts on how to choose your cake order and on reasons to order your next celebration cake.
Regularly updating your website with fresh, quality content from the kitchen can help to improve your search engine ranking and SEO.
Another way to regularly update your website is with new cake designs to add to your portfolio. This works especially well if you offer a few set designs and custom cakes, as you can showcase these of a blog post.
Always add new options to create excitement around your cake business and build familiarity with your brand and your cakes, so customers know what they can expect and like what they see.
