Lesson 2: Create An Audience Persona
Content Queens,
To get the most out of your content goals, you need to know exactly who your target audience is, as well as what their interests are, pain points, and needs related to your brand. This information will allow you to create better-targeted content that drives the results you want (clicks and traffic, downloads, conversions, shares, etc.). By putting together your audience persona, you’ll help to give yourself a clear picture of the person to target with your content. This will help you create content for your audiences’ specific needs and interests that will resonate when you post and convert.
By doing today's exercise, you can better understand more of what your audience wants/needs from your social media account, blog, or podcast. You'll also be able to better attract your ideal clients and provide great value to those that subscribe and are fans of your brand.

LESSON 3
GENERATE IDEAS
Lesson 3: Generate Ideas
Ok, Content Queens! Now it’s time to start generating ideas!
Now that you have the framework for your content, you need to brainstorm post/episode ideas. Coming up with dozens of engaging topics and other types of content in one go may seem super time consuming, but you’ll save a lot of time in the long run.
Make sure to keep your goals and the information from the audience persona task in mind. Each piece of content you create should be strategic in how it resonates with your audience. It should help you reach your goals by feeding a need or interest of your target audience. Here’s how to come up with a year’s worth of content ideas.
1. Research Popular Content Shared by Your Industry/NicheTake a deeper look at what’s going on in your industry to understand what type of content is being shared and what content gets the best results. You can also use this research to get inspiration from relevant bloggers, podcasters, or industry subject matter experts.
*Resources like Feedly and Flipboard can help you keep track of the latest content in your niche. You can also subscribe to the top publications in your niche and to relevant topics in your industry for great ideas to cover on your platform.
Success Tip!
When examining the top-performing content in your niche, make sure to look at:
- What subjects your niche is covering (what needs they’re meeting and what value they’re providing to the reader)
- What types of headlines they’re using (to catch your audience's attention)
- The word counts of articles and how they’re structured.
2. Cover Popular Topics From a New AngleRepurposing is key! When coming up with new content ideas, it’s not just about coming up with any idea, but rather ideas that will work and get you results and a return. A buyer typically has a minimum of 7 interactions with a product before they make a purchase. Make sure that you're presenting your products and services in new ways so that you don't come across as spammy.
HERE ARE A COUPLE OTHER TYPES OF CONTENT THAT WORKS WELL FOR MOST AUDIENCES: HOW-TO GUIDES, OPINION ARTICLES, LISTICLES, PRODUCT REVIEWS, CASE STUDIES, INFOGRAPHICS, VIDEOS, PODCASTS, INTERVIEWS, MEMES, INTERACTIVE CONTENT (QUIZZES, POLLS, TESTS, ETC).
