Tools for Content Planning 🪄 (Part 3)
​🔔 Alert: This event is being rescheduled for the following week – which, though I'm terribly sorry, is an example of how even the best plans can be disrupted by everyday life!
​Description
​You’ve got so many ideas for content, so how do you organize them?!?! This workshop is building on previous sessions where we’ve brainstormed ideas – so now it’s time to get them into a content schedule.
​Our process at Maple is a blend of lessons learned from various mentors (thanked below). While we use Notion (and have a template you can copy), you can use any tool you like.
​The principles at work are cross platform. It’s about having a high-altitude view and maintaining a practice orientation. Let the ideas grow a bit, but don’t rush them. I’m excited to show you how.
​What you’ll learn (list three things)
​How to turn your brainstorm into a framework that “clicks” for your reader
​How to outline ideas without extinguishing the spark with over-thinking
​How to use a content calendar that organizes your notes
​Liz Pickard (copywriter) and I are going to demonstrate schedule content in real time for the next few months.
​Publishing consistently has eluded me for over a decade – and for some reason it’s a wall I keep throwing myself against. I feel like I’m finally starting to break through, and I’m here to share the journey (even the messy parts).
​If you’ve got a long list of ideas you want to share, but not sure how to plan it all out – well hey! Hello! Come on in! This one is for you, friend.
​Of course a shout-out to some of the mentors who’ve supported my creativity and process over the years… Marie Poulin, Chris Do, Tara McMullin, David Allen, Tatiana Figueiredo, Seth Godin
​FAQs
​Will this event be recorded? Yes, but only sharing the recording and materials inside the Maple Community (apply here)
​Is the event free? Yes! All our events are free right now.
​How can I prepare? For this event, brainstorm a big list of ideas for content. This way you can participate in the planning/scheduling exercise.
​What if I’m a beginner, will this be applicable? Yes! Though I’ll argue that you’re not actually a beginner when it comes to having experience and value to share with others. You might just be a beginner with publishing online. That’s fine. But you gotta decide – are you stuck because you think you need to do it all yourself? Most creators hand off their drafts to a professional who formats and publishes content for them – and it’s not as out of reach as you might think.
