🤑 Most content creators don't get enough value out of the content they create.

Frequently creators put out a piece of content, and then just move on to the next thing. With a little bit of planning you can make your content work harder for you.

🔑 Key 1: The script is your blueprint

This isn't a "script" in the Hollywood sense. Typically this is simply a list of bullet points listing things you want to cover, and the order you want to cover them in.

Use your script to plan for other types of content you'll make.
The MOST important thing about the script is to use it to ensure your ideas are solid, because this is when it's "cheap" to make changes. Ask yourself:

✅ Does this make sense as a story?
✅ Are the points in the correct order?
✅ Does it educate, encourage, or entertain? Image

♻️ News flash: You're making TOO MUCH content!

♻️ Transform longer writing into shorter writing

➡️ If you have a multi-paragraph essay you also have new pieces of content that can be created from each paragraph.

➡️ Transform each part into "bite sized" content for Twitter or other micro-blogging platforms. Image
♻️ Transform writing into images + pull-quotes

➡️ Pull the best sentences or thoughts from longer content, add a relevant image from unsplash, and boom!

➡️ You now have visual content for Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms that put a premium on visual content. Image
