Katy Howell - Creating Mass Content Reach Without The Overwhelm

Content, content, content - it’s all we seem to talk about in this new multi-media, multi-platform, multi-audience based world isn’t it! But there’s a reason why you hear common phrases like ‘Content Is King’ so regularly and that’s because it really is imperative to your mission to get this stuff right! Having said how important content is, we also need to be aware that the constant and consistent pressure of creation, repurposing and syndication of said content, to all corners of the planet, can feel like a full time job in and of itself, right!? Fear not, as in this episode we are bringing you the wisdom and insights of the fabulous Katy Howell, who shares a ton of value on the subject. Katy highlights how she is able to continually produce large volumes of content through the use of the ‘shattered content’ technique, without it becoming overwhelming and daunting.

We talk about how important it is to build a team who aren’t clones of you, who hold a variety of skill sets. The importance of not ‘turning the tap off and how to keep churning out content consistently to be able to build an engaged audience. Thinking of your content with a tunnel mentality to be able to bring people down your funnel and ultimately convert them.

In this podcast we cover:

• Making blogging less painful
• Allowing creative freedom of content
• 'Shatter’ Content
• Creation and scheduling content
• Content Strategy
• Agency Fame
