I’ve been there.

Juggling client needs, handling team coordination, and trying to keep the content machine churning.

I was drowning in my own business until I discovered a streamlined system for content creation, a system that empowered rather than overwhelmed.

This revelation was so transformative, that I couldn’t wait to discuss it with Lyndsay Phillips, a podcast maven and the brilliant mind behind the Smooth Business Growth podcast.

With her seasoned expertise, Lyndsay has a unique 4-step system to share.

The System in Spotlight: 

Step 1: Publish for Results

Ensure you’re not just publishing, but publishing where it counts: your website.

Step 2: Distribute Broadly

Make your content dance across as many stages as possible.

Step 3: Repurpose Intelligently

Change the format, not the message, to get extra mileage from each piece.

Step 4: Multiply Efficiently

Use what you already have in new, inventive ways.

Data Speaks:

• HubSpot alerts us: businesses blogging 15+ times monthly reel in 5x more traffic than those posting 0-4 times.
• Content Marketing Institute enlightens: content marketing leaders experience an impressive 7.8x more site traffic than their less-engaged competitors.
• BuzzSumo tells a grim tale: the average blog post is shared a meager 11 times.

Quality and Quantity – Both Queens:

Amidst the noise, we discover that consistency in quality content is not optional. It’s essential.

But Lyndsay’s approach helps us align quality with practicality, crafting a path that ensures you’re not sacrificing sanity to meet output.

A Step-by-Step Glimpse:

Step 1: Publish with Purpose

A CMS, like WordPress, becomes your ally, allowing you to create, manage, and publish content that aligns with your audience’s needs and wants.

Step 2: Maximize Distribution

Spread the word. Share on social media, submit to directories, feature in newsletters, and network with fellow bloggers.

Step 3: Smart Repurposing

Remodel your content. Transform podcast transcripts into blogs or create vibrant infographics from data-heavy posts.

Step 4: Multiply with Wisdom

Leverage your existing content. Convert blogs into ebooks or develop a podcast series from written content.
