9 Ways to Plan Your Content

Maybe not like this one (shows
displaced goal netting)
For each piece of content
What action do you want your
audience to take?
What action do you want them to
take? Read your page?

Make an enquiry?
#2 Set KPI’S
Once your goals are set
Measure their performance
For example, downloading and
other ‘events’ can easily be tracked
in Google Analytics
For example, downloading and
other ‘events’ can easily be tracked
in Google Analytics with a few
snippets of code.

#3 Use an editorial calendar
If you have multiple categories,
products or services,
creating an editorial calendar is a
great way to evenly publish
content based on your core
business.
#4 Use existing calendar dates
It’d be a crime NOT to take
advantage of key holidays!
Other dates:
- Public Holidays
[Australia day]
- International days
[International speak like a pirate day]
Other dates:

- Key industry dates
[Boxing day sales]
- Special weekly posts
[Happy Friday]
#5 Use personas
Writing becomes easier…
when you know who your
audience is.
By creating personas….
You can set a consistent tone in
your messaging and appeal to a
broad range of readers
HubSpot wrote a great piece about
creating marketing personas for
conttent marketing.
#6 Consult stakeholders
Which areas of the business do
they want to be pushing through
content writing and SEO?
Example: Product 1, Product 2,
Marketing, Sales, Specials…
#7 Research
It’s great to read other blogs for
inspiration…
but be sure to double check your
facts before sharing what another
blog has told you.
If you want to be authoritative,
don’t make the mistake of not
cross-checking your facts
#8 Plan for Devices
with the rising use of mobile and
tablet devices
It is more important than ever to
ensure that your website and other
pieces of content are accessible and
responsive to the various screen
resolutions

And finally…
#9 Plan Structure
Start with the headings to list the
topics you want to write about
and then fill the content in
between.
By doing so, you stay on topic and
stay relevant to your headline.
So to recap…
Set goals
Set KPIs
Use an editorial calendar
Use existing calendar dates
Use Personas
Consult with Stakeholders
Research
Plan for devices
Plan the structure
Thank you
(now get planning!)
