To batch all your content effectively, you need two core things: a schedule and a system. Immersing these steps will help you create an approach to batching that works for you.

SET THE MOOD, CREATE THE SCENE

Get behind a desk and a comfortable but upright chair for work. You don’t need to feel too comfortable that you’re sleepy five minutes in. Create your work scene and remove all distractions. You need to be focused on brainstorming & creating content for a few hours.

ORGANIZE! LOOK AT MAJOR DEADLINES AND PLAN EVERYTHING OUT IN ADVANCE

Would you schedule individual work days for tasks on your to-do list? Would you pick a category of work for each day & focus on getting the most done? Or would you dedicate a month to one project and work wildly ahead, or a few hours each day for tasks? Whatever strategy works best for you, grab a calendar and write it out, so you can stick to it.

BRAINSTORM CONTENT IDEAS USING YOUR CONTENT STRATEGY FOR THE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS

Yes, quite important. The type and style of content aren’t the same for the different social media platforms. So if you’re big on utilizing all the major platforms in promoting your business, batching content will help you brainstorm content ideas for the different platforms and create the content that fits.

YOU’VE FIGURED IT OUT… NOW BATCH ALONG!

Now that you have all the ideas and major know-how, it’s time to get into action consistently and more efficiently. Designate a day/two to write all the blog posts you need for the month. And a day or two to create all the graphics & copy for the social posts you need. All of these could be done in a week. Fill in your social media calendar with social holidays, events in your business, BTS, etc.

And your entire social media strategy is done!
