Atiba breaks down these buckets as follows:1. **Why Content**: This is the largest bucket, comprising about 70% of your content. It focuses on why certain things are important, sharing values, and connecting with your audience on a deeper level.2. **How Content**: This bucket demonstrates how you do something, offering insights into your processes and showcasing your expertise.3. **What Content**: Contrary to what many might think, this is not about what you do but rather asking if your audience would like your help with something, subtly leading them to engage with your services or products.Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just starting, the lessons in this episode are sure to provide valuable guidance on your journey to success.Visit Atiba de Souza’s social media pages:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/atibadesouzaWebsite: https://atibadesouza.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/atibadesouza/Learn more about Katie and Next Step Social Communications:Speaking: https://katiebrinkley.com/Website: https://www.nextstepsocialcommunications.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiebrinkleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/@rockymountainmarketingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkatiebrinkley/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/socialprofitlab#video #aitool #podcasting #podcaststrategy #socialmediagrowth #businesspodcasts #socialmediastrategy #businessgrowth #contentcreation #brandawareness #digitalmarketing #smallbusinessowners #entrepreneurship #businessbranding #communitybuilding Hosted on Acast.
