In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that can simplify AND skyrocket your Instagram marketing game: batching your content.

You might be wondering, what exactly is batching and why is it so crucial for your Instagram strategy? You’ve heard me talk a lot lately about Instagram, finding a sustainable posting schedule for you, and how batching your content can make it 10x easier to stay consistent on Instagram without feeling like you’re stuck on a content creation hamster wheel.

Well, let's break it down.

Batching is the process of creating multiple pieces of content in one sitting, rather than creating content on a day-to-day basis. It's like cooking a week's worth of meals in one go, saving you time and energy throughout the week. And when it comes to Instagram, batching can be a game-changer.

Here's why:

  1. Batching allows for consistency. When you sit down to create content in bulk, you ensure that your posts maintain a consistent theme, style, and message. This consistency not only strengthens your brand identity but also keeps your audience engaged and coming back for more.

  2. Secondly, batching saves time. By dedicating a chunk of time to create content, you eliminate the need to constantly switch gears between content creation and other tasks. This focused approach not only increases productivity but also frees up valuable time to focus on other aspects of your business.

  3. Thirdly, batching enhances creativity. When you're in the flow of content creation, ideas tend to flow more freely. By batching your content, you can tap into this creative momentum and explore new ideas and formats, resulting in more engaging and innovative posts for your audience.

  4. I helps keep your content strategic. When you plan and create content in batches, you have the opportunity to align your posts with your overall business goals and marketing objectives. This strategic approach ensures that every piece of content serves a purpose and contributes to your business's growth and success.

(By the way: I’m releasing a new product called The Content Batching Blueprint soon which will help you batch 1 month of content in 1 day. Sign up here >>)

So, how can you start batching your Instagram content?

Well, here are some practical tips to get you started:

  1. Plan ahead: Take some time to outline your content themes, topics, and objectives for the upcoming weeks or months.

  2. Create templates: Develop templates for your captions, graphics, and other visual elements to streamline the content creation process.

  3. Set aside dedicated time: Block out specific time slots in your schedule for content creation, and treat it as you would any other important task.

  4. Stay organized: Use tools like content calendars or project management apps to keep track of your content ideas, schedules, and deadlines.

  5. Batch in batches: Break down your content creation process into smaller batches, focusing on one aspect at a time (e.g., writing captions, designing graphics, scheduling posts).

By implementing these strategies, you can harness the power of batching to level up your Instagram game, post consistently, and start attracting consistent clients.

Before I had my own business, I used to see photos of women working from home and pretty workspaces and think it looked so easy and fun. 

Buttttt after working from home for 8 years now, I can tell you it isn’t always as easy as it seemed at first.

I wholeheartedly believe it can be simple. But simple and easy are not the same.

Sometimes, you’ll have days when you struggle to get stuff done, stay focused or complete your to-do list.

When you just struggle to be productive.

So in today’s episode, I’m going to share EVERYTHING that has helped me personally to be more productive.

You’ll learn:

• How to be productive when your family is home and it's hard to focus

• Why I use work-from-home uniforms

• How I organize my physical workspace for maximum productivity

• What goes in to my morning routine (Related episode: How to create your perfect morning routine)

• And lots more!

But I want to start off by emphasizing: everyone’s work from home flow is different because we’re all unique human beings. What works for one person may not feel good to another. Some of us are morning people, some of us are night owls. Some of us don’t like working weekends, some of us are most productive on weekends.

So when listening to this episode, take the tips that will work for you and leave the rest.

Are You Self-Sabotaging Your Web Design Business?

Are You Self-Sabotaging Your Web Design Business?

You started your creative business because you wanted to do creative work. You wanted to make things, design things, code things and get PAID for it. When your first started your business, the prospect of getting paid to do what you love was suuuper exciting, right?

What's not so exciting is realizing that your usual business day will be about 30% creative work, 70% business tasks.

For weirdos like me who geek out over systems and tools, the techy-admin side of business is actually really fun. (I know- I'm crazy!)

But for the majority of creatives and designers out there, doing all the business-y stuff like replying to emails, writing blog posts, scheduling social media and organizing the client process is hard work.
