Content Writing Creative Flow

Content consistency – building your tribe & brand

Content consistency is really important to your community! Those lovely folks who connected with something you did and want more – regularly. They want the promise of what you offered and the security of knowing you’ll be around to keep the goods coming.  It’s the ongoing story of who you are and what your business is offering and forms an integral part of your ongoing brand story.

Artists have a natural rhythm of consistent expression that allows them to create a body of work. No matter what medium they use, there is a natural flow of mark making or creative expression visible in their work. It’s an unspoken rhythm that their audience engage with. It’s their story or brand on canvas, their interpretation of what they see and experience.

Marketing, content/blog writing is also positioned within the realm of the artist and requires the same consistent mark marking to express your brand vision. Located within the realm of the artist could explain why we often struggle with the inspiration or motivation to keep our marketing momentum consistent and moving. Being caught up in the cogs of business can often make it hard to stop and be creative.

A great example of content rhythm is Australian Boss Drover exhibition at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art by Artist Robert MacPhersons.

The works are portraits of Australian Boss Drovers each consisting of ink and stain on paper. What makes this installation so powerful is not any one individual image, but the consistent rhythm that MacPherson maintained over the 18 years creating 2400 individual A3 drawings.

Sounds crazy huh!

His mark making and consistency of the subject tells an ongoing story, much like that of content writing. Although an extreme example, it highlights the impact of consistent content in any form.

 

What does your content consistency look like over the past 2 years? What crazy beats of rhythm would we find? Would you have a full body of work that showcases your brand story?

 

All social media platforms are a form of art and artistic expression and we are curators of our feeds. Your business is an expression of an idea! To showcase what you do you need to get creative about how you tell your story – consistently.

 

It’s not your logo that tells people what you do, it’s every message or contact that you have with them that tells the story of your brand and vision.

Content Consistency is more powerful than talent!

Consistency also falls into the realm of community and provides a sense of belonging, connection and acceptance, allowing your audience to feel part of something and to connect with a brand that understands and adds value to their life.

That’s why great, creative, inspiring content being sent out regularly to your tribe is key to business success.

Need help getting your content consistency flowing?

Here are 6 great tips to get your creative rhythm moving;

  • Keep a small writing journal handy and jot down all great content ideas as they flow. They often happen when we are not thinking about them and can be triggered by our everyday environment.
  • Cut out inspiring words or pictures from newspapers or magazines and glue them in your journal. One word can easily be expanded into 3 paragraphs. Three paragraphs is content! It’s enough to create connection.
  • Do that! Take one word that relates to a topic about your business and write 3 paragraphs. It does not need to be published and it will only take 10 minutes. By the end of the week you will have your blogging mojo moving.
  • Create an alter ego to help you along the way. You can base it on a character you already know and love, your ideal customer or enhance an aspect of yourself that’s a crowd pleaser.
  • Write a sentence a day for 10 days. By the end of the challenge you will be keen to keep going. Choose an easy theme to write around like ‘dogs’. Have fun with your writing and let your personality shine through.
  • Once a year pop along to the local writer’s festival and do a day course with an industry expert. It will have nothing to do with business but you will learn a lot about writing and get inspired. I do this once a year at the Byron Bay Writers Festival. This year I was lucky to have a session with magazine feature writer David Lesser, and I walked away floating on creative air.
