As I’ve said before, content is the lifeblood of the internet. Without it, none of this “online stuff” works. From free content to paid content, video to written, and even audio content—it’s content, content, content, 24 hours a day!
But with the constant demand for fresh content, how are you supposed to keep up without burning out? Don’t worry; I’ve got you covered. Here are five simple ways to generate great content effortlessly. Let’s dive in!
1. Interview Content: Let Others Do the Talking
One of the easiest ways to produce content with minimal effort is by conducting interviews. Simply invite an expert or influencer in your niche and let them do most of the talking. You ask the questions; they provide the valuable insights. This approach not only offers fresh, engaging content but also brings a new perspective to your audience.
2. Guest Content: Leverage Others’ Expertise
Similar to interview content, guest content allows someone else to provide valuable information for your blog, YouTube channel, or podcast. In exchange, the guest gets to pitch their website, product, or services, and they gain authority by appearing on your platform. This strategy is a triple win: you get free content, your audience gets new insights, and the guest gains exposure and traffic.
3. Round-Up Content: Share the Best of the Web
Creating a “round-up” post is another fantastic way to generate content effortlessly. Search for 5 to 10 great articles, videos, or resources on a specific topic, then summarize and discuss each one briefly on your blog. Be sure to include links to the original content and reach out to the creators to let them know they’ve made your list. This can lead to more shares and engagement, as people love seeing their work recognized!
4. Exploding PLR: Repurpose Existing Content
Don’t underestimate the power of PLR (Private Label Rights) content! Many people see a PLR eBook and think it’s just that—an eBook. However, you can break it down into a series of blog posts, social media updates, or even a sequential email series. The key is to choose high-quality PLR content that fits your niche, then repurpose it in ways that add value to your audience.
5. Utilitarian Lists: Easy and Actionable
One of the quickest types of content to create is a “utilitarian list.” This is essentially a list of actionable tips, resources, or tools that your audience can use immediately. For example, “310 Subject Lines That Explode Open Rates” or “50 Positive Weight Loss Journey Case Studies.” These types of lists come together quickly and provide significant value, making them highly shareable.
Wrapping It Up: Keep Content Creation Simple
These five strategies have served me well over the years, and I hope they help you, too. Remember, content creation doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. By leveraging interviews, guest posts, round-ups, repurposed PLR content, and utilitarian lists, you can keep your content calendar full without breaking a sweat.
