This is one of the most common questions from brand owners every week: "I know I should be posting on social media, but I don't know what to post, where to post, or how to post because I'm so busy running my business." My name is Brad Smith owner of AutomationLinks and I've been helping people automate their businesses for the last 10 years. Let's get started.
Using ChatGPT for Content Ideas
First, go to ChatGPT and use the keyword planner prompt. Tell it what you want to talk about (like marketing), and it will suggest keywords categorized as:
- Low competition
- Medium competition
- High competition
Creating Your Content
There are three options:
- Create one video per week
- Record audio on your phone and transcribe it
- Create a blog post
The goal is to work on one piece of content that can be distributed across all networks.
Content Distribution Process
Take your video/audio/blog content
- Download the transcription
- Plug it into ChatGPT
- Create social media posts from the transcription
- Use the calendar strategy for X, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google My Business, blog and newsletter
- One piece can turn into over 700 pieces of content
Automation Steps
- Copy your transcription
- Go to ChatGPT
- Tell it to "become an expert social media copywriter"
- Ask it to create social media posts using your transcription
- Use software like Hype Fury or Go High Level to schedule posts
Pro Tips
You can either:
- Get a freelancer/virtual assistant (Use Fiverr for that) to take your pillar content and create all social media content using your calendar
- Spend a few hours a week doing it yourself
The key is keeping it on brand and using your exact transcriptions.
What should I post on social media?
Create educational, helpful content for your audience using keywords from ChatGPT's planner. Don't focus on selling or talking about how great you are - focus on helping your audience.
How can I create content efficiently?
Create one pillar piece of content (video, audio, or blog) weekly and use the transcription to create multiple posts across different platforms. This one piece can turn into over 700 pieces of content.
Should I handle social media myself or hire help?
You can either spend a few hours weekly doing it yourself or get a virtual assistant/freelancer to manage the process using your content calendar and brand voice.
Where should I start if I'm new to social media?
Start with low-competition topics to build your audience without competing with established players in your space. Use ChatGPT to identify these topics.
How do I maintain consistency in posting?
Use automation tools like Hype Fury or Go High Level to schedule your posts, and follow a content calendar that covers all your platforms (X, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google My Business, blog, and newsletter).
