Top 7 Content Creation Hacks to Save You Time

1. Batch Create Like a Pro

  • Step 1: Brainstorm a list of topics in one sitting (10-15 is a good start). Think about your audience’s pain points—what do they need help with? Or what’s currently trending in your industry/niche. 
  • Step 2: Write out rough outlines or key points for each topic. Don’t overthink it; write down whatever comes to your mind. Remember, this is just a rough draft, an outline.
  • Step 3: Dedicate another block of time to fleshing out these outlines. Categorize them. What type of content would they all be? Use this time to really solidify your topics. 
  • Step 4: once you have a strong list of content ideas, create them all at once. Depending on the amount of content you’re creating, you might need a day or two dedicated to this. 

  • Turn key points from a blog into Instagram carousel posts.
  • Transform a successful webinar or video into a blog article—transcripts are great!
  • Pull quotes from your articles and sprinkle them across LinkedIn (a platform that eats up bite-sized educational content)

3. Templates, Templates, Templates

  • Canva for social media graphics—design once, duplicate forever.
  • Google Docs for blog post structures—having a consistent format means you spend less time figuring out what goes where.
  • Email marketing tools like Kit offer pre-built templates—use them to quickly plug in your message and hit send.

4. Use AI Tools (Without Losing the Human Touch)

5. Use the Rule of 3: Plan, Publish, Pivot

  • Plan: Map out your content topics and formats ahead of time. Stick to themes that align with your business goals.
  • Publish: Put the content out there—don’t overthink or aim for perfection. Your audience connects with authenticity, not perfection.
  • Pivot: Analyze what works and what doesn’t. Check your analytics and adapt. Is one type of post getting more engagement? Great, do more of that.

6. Automate Whenever Possible

  • Tailwind: Perfect for scheduling social media posts with ease.
  • Kit: Automate email sequences so you can nurture leads even while you sleep.

7. Adopt a Minimalist Approach to Content Planning

  • Choose 1-2 primary platforms where your audience is most active.
  • Aim for quality over quantity—three impactful posts a week will outperform seven “boring” ones.
  • Schedule your planning and posting—don’t just wing it!
