5 Ways to Save Time in Creating Content

Posted On 18 Jan, 2017 by Vishal V

Good content creation is one of the most important things that you can do for your business. However, it can be a tedious and time consuming process.

The below 5 ways would help you save time in creating content:

1. Plan the work, work the plan: Have a plan in place with clearly defined goals and steps right from researching to editing, and then work it out without wavering from it.

2. Eliminate distraction: Do yourself a favor and lock yourself up, set the cell phone on flight mode, and if possible stay offline. You won’t believe the amount of work you can do in a short amount of time. In his seminal book “Deep Work- :Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” Cal Newport has beautifully described the power of uninterrupted concentration in creative work. Try this approach, you would be amazed with the results.

3. Get professional editors: They say God created Adam and Eve, but tailors made ladies and gentlemen. Same applies for content creators and editors. You might be great at creating content, but the polish and refinement a professional editor would bring to your work would do wonders to its quality.

4. Don’t copy, steal: “Good artists copy, great artists steal” when Picasso said that, he implied that those “steal”, take the concept and inspiration, and then do a better job than even the original itself. So you need not start from the scratch.

5. Choose quality over quantity: Given a choice, always choose quality over quantity. If you can’t create something great every day, do it once a week but make great and relevant content.

These tips should save you a lot of time. But whatever you do, no matter how much time it takes, remember the golden rule: Never compromise on quality.

When it comes to content marketing, remember the following axiom:

“You’re better off with a kick-ass half than a half-assed whole.”

-David Heinemeier Hansson
