7 Content Creator Time-Saving Tips
As a content creator, you've probably recognized that it can take a lot of time to plan, organize, create and schedule your content for social media.
The good news is you're not alone! I recently surveyed my audience and the #1 struggle they stated when it comes to content creation is time. Whether you have a limited amount of time to sit down and create or find the process incredibly overwhelming and time-consuming, you're in the right spot!
Over the past 6 years, I've consistently created content online, posting new content at least once a week on my blog, youtube, podcast, email, and/or social media. When I started, I was not only doing it all myself but also working a 9 to 5 and raising a newborn. I had to learn pretty quickly how to create content efficiently, so I wasn't spending all my time behind the scenes of my business.
These tips have helped my clients go from spending 4-6 hours a week on content creation to just 2 and now I'm sharing my top 7 tips with you.
In episode 32 of The Brandmerry Podcast, I'm sharing, "7 Content Creator Time-Saving Tips," so you can start to more effectively create and share content, show up consistently and build your profitable online business.

How I never run out of ideas for content creation and what might be missing from your current content creation marketing strategy.
Tune in now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to hear the full episode and all the tips.

Setting Intentions in 2022
BY MICHELLE KNIGHT
As we prepare for the new year, organize our calendars, grab a planner and think about where we want to be at the end of 2022, there's one thing I want you to know.
Your intentions are everything.
I often find that changing the way I speak about certain things impacts how I approach them. So a few years ago I moved away from setting goals and started setting intentions. This practice has helped me completely transform my life and every year, since starting my business in 2016, make more revenue.
It might seem simple, but the impact is massive and in episode 28 of The Brandmerry Podcast, I'm sharing this process with you.
Today's episode is a repurposed episode from the beginning of 2021, but the information is just as relevant now as it was then.
I know you're going to get so much from this episode and no better time than now as we plan for the year ahead, something I hope you've carved out time for over the next week.
