17 tips for easier content creation Tiny Course Empire Podcast

    • Marketing

“It takes me forever to write a single email.”
That’s what my friend Tish said when I casually mentioned I had written 10 emails that morning.
It’s a complaint I hear from other online business owners, too. Content is such a critical part of doing business online, but yet we struggle to create it consistently.
Sound familiar?
In this episode of the Tiny Course Empire podcast, I have 17 tips I’ve learned since I fired up my keyboard for the first time. Some will help you write faster, some will help you write better, and some will maybe just give you food for thought.
But if you’re a writer (and you are) they’ll all help you improve your craft in some way.
Prefer a transcript? Here you go!
What you’ll learn in this episode:

How to make course creation (or slide decks, or planners) take way longer than it should
Why your high-school writing teacher was all wrong
Two lessons I learned from fiction writers that will make your content more compelling
The real reason you need to proofread your writing (and it’s not because people will judge you for your typos)
The number one way to never run out of ideas
What the productivity gurus can teach us about good writing habits

Resources mentioned:

Tish Lee podcasts about body positivity at Shining Self
Stephen King’s “On Writing” is one of the best books about the craft whether you’re publishing blog posts or trashy romance novels
Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” is a masterclass on how to be more creative
Cal Newport recommends productive meditation for solving problems. I find it useful for being more creative.
Shower Thoughts on Reddit is a fun diversion (but don’t spend too much time there)
