Fall Forward with Best Laid Plans

When thinking about planning, we immediately think of New Year's resolutions. We use it as a way to adjust our practices and determine what can be improved to ensure success in the coming year. But, with the impact of COVID, why wait until the end of the year? Planning will give you a chance to take a step back and look at the big picture. This pandemic has given us the time to prioritize what matters most to us and that motivation can be used to get organized for Q4!  

Treat this strange period as a perfectly imperfect time to start planning content through to the end of the year as best as you can. By doing this, you’ll not only save yourself the stress of figuring out what content to use on the spot, but you’ll also be able to identify what works with your audience. Track engagement on certain social media posts and see how your clients are responding to different forms of communication. 

Additionally, map out what topics you want to discuss on your various platforms. Ask yourself what kind of blog posts you think would be important to your readers and figure out how to deliver them in an exciting way. Keep track of current trends and use innovative ways to share them with your clients; create a direction that appeals to your followers and find a way to showcase it.  Planning topics ahead of time will also help to create fluidity and consistency, helping to curate your community more.
