Alright - Let’s Fuel Up:

Yes this is a random picture of my burger. Why?

Well it’s probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. Its called The Manduka Burger. I wait every year for this at the Christmas markets and savour every moment.

Anyway back to the Newsletter.

During the time I consumed this beautiful burger I received this message:

“How important is it to be able to create content as a Business Owner AND how important is it for my team?”

This really resonated with me as I have been banging this drum for a while now as I believe the game is changing and we need to adapt to the NEW way of going about our business.

In this Newsletter, I thought it would be a good idea to expand and share how we can adopt this content first approach and make it easier to understand why and what we need to do.

Why do we need to adopt content creation in our businesses?

Today we are in a fast-paced digital jungle, standing out is tough. That's where content creation swoops in and does the job. Why?

Because it's not just about having a product or service anymore. It's about creating a buzz, telling a story, and engaging your audience.

Forming a connection puts you ahead of the competition by building trust and authenticity. Long story short, If we're not on the content creation train, we might be missing out on a massive opportunity.

Currently valued at $250B, the creator economy is expected to reach $480B by 2028. This growth is fuelled by increased cash flow from brands and higher demand for content.

If this stat doesn’t make us STOP and THINK I don’t know what does.

Building hybrid sales and marketing teams.

The way I have come to think about this is to imagine this: peanut butter and jam. Both are pretty awesome on their own, but together? Magic happens.

Well it does for me 😂 It’s all about food today.

For me this is like combining sales and marketing into a hybrid powerhouse team. Gone are the days of these departments working solo. By blending their strengths, sharing insights, and singing to the same tune, we create this dynamic force that's unbeatable.

It's like having the Avengers assemble, but for business! So i see this hybrid model as a massive YES, let's mix it up and watch the magic happen.

Make our teams business influencers.

Being an influencer isn't just about Insta fame.

It’s about empowering our team and letting them bring in value. It’s about owning your expertise and spreading the word.

Think of it this way: each team member is a walking billboard for our brand. When they're out there, talking shop, sharing insights, and being awesome at what they do, they're not just employees – they're business influencers!

And who wouldn't want to be a part of that? Who wouldn’t want that for their business.

How do I get myself and my team to do this?

You need to start with training and strategy. Invest in the right areas and bring in the people to help your team.

Alongside getting the basics like:

- Choosing the right platforms
- Good landing pages
- Optimising profiles
- Content ideas
- Writing & Video

You also need to:

- Build / Adopt systems
- Automate tasks
- Hire smart
- Document
- Utilise AI

These are key areas for consideration and they can go into much more depth.

The question to ask yourself is: Are you are going to be a late adopter or get in front of the competition?

We have recently dropped a FREE Facebook Playbook for our community and subscribers. You can get access to them below:
