[398] What kind of content should you be creating during a global crisis? 0

Mar 27, 2020

Struggling to know what sort of content you should be creating during the current global crisis and worried about saying the wrong thing? Wondering how to create content about your business and keep selling during the Coronavirus pandemic?

With things changing on a daily basis - it's hard to know what to say - let alone how to plan your content.

In this podcast I share practical advice and guidance about how to navigate your way through the current global crisis and how to go about thinking about your content during this pandemic.

I explain why you mustn’t be afraid to lean in and talk about the C-Word. Plus why you should definitely switch off the scheduler.

I explain why you mustn’t assume that people aren’t buying and why you must keep selling - and how to do it without appearing insensitive or spammy. Plus how to position yourself so that people understand WHY you are selling to avoid those ‘neggy’ comments.

I also tell you why adapting and selling now will put your business in a much stronger position for when the crisis is over.

I'd love to know what you think.
