You’re not lazy. You’re running a whole business. Of course content feels like a second (okay, fifth) full-time job.
The problem isn’t you — it’s that you’ve been handed strategies built for influencers, not entrepreneurs. Endless reels. Daily posts. Hashtag spreadsheets from 2021.
You don’t need more content. You need smarter content.
Let’s simplify things.
What Content Marketing Actually Means in 2025
Content isn’t just about going viral. It’s about showing up with purpose. It includes:
- Social media posts
- Email newsletters
- Blog articles
- Lead magnets
- Reels and stories
At its core, content marketing is simply communicating your value in a way that builds trust and drives action.
The 4 Types of Content Every Entrepreneur Needs
Instead of throwing spaghetti at the content wall, build a balanced strategy using these four content pillars:
1. Visibility Content
Helps new people discover you.
- SEO blog posts
- Reels and TikToks
- Shareable infographics
2. Value Content
Establishes your authority.
- How-to guides
- Tips and educational posts
- Client results or before/afters
3. Connection Content
Builds relationships and trust.
- Behind-the-scenes
- Origin stories
- Vulnerable or relatable moments
4. Conversion Content
Moves people to take action.
- Launch announcements
- Clear CTAs
- Client testimonials with offers
If you’re only doing one or two of these, it’s no wonder content feels like it’s not working.
How to Batch Like a Boss
The easiest way to stop dreading content creation? Batch it.
Melissa’s “3-Hour Content Sprint” looks like this:
- Hour 1: Brainstorm 10 post ideas based on the 4 pillars
- Hour 2: Write 5–7 captions or outlines
- Hour 3: Design graphics, schedule, and done
Bonus: Use templates in Canva or grab a plug-and-play caption pack to make it even faster.
Melissa’s Insider Tip: The Content Loop Strategy
One idea. Multiple uses.
Here’s how to repurpose like a pro:
- Blog post → Instagram carousel → story → reel → newsletter
- Client testimonial → graphic → story → CTA post
This keeps your message consistent and stretches your content further without burning out.
Most entrepreneurs are sitting on a goldmine of content they’ve never reused.
What to Measure (and What to Ignore)
Spoiler: likes are not the goal.
Instead, track:
- Saves and shares
- DMs and replies
- Website clicks and form submissions
Use that feedback to double down on what’s working — not spiral about what’s not.
