The text trap
If you think about your content strategy in terms of writing blog posts you're going to have a tough time of it.
Writing something every week, let alone every day is hard; I only know one person who does it well.
Show "and" tell
Even if you're familiar with the Iceberg theory and can write like Hemingway, why not literally show as well as tell?
If you sell physical product, hell even if you sell services, a great image can replace the need for up to three blog posts!
Technology makes it easy
Use your smart phone, capture appropriate imagery, send it to the right platform, have it pulled automatically onto your website.
In the 90 minutes it took me to figure out and structure this post, you could have published 18 times!
