Content planning the easy way

Content planning doesn’t always feel exciting. Maybe it’s felt like a chore in the past, or something you “should” do, but struggle to stick with. But what if planning your content could actually feel energising? 

In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel is flipping the script on content planning. Instead of a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach, she’s looking at how to plan in a way that works for you—one that taps into your natural strengths and makes content creation feel easier. 

Mel explores:  ✨ Why content planning is a game-changer (without boxing you in)  ✨ How understanding your Content Creator Archetype—Precision Planner, Free Spirit, Observer, or Collector—can transform the way you plan  ✨ Six powerful benefits of planning, including increased confidence, faster growth, better balance, and deeper audience connection 

And if you’re ready to stop winging it and start planning in a way that feels aligned, join me for the 90-Day Content Planning Session on 27 March 2025. This is usually just for The Content Effect members, but for a limited time, I’m opening it up to everyone! 

Tune in to discover how content planning can feel more natural, creative, and impactful.
