According to the Content Marketing Institute, content marketing is defined as:

“A marketing technique of creating and distributing relevant and valuable content with the objective of driving profitable customer action.”

By creating and distributing relevant and valuable content you bring potential customers to you. This blog post itself is an example of content marketing.

Why has content become so important?

A few years ago people were bandying about the saying “content is king” and brands that used content marketing were excelling. Fast forward to 2024 and if you aren’t doing content marketing in some form or another you’re going to struggle to see any success on social media.

A big driver of this is that social media algorithms love quality, relevant content and it’s one of the best tactics to work with the algorithms for 2024. Content also is a big reason people are on social media in the first place. If you are providing quality content, then it’s a win-win and you’re bound to increase both your engagement and followers.

Great content gets people to trust you. Research shows 80% of people prefer to get company information from articles rather than from adverts. Then there is the all important traffic to your website, not to mention your search engine rankings.

While content marketing is wider than social media marketing, in today’s modern world, social media is one of the most popular platforms for distributing content.

Social media marketing should fit within wider marketing efforts. So, if a business or charity has an existing content marketing strategy, then any efforts with content on social media should fit within this. However, it’s for small businesses and for many charities it’s rare for a robust content marketing to exist. If this is the case it’s possible to do a great job of content marketing on social alone.

How to craft a content strategy for your brand

There is a lot to think about when it comes to crafting a successful content strategy. We will go through them here but if you are a small business, don’t worry, we’ll share our top tips on content marketing on a shoestring at the end.

Planning and practicalities

It’s tempting to jump straight into the creative side of things, I mean who didn’t love getting the crayons out as a kid, but there are some important logistical considerations to think about first before you do anything.

1. Budget and resources

How much cash budget is there to pay content creators such as photographers, videographers or graphic designers? If the answer is not very much, then think about how much time you or a team members might have instead. But if this is the case, you’re also going to have to factor in the skills available. There’s no point building a content strategy around video if you don’t have anyone on the team with these skills. And you will have to factor in some budget for content creation software.

2. Governance and planning

Governance is a boring one but important. Develop a clear governance structure if you have multiple team members involved, or if you’re outsourcing content creation. Who needs to sign off drafts and also the final edit? Knowing this can save you time and money.

It also really helps to have a content planner. We love Trello for this as it’s really easy to set up an editorial workflow.

3. Practicalities

Where is your content going to live? If you’re going to use video is it going to be native (native content lives on the platform itself so you’d upload a video file directly to your Facebook post for example) or is it going to be housed somewhere like Vimeo/YouTube. Native video often performs better and can help maximise engagement and reach.

You also need to factor in which platforms you are using to distribute your content because each platform has different requirements for size of photos/graphics or video length.

Strategy and ideas

Once you’ve answered some of the above questions the answers can help guide you into the next phase when you can come up with some clear ideas based on what you know about your strategy so far. There are some important considerations here.

1. Your audience

Your personas should always sit at the heart of any content strategy. Ask yourself:

• What insights can you go on from your user personas?
• What do you know about their routines and habits?
• What content do they seem to respond to on social?
• What content are influencers sharing?
• What content are their favourite brands sharing?
• What content is trending?

2. Your sociable brand

Ensure that the content you share aligns with your brand’s persona and the sociable brand pie chart, where segment sizes dictate your content subjects. At Toogezer.com we publish articles covering various popular niches, including career advice, travel tips and gambling-related content such as slot reviews. Therefore, our shared content revolves around these topics to resonate with our audience.

3. Type of content

In this blog, we have focused up until now, predominantly on created content that your brand would make from scratch. However, curated content also plays an important role particularly if you’re a small business. Curated content is value-add content that has been produced by someone else. For example, an article from a newspaper, blog reviews of popular online casinos or a video from a thought leader in your space.

Sharing curated content is essential if you don’t have a big budget. A lot of businesses/charities don’t understand why they would share other people’s content but it’s a key component of any good content strategy. According to the Content Marketing Institute 82% of marketers embrace sharing a mix of their own and other people’s content on their social channels. Just don’t share content from your competitors!

4. Content purpose and format

The more you know about your audiences the more you should understand what content they want to see in terms of format, but also purpose.

Content generally either educates, entertains, informs or inspires. Help people to do something or learn something, entertain them in some way, help them have their finger on the pulse, or inspire them.

Purpose goes hand in hand with content format. There are various content formats:

• There is text-based content in the form of blogs, articles, quizzes.
• There is image-based content in the form of photos
• There is design-based content in the form of quotes, infographics, graphics
• There is video-based content in the form of video, live video, GIFs
• There is audio-based content in the form of radio shows, podcasts and live audio

It’s important to try and understand which your audiences will respond to but also which formats work best for your purpose. For example, some educational content supporting customers to use a product could work well as a video.

Our top tips for content on a shoestring

If you’re a small business or charity you may be feeling overwhelmed right now. But don’t worry. It’s possible to do a good job on a shoestring budget. Here are our top tips for managing a content strategy on a shoestring budget.

1. Audit what you already have

Make a list of all the created content you currently have first. This means you won’t duplicate effort and there may be content you can repurpose.

2. Only create ever-green content

Evergreen content is content that has a long shelf-life meaning it doesn’t date. Avoid creating anything that will date quickly. If you need to share content on breaking news or trends that will date then use curated content for this.

3. Recycle your content

When you do have evergreen content recycle it – share it multiple times, particularly on Twitter, but pull out a different point/quote each time to mix it up. A tiny percentage of your audience will see each tweet so don’t worry about doing this. You can share the same content in the same week on Twitter but avoid doing this on Facebook and LinkedIn and leave a longer gap between sharing. You shouldn’t ever share the same piece of content more than once on your Instagram feed, however, you can repurpose content for your Stories if you do it sparingly and mix up how you share it. For example, if you have a great photo for Stories share it with a quiz sticker over the top one week and later in the month use it in a completely different way by sharing it with different gifs and emojis.

4. Repurpose content

Brainstorm ideas around existing content, can some of it be consolidated into something meatier or could a meaty white paper be distilled into a blog series? Or could existing written content be turned into different formats – for example could you use a blog post to create a simple podcast?

5. Blend curated and created

If you’re short of resources but really want to host content on your website to drive traffic then try creating content from curated sources. No we don’t mean plagiarise! Try creating a blog post that pulls together links and a summary of great podcasts in your industry for example.

6. Try Stories formats

The great thing about Stories is that they are designed to be low-fi and fun. Some brands have even found that their super polished Stories don’t perform as well as the Stories they do off the cuff. This means they are cheap, you are only limited by your imagination.

7. Create templates

For visual content invest some time in creating simple templates for things like:

• Quotes
• Statements
• Product images

It’s time consuming upfront but then it makes it really easy to create consistent visual content throughout the year.

8. Trial some top tools

Our top digital tool recommendation is Canva. You can use it to create simple graphics and there are hundreds of designs to choose from. It works really well to create your templates. They also size everything for the platform you will use it for.

Animoto is a great and popular video editing tool but we recommend getting to grips with something like iMovie if you’re planning on working with videos that you need to edit regularly.

There are some really useful sites out there that have content you can use for free or have freemium options:

• Stock photos | While we don’t advocate using too many stock images Unsplash does have some great photos that you can use to work with if stuck. These can work well if you’re working with simple text over photo graphic visuals.
• Illustrations | Pixabay also has photos but it’s not as good for photos, it’s actually great for some basic vector/graphic images.
• Icons | The Noun Project has thousands of useful icons to use in your graphics (as do Canva but with Canva most of the best ones come with a charge).

9. Invest in some basic equipment

Having a tripod and a lapel mic can be a gamechanger for your video content. And you don’t have to spend a fortune. People just won’t watch a video that has bad sound and it will just drag your brand down.

We recommend investing £ on a ring LED light and a basic lapel mic for around £30 (there are loads in this price range). The light also functions as a tripod and is brilliant if the natural light isn’t great.

If you follow these top tips, even if you’re a small charity or business just getting off the ground you’ll be able to get a content strategy off the ground.

10. Get friendly with your analytics

The smaller your budget and resources the more you need to be concerned that you are investing in the right way. You will need to make sure you are tracking how your content performs so you can build key insights over time into which content your audiences respond to.

It’s a great idea to share only curated content for the first few weeks and to track which tweets/posts perform best and which come out bottom. These insights can help guide your created content strategy so you get the most bang for your buck.

1. Use the right software.

To work effectively you are going to need the right tech and tools. You will need the following:

1. Software for virtual meetings. Whether you use Slack video calls, Skype, Google Hangouts or Zoom, you are going to need some face to face time at key points. You can use phone conferencing but being able to see people is better. It’s better if this software enables you to share screens as this is a useful feature.
2. Software to communicate. Email isn’t great for this in our opinion, it has major limitations. Tools like Slack or MS Teams are much better so if you aren’t using these tools yet now could be a great time to set them up. They are much better than email for collaborative communication. Conversations are much more fluid and work better in real-time. These tools replace much more the ‘tap on the shoulder’ questions you get in the office and they facilitate better and quicker conversations and resolutions of issues. They can also replace those water-cooler moments that you would have with colleagues in an office that don’t work so well on email.
3. A collaborative project management tool. You need some tech to organise and structure your work, assign tasks etc. Our favourite tool is Trello but we really like the look of Monday.com which is also great for managing teams if you’re a line manager and need a better line of sight over your team tasks.
4. Collaborative document software. whether it’s slides, documents or spreadsheets you will need to work together on some outputs so whether it’s Microsoft 365 or Google Suite it doesn’t matter as long as it’s cloud based and is easy for multiple people to work on the same version.

   

2. Make the most of your meetings

When everyone is working remotely you tend to have less meetings. So use this time together wisely as it won’t happen as often.

Firstly, it’s crucial that people are prepared for the meeting. Because you’re likely to have less face to face time you don’t want to waste any of this time catching people up. Make sure everyone has done any pre-reading in advance so time isn’t wasted.

Secondly, really think about whether a meeting is needed. While remote working is great, and issues can be resolved simply through Slack conversations, there are definitely some instances where face to face time has its advantages. These include:

1. Brainstorming ideas.
2. Debating and agreeing complex decisions.
3. Handling anything sensitive or giving negative feedback.
4. Finalising outputs.

Before having a face to face virtual meeting consider whether it’s really needed, but if it falls into the above 4 categories it probably is but don’t waste time on things that you could easily do in Slack in between meetings.

3. Communicate more cleverly

You take things for granted when you meet people in real life. It’s much easier and quicker to build relationships. When you’re with someone in a room there is rich communication that you take for granted – facial expressions, body language etc. You can give someone a nurturing arm rub or pick up on tense body language and act accordingly. These become trickier when you work remotely and only meet online. There are some things you can do to help with this.

Using emojis and gifs might seem silly but actually these visual methods of communication are excellent at replacing those in-the-room cues. Use them to convey confusion, happiness, etc.

Even if you can see someone on a virtual meeting it’s still hard to read facial expressions and body language so you can verbalise these. “I’ve got a bit of a confused face over here John what exactly did you mean when you said x I just want to make sure I 100% understand?”. It’s also a great idea to reward participation by verbally acknowledging people more because, again, this is harder when people aren’t together they need more of a confidence boost and a pat on the back.

Those sneaky office politics that are bad enough when everyone is in the same room can also be also be magnified when the team are working remotely on projects. You can also get people on the team that don’t believe remote working can work. Right at the start, be smart about addressing these. Ask everyone on the team to share issues or concerns they have about the project and managing to meet the goals. Make it clear there is no agenda and it’s a safe space to share. Get people to be truthful but tactful. Once you have the information try and use it to your advantage. If someone has put forward lots of negativity about their belief in the project working get them to play the role of always having to come up with positive ways forward when things get stuck!

4. Give yourself a bit more time to accomplish your goal

When working in remote teams, particularly if many team members are part-time, things always takes longer. Meetings in particular should be scheduled for a little longer than in-person meetings. Take into account it’s always more challenging to get everyone together so there can be delays with organising sessions as well. It’s best to set meetings as far in advance as possible. At the start map out realistic goals and map out goals for each working session as well.

To avoid derailing working sessions it’s a great idea to schedule some catch up team hangouts where you can just catch up, chat and have some banter. It’s great for team bonding and will help build good working relationships as well as save your work sessions from being hijacked with chat about people’s weekends. So build in time for this as well. Whether they happen over lunchtime or coffee time just make sure everyone knows how to access a ‘digital coffee break’. We find that jumping on virtual meeting software over lunch can work really well.

5. Assign clear roles and responsibilities

You can help manage the above complexities, and mitigated likely problems, by dispersing roles and responsibilities.

When collaborating in remote teams it can be a bit like herding cats, particularly when different people are online at different times. In our opinion, it’s not enough to have a single project manager or lead, which is traditionally considered the norm. When everyone is working remotely it can be a struggle for them to manage everything. When in remote working sessions some people start zoning out in ways they don’t in face to face meetings, or start chatting more than normal because they’re not in the office, for example.

Assigning roles to different people in your virtual meetings can help. The following roles can work well:

1. The host. It’s even more important to have a clear meeting lead than with meetings offline.
2. The timekeeper. Because you tend to meet less often, and because people can start feeling a bit disconnected, meetings can turn into a bit of a chatfest so strict timekeeping is important, delegate this to someone to really push things long.
3. The facilitator. Virtual meetings are more complex so having a designated facilitator can help. Their role is to do things like monitor faces and body language more actively to check in as to whether people have understood and asking them to play back/summarise or to bring in people that are quiet or to check in with people that look stressed.
4. The scribe to take notes, summarise decisions and share actions from virtual meetings. This often happens in offline meetings but it’s even more important for them to play back and summarise decisions because virtual meetings are often a bit more challenging and less frequent. This role can be rotated.

Our recommendation is to also disperse some of the responsibilities outside of meetings to give people clear roles and responsibilities that delegate some project management elements to everyone on the team. These are some roles that can be delegated:

• An overall project sponsor that’s a senior team member that has enough seniority to be able to break stalemates that can occur in the project.
• A designated tech lead who can support if people have issues with the software you are using and to share tips on how to get the most out of the tools/pick up if people aren’t using them effectively.
• Someone responsible for documents, logging version control and filing in the correct place.

Malaga, Spain

Average winter temperature: 18°c

During the summer, the young ones flock to Malaga to make the most of the nightlife and the beach, but this southern Spain city quietens down in the winter months. With the crowds dispersed visitors are left with empty, relaxed beach settings and a city to explore all to themselves. The sea is a little too cold to swim, but sitting on the beach with local Spanish tapas and wine is definitely up there as a way to pass the time.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Average winter temperature: 13°c

With its colourful fishing villages full of charm this stretch of coastline is perfect for a winter weekend break. As a UNESCO site it is still a popular destination in the winter, but much quieter and relaxed than when sharing it with the summer crowds. If you have time, be sure take a trip along the coast’s only road and see the spectacular views along the cliff edge while you’re here too.

Lagos, Portugal

Average winter temperature: 20°c

In Lagos there’s no need to snuggle up by the fire with average temperatures still around 20°c in winter. Some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe are in this part of Portugal so it’s not difficult to see why the country is so popular all year round. Lagos, like the other destinations, empties of tourists during the winter, so it’s the perfect time to explore the golden beaches. If you look hard enough you can even find a secluded cove to chill by the sea in peace.

Seville, Spain

Average winter temperature: 12°c

Seville is a little cooler than the other destinations, at around 12°c during the day time, but there is a lot to see around the city, making it perfect weather for sightseeing. The must see Alcazar is the oldest active royal palace in Europe, and the gothic cathedral, with its height of 42 meters, is only beaten in height by The Vatican’s St. Peter’s and London’s St. Paul’s. After a day of exploring check out one of the many rooftop bars around the city and take in the nighttime views.

When do you know it’s safe to quit your job? Well, in truth you have to realize that it’s never going to be safe. However, life is all about risk management, and that means making sure that you have everything you need to really ensure that you don’t have too many worries when you do quit.

First and foremost, if you’re not going to leave and start a business, you will naturally need to make sure that you already have work lined up. If you can’t do that, then you will need to have a plan on how the bills will get paid while you look for work. Unless you live at home with your parents, you’re going to have bills. This is even more important if you’re not single and you have a family that’s counting on you. It’s very important to ensure that your family’s life isn’t affected by a snap decision. Quitting a place can take a lot of emotional energy, but if you really feel that you can move on to bigger and better things, then you definitely want to do that.

Networking with people that can tell you about word of mouth opportunities is definitely good — but don’t wait till you’re fed up to do it! Far too often people get into a job and stay there for a few years, only to find that they really didn’t want to be there in the first place! So they wait for the right moment to jump ship, which never really comes. Why? They didn’t take the time from the beginning to build themselves a network that they can fall back on.

Ensure that when you do leave your job, that you leave on good terms. You never know what life will bring to your door, and that means that you might have to be eligible for re-hire. It can be difficult to go back to the place where you used to work, but it can be done. It just depends on how you left. If you don’t give two weeks notice, then you won’t be eligible for re-hire. In addition, if you badmouth everyone on your way out, then you’re not going to be welcome back at the company — even if you are technically eligible to work at the company again.

Overall, these tips should serve you well in your search — why not get started today?

So, what can you do to help your child get ahead at school? Well, the first thing that you’re going to want to do is identify what their strengths and weaknesses are. It’s pretty tempting to just ignore the strengths and only focus on the weaknesses, but you have to know what your child’s strengths are so that you can continue to encourage them. Strengths in education are like muscle sin fitness. If they aren’t constantly trained, they’re going to become weak!

Weaknesses don’t have to be weakness forever. You should be able to work with your child on a solid and strategic plan. You cannot pressure them to make results overnight — all that will do is give them unnecessary stress and cause them to panic. It’s better to step back and make sure that they have actually everything that they need to succeed in life, rather than just assuming they do at school. For example, you might think that your child can hear the teacher properly, but they may have already suffered some hearing loss. Likewise with vision — if your child doesn’t have glasses and they need them, you will want to make an appointment with the doctor right away.

The main takeaway here is consistency — you want to ensure that your child is constantly studying. Distractions can abound in a study environment, and that’s really not what you want to experience for your child. The more that you can do to improve their learning environment at home, the more chances they’ll have at doing better in school.

Of course, you don’t want to stop the learning process — instead of letting them forget all about school in the summer, you need to find ways to make learning fun — why not get started today?

So, what causes this addiction? Wanting more. When gamblers lose their deposited money, they are tempted into investing more in order to chase a win. The same thing happens when gamblers win money – they want to double the amount, which eventually leads to a huge loss.

Luckily, the awareness is huge and many organizations have been created with the sole aim of stopping the gambling addiction. Each casino operator offers a self-exclusion option for casino players that cannot control their urge for gambling more. If you’re having the same problem visit https://casino.netbet.ie/ and see how you can exclude yourself from online gambling sites.

What Is a Self-Exclusion Process?

First of all, in order to make the decision to self-exclude, you have to be aware of your gambling problem. If you’re spending more than your gambling budget, you are developing an addiction. This is when you should react. If you cannot decide for yourself whether you have a problem or not, you can contact GamCare. In fact, the definition of self-exclusion is to voluntarily request your gambling provider to forbid you to access any of their services. So, when you want to self-exclude yourself from a casino, you should contact the operator and exclude yourself for a certain length of time. Usually, the exclusion period varies from 6 months to a year, although you can request to be excluded longer.

How Does the Self-Exclusion Process Work?

Once you have successfully excluded yourself from a certain online casino, the operator is required to close your account, remove your personal details from any database and return the money you have on your casino account. This process cannot be undone once finished, meaning you cannot possibly access that casino until the requested period expires.

Moreover, you can opt to exclude yourself from all casinos that offer the same type of gambling, be it sports betting, arcades, bingo or casino gambling. As we’re interested in self-exclusion from online gambling sites, you should learn about the GAMSTOP, a multi-operator facility that includes a huge number of online casinos. When you request your self-exclusion at GAMSTOP, you will be automatically banned from all sites that offer the same gambling type. Meaning, you will singlehandedly exclude yourself from all the operators registered with GAMSTOP.  In addition, you can download the Site Blocker app that blocks your access to gambling sites.

Is the Self-Exclusion Effective in Reality?

Research done on the subject of addictions has proven that being away from your addiction for a longer period can significantly help you stay away from it longer. Just with deciding to self-exclude, you have made the first step towards your salvation, as you have acknowledged your problem and you have noticed that it has a bad influence on your life. It is also essential that you admit this problem to your friends and family, and seek professional help. Combining all of that will have a favourable psycho-social effect on you.

You don’t have to live your life that way. We say that a lot, but with these tips you can overcome social anxiety.

First and foremost, you shouldn’t think that you have to fight social anxiety alone. Finding a support group is really the best way to make absolutely sure that you’re going to be able to overcome social anxiety over time. Opening up to someone else that is going through the same issues that you’re going through is definitely a good thing. You have to be ready to at least confide to someone that’s having the same problems as you are. There’s no shame in reaching out for help. How will you get stronger if your mind is an island?

From here, you might want to keep a diary. It’s better to keep a running log of your thoughts and feelings instead of just keeping them bottled up. This can trigger anxiety attack son it sown as you start thinking that there’s no way that anyone could ever appreciate the contributions that you make to this world. That’s not true either — if you really thought about it, you could probably think about three or four things that you’re really good at.

Of course, if these tips don’t work out for you, then you might have social anxiety to the point where only a qualified medical professional can step in. This might not be what everyone needs, but if you do find yourself slipping further and further away from your social goals, you might need to see a therapist and possibly a psychiatrist to get more help with your problem. Medication is just one solution to explore, and it doesn’t make you weak at all for turning to it. Why not check out your options today?

There’s a right way and a wrong way to start a business. The wrong way would be to just dive in without having any idea of what you actually want to do. Far too often people are in a financial crunch and they think that running a business would be better money as well as more freedom. You have to understand that once you quit your job, you’re the boss and that means that everything is essentially your responsibility. You get to scoop up a hundred percent of the praise, but you also get stuck with one hundred percent of the blame too. That’s a point that a lot of would-be business owners skip over.

Before you do anything else, you should make sure that you actually start a business plan. This might not be a formal business plan, but any planning that you can do before the big leap is definitely a good thing. Figure out what products and/or services you can offer to the audience of your choice. You might even need to look around at your competition to see what they’re offering and how you can get into the same field s them. Reaching out and building a network professionally is a good way to see what will be involved as you make the switch to entrepreneurial life.

Getting a great mentor can help you sidestep a lot of issues in your company, because you won’t have to go in blind so to speak. Your mentor should be someone that is already running a business, or retired after running a business. Someone that’s coming up alongside you can be good to bounce ideas off of, but they shouldn’t be your main teacher — in fact, they might be making the same mistakes as you!

The best thing that you can do for yourself is to give yourself enough time and enough savings to enter the business world on your terms rather than having to make moves out of desperation — that’s the best way to get started!

If you visit the Istrian peninsula you will have a chance to dive to the shipwrecks of the sunken ferry called “Baron Gautsch.” An underwater mine was the reason for its sank in 1914.

Although Dubrovnik is well known for its beautiful architecture and ancient history, it offers a lot of diving sites to its visitors. You can dive to the merchant ship Taranto which sank in 1943. Around the shipwreck you can also see a lot of its cargo and engine parts. The great underwater life is also very interesting and you will have a lot of chances to make some of the best pictures in your life.
