Organizing Your Content: Why I Created My Content Organization Hub
I believe content creation should be fun and impactful, but let’s be real: It can quickly turn into a time-consuming scavenger hunt. I found myself constantly searching for affiliate links, testimonials, Canva templates, and Google Docs whenever I sat down to write. That’s when I knew I needed a better system.
I asked myself: What if everything I needed was just a click away? That’s how the Content Organization Hub was born. I designed it specifically for organizing your content, from important links and resources to content pillars and marketing channels. This hub allows you to have everything in one place, so you can focus on what really matters – creating amazing content that drives results.
What Makes My Content Organization Hub Different?
Here’s the thing: It’s not just about storing your content ideas; it’s about building a streamlined system for turning those ideas into actionable content. Here’s why it’s so powerful:
1. Views That Make Content Creation Effortless
The Content Organization Hub offers multiple views, allowing you to see your data in different ways that make sense for your workflow. Let me explain what I mean. You can sort your stuff:
- By Content Type: Whether it’s a blog post, Instagram carousel, or email newsletter, you can view your data by type, making it easy to track what you’ve created, what’s in progress, and what’s yet to come.
- By Channel: Keep track of where your content will be published – Instagram, Pinterest, email, you name it. This view ensures you’re hitting all your platforms consistently.
- By Status: View the status of every piece of content, whether it’s an idea, in progress, or published. You’ll always know where each piece stands.
- Content Calendar: This view lets you see your content plan in a calendar format, making it easy to map out your publishing schedule and stay consistent.
This level of visibility means you’re never left guessing, and you always know exactly what’s happening with your content.
2. Tables That Keep Everything Organized
The Content Organization Hub is built around powerful tables that act as the backbone of your content system:
- Marketing Channels Table: Track where you’re posting, what content goes where, and how often you’re showing up. You’ll never miss a beat on any platform.
- Offers Table: Keep all your offers, promotions, and products organized in one place. This helps you strategically incorporate sales or offers into your content.
- Links Table: Store all your affiliate links, Canva templates, Google Docs, and other resources. You’ll have everything you need without having to dig through folders or emails.
- Collaborations Table: Manage collaborations with team members or external partners with ease. Track who’s responsible for what, and never drop the ball again.
- Content Table: This is where all your content lives – from ideas to completed pieces. It’s the heart of the hub, and it ensures you have a home for every piece of content.
- Metrics Table: Evaluate your content performance and track how well your posts are doing across different platforms.
These tables work together seamlessly, giving you a 360-degree view of your entire content strategy.
3. A Customizable Content Ideas Form
Lastly, let’s talk about those moments when inspiration strikes – in the shower, on a drive, or at 2 a.m. I’m the kind of person who gets my best ideas at the worst possible times. Instead of losing those ideas or jotting them down on a random sticky note that inevitably disappears, I created a Customizable Content Ideas Form for organizing your content ideas.
This form allows you to capture every idea quickly and easily. You can add details, link the idea to your offers or products, and even indicate which content pillar it belongs to. This way, you’re not just capturing random thoughts – you’re building a library of strategic content ideas ready to be developed. Every great thought gets recorded and organized. No more forgotten ideas or lost inspiration!
How the Content Organization Hub Fits into Your Content Creation Process
So, how do you actually use this hub? Let me walk you through a typical workflow:
Step 1: Capture Your Ideas
Not to be cheesy, but it all starts with that lightbulb moment. Instead of scrambling to find a place to jot down your idea, pull up the Content Organization Hub and use the Content Ideas Form to capture it. Add as much or as little detail as you want – just make sure it’s there.
Example: You have an idea for a blog post about Dubsado. You quickly enter the topic, link it to your Dubsado affiliate offer, and add any related testimonials you might want to include.
Step 2: Plan Your Content
When you’re ready to create, head to your Content Table and filter your view to see all your ideas in one place. Next, pick the ones you want to work on and start planning. The best part? The Content Organization Hub links everything you need – from offers and testimonials to Canva templates.
Step 3: Create with Ease
As you start creating, the Content Organization Hub helps you stay focused. Need to find that Dubsado testimonial? It’s linked right there. Want to check which Canva template you used before? It’s all at your fingertips. This eliminates the need to hunt for assets and lets you focus on crafting amazing content.
Step 4: Track and Measure
After you publish, track your content’s performance in the Metrics Table. This helps you understand what’s working, what’s not, and where to make adjustments in your content strategy.
How to Get Started With the Content Organization Hub
