Your Content Creator Archetype is …
The Strategist
As a Strategist, you feel right at home in the planning process, which means you’re very intentional about the content you put out. Before any of your content goes live, you’ve already ensured each post flows seamlessly into the next.
To others, it seems like you’re always five steps ahead in the content creation process, tactically planting seeds for what’s coming next.
What Works (and Doesn't Work) For Strategists
Designing full campaigns
Executing large-scale projects is almost intuitive to The Strategist in you because you bring a well-thought-out plan and perspective from each aspect from start to finish.
Embracing automation
One of your biggest strengths is possessing the foresight to think your processes all the way through. This makes it a no-brainer for you to automate what you can with a one-time setup and simply maintain it as needed.
Outsourcing
Seamlessly setting up strategic systems is where you shine, so it makes sense to spend most of your time there instead of getting bogged down in the minutia of execution, which you don't necessarily enjoy.
Creating content on the fly
Most of the time, you’re at your best when you can create content with a clear plan—the exception being a rare occasion you need to get out of your head.
Pre-made content calendars
You might have cringed just reading that. When other people tell you what you should be creating, it doesn’t feel right. Collaboration is a-ok, as long as you’re involved in the planning process.
Disruptions
As a Strategist, there’s intention behind everything you do. Creating content just for the sake of getting something published feels unsatisfying, and therefore provides zero motivation for you.
Biggest thing to watch out for?
AS a strategist
As a Strategist, you’re at home when you’re in strategic mode. But at times, you may need to take a step back.
Creating overly ambitious content plans that no one person, even someone with a small team, could hope to execute can set you up for failure. When you’re planning your content, keep your resources in mind.
Ensure you have the time and energy to execute those strategies—or that you’ve called in people who can.

Here’s how to do it:
- Start by deciding what offer you want to promote

“The planner helped me get clear on my big business goals and also structure out my content accordingly. I also now have a much better idea of how to repurpose content and all of the other steps I need to consider. I feel so much less stressed and overwhelmed with my content and am getting more engagement since I am pushing out my content more consistently and in more places on social media. I love how it walks you through the whole process from start to finish. Never before had I considered coming up with monthly themes or tying my content directly to all my my business and revenue goals. Now it seems obvious but this kit has really changed the way I look at my blog and my business!”
