Creating Content with Confidence
Hitting that publish button can feel like launching yourself into the unknown. You pour your heart into a piece, but the fear of “Is this good enough?” lingers. This post is a step-by-step guide to creating content with confidence.
The aspiring wellness content creator with a voice waiting to be heard – this is for you!
We want to help you elevate your content game in the health and wellness space, it just takes a few key confidence boosters to get started.
The more content you create, the more confident you’ll be in your creation skills. It’s all about confidence, and with the right plan, and the right tools, you can thrive.
Step 1: Strategic Content Mindset
Think you can wing it and see how it goes? I just feel into it & it works? Sure! It works for a while, and maybe there is a better way!
Growing your legacy biz or brand and deeply connecting with your niche through your content requires a strategic mindset. The magic does happen when you become clear on your goals, clarify your message, and understand your niche, which allows your intentions to be congruent with your message and offer!
Having a clear and defined content strategy with content themes specific to your brand will be your anchor in busy times, it’s how you remain consistent. This process will also enable you to find or revisit your unique brand voice.
“Confidence in content creation comes from knowing your audience deeply. When you understand their needs and desires, you can craft messages that resonate and drive engagement.” Neil Patel, Digital Marketing Guru
Step 2: Frameworks for Inspiration & Unblocking Creativity
The format we recommend and use in generating a content strategy is categorising content through 5 pillars to consider when planning and creating remarkable content.
1. Educational
2. Entertaining
3. Inspiring
4. Connection
5. Promotional

Another one is the Audience Empathy Framework. Step into the shoes of your target audience. What are their challenges, interests, and pain points? How can your content address these? Focusing on your audience’s needs can be a powerful motivator to create content that is both informative and engaging.
These frameworks offer structure to kickstart your ideas but then set you free to let your imagination soar. Additionally, if you feel writer’s block, through the lens of your niche audience, you can use AI tools to generate ideas. Repurpose if you need to, find fresh angles for content you have already released, breathing new life into your past work.
Step 3: Invest in the content creator in you!
Let’s talk about taking your skills to the next level. You already bring awesome ideas but finding the right tools and resources can make creating a breeze.
Need stunning visuals? Stock image and video sites are your new best friend! They’ll help bring your themes to life without needing a pro-photographer.
Established brands can easily generate content with the help of customers or by launching a campaign. If you are a growing brand, there are many User Generated Content (UGC) platforms that create content as the customers for your brand. UGC is any content such as reviews, photos, videos, and testimonials – created and shared by customers or creators.
Not sure about your photo game? Maybe an iPhone photography course is the answer – gotta nail those eye-catching visuals, right?
Struggling to get your message across clearly? Hey, there’s no shame in considering a copywriter. A pro can help you craft the perfect words to grab your audience.
Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t be afraid to outsource! Collaborate with other creators to get the content you need.
The bottom line? Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Invest in yourself – learn something new, expand your knowledge, or outsource when it makes sense.
Let’s make creating awesome content even more awesome!
Step 4: Confidence comes after action, so dive in and get creating!
Forget waiting for confidence to strike – just start! Take a cue from Steven Bartlett, a powerhouse entrepreneur by 31. Investor, author, speaker, podcaster, TV host – the list goes on! At an inspiring live talk I attended, he dropped a truth bomb: “Confidence comes after action.”
This hit me hard!
And what landed was: Confidence isn’t a prerequisite; it’s the reward for taking that first step. I see confidence as the ultimate success story, a force that propels you forward.
So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the “do first, feel confident later” mindset and you will be uuuuunstopable!
Step 5: Adopt a Growth Mindset
Forget overnight success – content creation is a journey!
Every win, challenge, mistake – it’s all fuel for your confidence. Feeling discouraged by low engagement? That’s okay! Keep creating, stay curious, and your audience will notice. They need you to show up consistently, building trust that you’ll always be there with valuable content.
Here’s the secret sauce to creating content with confidence:
- Data Ninja: Analyse, test, and research – become a data detective to understand what resonates with your audience.
- Empathy Expert: Step into your niche’s shoes. What are their needs? What content would make their lives easier?
- Curiosity Crusader: Ask questions, dig deep, and explore ways to improve. Your audience is waiting for your unique perspective.
- Connection Champion: Engage with your audience! Ask what content they crave. Connect with peers to stay on top of trends.
This growth mindset empowers you to learn, adapt, and create content that truly connects. It’s not about immediate results, but about the incredible content creator you’ll become along the way.
This is how you’re creating content with confidence! grab your tools, embrace the journey, and get ready to create something amazing!
