Building A Content Operations Framework
Content creation shouldn't be a struggle, and there's no need to start from scratch every time. By implementing efficient Content Operations, you can simplify the creation process, freeing up your time and energy to concentrate on your creative ideas.
Building A Content Operations Framework
Content Operations is the framework of processes, people, and technologies that enables SaaS brands to effectively plan, create, manage, and analyze content across channels.
- People: roles, responsibilities, and organizational structure involved in content processes
- Process: guidelines, and procedures for content planning, creation, approval, publishing, etc
- Technology: tools and systems used to support content operations, like content management systems, analytics platforms, collaboration software, etc
Build An Army Of Content Marketers
Having the right framework in place, means you don't need to hire an in-office staff to create all your content, instead, create Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that you can then share and create an army of freelance content marketing and copywriters who create everything, ensuring all that needs done is reviewing for brand and tone, then hitting publish!
In summary, content operations provides the infrastructure needed to execute content strategies effectively and sustainable at scale. It's an essential capability for any SaaS brand looking to succeed with content in today's digital landscape.
