How to Systemize the Creative Process to Consistently Create Amazing Content process.st/creative-process/

9/9/2016 In this episode of the Business Systems Explored podcast, Tony Brown the author of Standard Procedure and Vinay Patankar from Process Street, talk about systemizing the processes and creating top content as well as explaining why content is so important to a company.

Ever wondered how small businesses can consistently create such amazing content? At Process Street, we produce at least 6 posts per week — some on our own blog and some as guest posts.

That’s not even including the podcasts and videos, which both come out weekly and are mediums that take considerably longer to write, design, produce, and polish.

So, how do we do it?

In this episode of Business Systems Explored we decided to take a break from having guests on and totally rip apart our content creation process for Process Street, BSE, and tonylbrown.com.

We talk about why content is important, whether you should create it yourself, and the kinds of content that are most effective. By following these tips, you can balance content creation with your other business functions and get the added bonus of that rare thing called a personal life.

Here’s how to consistently create winning content.
