How to batch your content and create an effective batching workflow
Show Notes

New episode today of the podcast, and it's all about batching!

Batching your content, in other words sitting down and getting a few weeks of content created and scheduled in one go, has been my go-to since 2020, and has allowed me to stay consistently visible and serving in my business, even if I'm on holiday, taking time off to deal with family issues, or just not feeling the whole getting visible vibe.

But earlier this year I fell off the batching wagon. With a brand new program to deliver, and big changes at home, I missed my batching window and fell back into the whole weekly content production treadmill. While not much could be done about it at the time, it's given me a whole new appreciation for the freedom and peace of mind that batching gives to you as a business owner.

Not only does it give you some breathing space when real life stops you from showing up and serving your audience, but it also frees up so much headspace when you're not dealing with constantly looming deadlines (or the guilt of having let it slip).

So, I'm back on the batching train, and in this episode I'm sharing:

- How to get started with batching
- The 6 phases of the batching process
- How to work out your best workflow

and I'll be sharing the exact workflow that I go through with this podcast.

If you find showing up consistently overwhelming some days and weeks, or that the pressure of the content treadmill is wearing you down and stopping you from showing up, this is one episode you do not want to miss.

The episodes I cross reference in this episode are:
Episode 3: Plan Your Content Like a Glossy Magazine Part One
Episode 4: Plan Your Content Like a Glossy Magazine Part Two
Episode 65: Content Marketing When You're a Highly Sensitive Person
