5 Phases of Planning
25
1. Segment + profile your audience
Who is your ideal candidate
/ client? Create a profile of
that person.
What is their background?
What defines them?
Where are they online?
Give them a name and a
picture – make them real!
Figure out what will
capture their attention.
What is that person
interested in, what does
that person care about,
what else are they
doing online?
Position your business
as an expert, authority
and place to go for any
information or
guidance in their space.
Be relevant, be authentic
and be personable.
Create videos, interview
your people or industry
experts, share information
from events, write blog
posts and e-books on the
state of jobs in your
industry, create salary
surveys. Put this content in
the right places.
26
2. Start solving problems
27
3. Create a content calendar
What can we create? (own branded content)
What content can we share? (external content)
Who is responsible for what types of content?
When are certain topics more relevant?
Who will be responsible for following up?
