The Truth About Content Planning and Building Community in the Age of AI
When it comes to content planning…
You’re doing all the “right” things – keeping up with the trends, showing up online, even asking AI to help you out…
But your content feels meh, your community’s gone quiet, and deep down, you’re wondering if any of it is actually working.
If you’re feeling that, today’s episode of the How I Do Content Podcast is going to hit in the best kind of way. We have an expert on content planning in the house!
Let me introduce you to Carly
Because today I’m joined by digital marketing strategist and Dumbledore-level expert in content planning, Carly Smith – the no-BS content queen behind Socially Graceful who helps business owners ditch the chaos and finally get their content (and their strategy) together.
With 15+ years in the digital space (yes, back to MySpace and blogging days), Carly’s worked with everyone from solo biz owners to national brands. She knows how to turn big goals into content plans that actually work – and feel good to execute.
Carly’s magic is helping you show up with confidence, consistency, and content that sounds like you (not a robot or a generic marketing bro).
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why content planning isn’t the answer if your messaging isn’t clear – and what to do instead
- How to show up online in a way that actually sounds like you (not a robot or a marketing bro)
- Carly’s experience inside Micro Messaging and how it helped her stop holding back and start being heard
So if your content planning right now feels overwhelming or like your content is just not landing – this conversation will show you how to clean it up, simplify it, and finally make content planning it work for you.
