What can you learn from a ghost writer about data? Well, when it comes to how to effectively leverage data in copy and content, quite a lot!
Treasa Edmond of Edmond of Edmond Editing and Writing, and creator of the Writing Mindset blog, joined me to explore how to plan out and incorporate data into all the content we produce. Whether for Instagram, YouTube, blogs, or feature films (whatever floats your boat!), you need to choose, collect, and weave in the right data into a compelling narrative.
Other notable lessons:
- Different audiences need different data as much as they need different narratives, so make sure to tailor the data you select for each audience. That also means you need to decide who the audience is for each piece of content before you get started.
- Don’t try to cram everything into a single piece of content. Just because a data point is a great one doesn’t mean it belongs in everything you publish. If it’s that good, but doesn’t fit this piece, then create a piece specially for that insight.
- You need a marketing strategy, a content strategy, and a data strategy – and they all should be tightly connected to each other.
