Four Benefits of Content Creation

how your content gives back!

Creating content with “character” is what this podcast is all about. Not simply creating more just for the sake of more, or because you feel like you should be, but coming from a place of depth, intention, and a desire to spark more goodness in the world. 

In this episode, we’re talking about why to create content in the first place and the four hidden benefits to YOU to the creator when you do!

Discover how your content gives back to those experiencing it and to you in this episode.

What’s the point? Why do we create content?

Here are a few reasons I came up with! I bet you can think of more: 

  • Expression/creativity outlet
  • Inspire and give hope
  • Motivate to action
  • Make change
  • Advocate for those without a voice/platform
  • Help people know their not alone – feel seen and heard
  • Create connection and build community
  • Get people to think in a different way
  • Market ourselves, share about what we’re building and creating
  • Teach and educate
  • Raise awareness 

A lot of these are other-focused – what they can do for others.

For this episode, I wanted to come up with some things that content can do for US too, how does it reciprocate and give back to us?
