Build Your Brand: Creating Content on the Job

The reality for many businesses, regardless of industry, is that the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day can be utterly consuming. For plumbers, it’s the leaky pipes and installations; for lawyers, it's cases and client consultations, and even cashiers manage a steady stream of customers, sales, and inventory.  

However, what if the regular 9-5 grind could serve a dual purpose—addressing your everyday tasks while simultaneously promoting your brand? A plumber’s routine calls or a cashier’s interaction with customers might just be the relatable content someone out there wants to see! (Don’t judge me when I’m watching toilet installs on my break!)

Today our content pros explain the value of sharing your day-to-day, and how you can make it an easy habit, not a second job.

Your Daily Tasks Are Content Goldmines

Unveiling the curtain and providing a glimpse into the inner workings of your everyday tasks can forge a deep, relatable connection with your audience. Believe it or not, what might seem mundane to you can be fascinating to outsiders. It’s not just about showcasing the polished, final product or end result, but rather sharing the journey and process it takes to get there. Let's consider a few benefits:

• Relatability: Showcasing the realities of your job can create an empathetic connection with viewers. ‍
• Transparency: Sharing day-to-day operations fosters trust by revealing the authenticity behind your brand. ‍
• Human Connection: Displaying the faces and efforts behind a product or service humanizes your business.

Tap into The Relatability of ‘A Day in The Life’

Ever wondered why “A Day in the Life of a [Job Role]” videos on platforms like YouTube garner so many views? It’s the curiosity about and relatability of seeing someone navigate their workday, tackling challenges, and celebrating successes, big or small. It’s not merely about the exceptional days but finding interest in the typical, unembellished days that might mirror those of your audience.

For example, a bakery might post a quick time-lapse of the early morning set-up—preparing dough, arranging pastries, and the first wave of customers trickling in. A digital marketing agency, like Charisma, might share the process of brainstorming a new campaign or the steps of designing a website for a client.
