What are Content Pillars?
Content pillars are categories of content topics that are relevant to your market or niche. You can offer value to your followers by creating a mix of entertaining content, informational content and more personal content related to you or your brand. Pillars make it much easier to plan out content in advance since it allows you to rotate topics evenly so that your followers don't get bored of the same thing. It also helps to generate ideas for content when you feel stuck. Content strands are subcategories to help you define your content even further. Define your pillars and strands and then rotate through them through the month.
