How do you learn from and share your content management experiences and insights with others?

Learning from others could be tricky, specially coming down to the fact that Experiences occur in different settings; resulting in a broad, and often opposite outcomes. To address this issue, one of the best and most useful methods I personally used, has two simple Steps: - Read a lot of Experiences in miscellaneous industries, like Fintech, AI, Retail, Education, etc. - Use "Analogy" and "Analogous distinguish" to understand the points you might learn despite the differences. This will open a lot of the doors for you. Hope this will help you.

From my experiences, I learned that if you are a beginner. No matter how much you read or listen when you reach someone for help, you hardly get their support. What could you do here? 1. Start your page on social media like Pinterest, Facebook, or Instagram. 2. Get insights on how to leverage the page and how that platform works. 3. Later, when you reach out to someone, you hold the expertise, and this will create a win-win situation. Keep connecting with people and ask them 1 on 1 calls. I keep on doing this on LinkedIn. I hope this helped you in some way!

For the SAP Consultants, customers, vendors, and partners-- the best online community is LinkedIn. There are other communities and forums hosted by SAP and channels on YouTube etc. But none of these compare in size and quality and usage to the LinkedIn community. I am a frequent poster as a content creator on LinkedIn I am also a content curator as I find top-notch quality I will repost it for reproduce it into a different format but always With full attribution to the original content creator If you are trying to connect onto the SAP community on LinkedIn and are struggling a bit, reach out to me and I am happy to assist in getting you better connected.

And the best part about joining a community of creators? A TON of people have walked in your shoes before. There are likely ten variations of the questions you have, all with helpful answers. My go-tos are Reddit (my favorite resource), then YouTube (since good, helpful content rises to the top). If I had to tack on a third, I'd probably say Discord, although I find the first two easier to organize. (I think LinkedIn is getting there slowly -- that said, I haven't seen many active groups here. Eventually they may rise up the list with improved content search and discoverability.)

Blogging or creating content. It's like writing a journal of your journey. Sharing your challenges, successes, and lessons learned not only helps you reflect but also provides valuable insights to others facing similar content management dilemmas. Keeping all the knowledge to yourself. It's like having a chest of gold but not sharing any with others. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing within your industry community can lead to mutual growth and better content management practices.

Participating in events and workshops has many benefits. You can meet other professionals and make valuable connections. You may find job opportunities or even get a mentor. At these gatherings, you can also show your own work and get feedback from other people in your industry. This is a great way to learn and improve. It also helps the content management community grow. So, when you go to these events, be ready to learn and share. This is important for staying ahead in content management.

If you are attending offline events, you can make the maximum use of connecting with the people. Most people may not initiate the first "Hello" because the topics are similar. You can connect with any person more easily. In an online event, if there are groups where you can connect personally, like WhatsApp, you can drop messages to people personally, not in a way of spamming but how you can connect and collaborate. It will be a bit weird at the start, but when you keep doing it. You will find the "Fun" part and start creating your community.

This is where I think offline groups shine. For me, the most value I've gotten in learning about content (and marketing in general) has come through networking groups in my local area. There's plenty of people out there willing, able, and ready to help -- plus, much of the time, these groups are eager for new faces. Join those physical groups / events with a mindset of giving before receiving, and reap the benefits...ESPECIALLY if you're young. Many groups I've spoken to struggle to garner the interest of 20-30 year olds. But...those groups tend to have older, experienced, well-connected member bases. So there's a particular advantage to showing up young and enthusiastic.

The Americas SAP User Group (#ASUG) is a great community for learning. ASUG has local chapters in almost every state or region of the United States. It also extends into Canada as well as South America. The success or decline of a local chapter relies heavily on local volunteers and chapter organizers. A chapter meeting will typically have educational style presentations from the local chapter members, vendors such as an #SAPCyberSecurity vendor, or a consulting company that might be helping one of the local chapter members accomplish an important project. Each time that I attend an ASUG event, even as a vendor, I still learn so much from the presentations and I learn just from meeting others in the SAP Community.

Being a Content Manager consultant has brought me to events as a marketing strategy. I can add value to attendants and the event itself while letting possible customers know me. Generally after the session i have multiple meetings with interested companies. I help them build their content team, and follow okrs and kpis for growth.

I started writing when I was 16 (almost 21 years ago). However, that time internet and blogging were not invented yet, but writing and "Consistent writing" lets say, was the greatest way to explore myself, deep inner thoughts, and the outside world. Starting with digital Writing, I explored the deepest available friendships.

If you want to build credibility, you have to start writing on one platform. For me, Medium and LinkedIn have worked the best. I started on Medium 2.5 years back and on LinkedIn 2 years back. Both platforms have given me credibility. But the question is how you gain credibility. Credibility happens when you keep sharing content in one niche in various forms with your expertise. When people know you are an expert in one niche, you will start getting followers, leads, and opportunities.

Another benefit of creating / building in public is that you'll get a ton of feedback. Even better -- in my experience, much of that feedback comes privately. Sure, you'll get likes and supportive comments on the front end of your content... but there's crazy value to be had in someone sending you a DM, or an email, detailing feedback and offering suggestions. It doesn't look like engagement on the outside, but it's some of the most meaningful interaction you can have with your audience.

The biggest challenge of creating content is consistency. Keeping up to a frequency that systems will push. You can be very creative but without consistency you will feel you are failing each time.

I write technical blogs and articles as well as best practice articles. For fun, I write short stories. It's important to make sure you don't lose your creative sense of writing. Creative writing is so much different. It uses another side of your head. Have fun with your writing or you'll either lose your creative style or have a hard time trying to get it back. I actually lost it. I couldn't write cool, cheeky, aggressive prose. I had to work my way back. It was tough.

Everyone talks about collaboration, but no one says how to find a collaboration partner. If you get a collaboration request for something, will you just accept it? The answer is "NO." Why? Because you need to match certain things with the other person, like - Goals. Vision. Core Values. Time to evaluate them. If things are getting matched, then surely go ahead. Those steps will take time but will give you a smooth process in your collaboration.

In my experience, the simplest way to collab in content is via the podcast / video medium... anywhere you can get an interview documented. Pros: all participants shine; the long-form structure allows for more in-depth, intimate moments; add'l sharing opportunities to reach new audiences; ability to clip down moments for maximum portability Cons: it takes a long time compared to clicking off a quick LinkedIn post. The way I see it: when collaborating, it's beneficial to leverage time and audience. Creating something with the most ability to be snacked and shared is, in my opinion, the optimal route -- and so something like an interview format (you could even do a blog like this) will help with that efficiency and scale.

As a contributing author to publications focused on my industry (CAD management), I try to educate others in the field. Just sharing a new perspective with others will allow a new take on how the industry is evolving and possible directions for positive growth.

The best place to find collaborators is at industry events (vidcon, comicon, etc), on discord chats and on facebook groups with other creators. For content management specialists I use linkedin where we can share and collaborate.

Collaboration is vital, especially as a marketing writer. I typically buddy up with product managers, corporate branding, tech developers, sales (front-line folks) - getting everyone's POV or industry perspective helps create well-rounded work. You need multiple partners - per project - partners can change with the project or assignment.

Learning from a mentor is the smartest way to learn faster. I have a freelancing mentor and am a Mentor of 7 people in my 90-day LinkedIn Cohort. How does mentorship help you? A mentor knows the right path to help you reach your destination easier without experimenting. This not only helps you to save time but helps you to connect with the right people in your future through your mentor.

I seek mentorship in business strategy while offer mentorship in content management. Video business is what interests me the most at the moment and I would like to become an expert on that side. I enjoyed very much having mentors in the past. At the moment I don't have one, but i would love to. I have multiple mentees on the content management side. open for new candidates. Please check my profile.

I got mentored from the business side of different companies I worked at. Understanding the business is essential to writing. While many of the business people I worked with weren't proficient in writing, they did know what they wanted or how copy/content should be positioned. I taught myself the writing through trial and error. Again, it helps to read a lot of stuff. Reading gives you a benchmark.

Mentoring is a very rewarding aspect of my career. As I have been in the industry for forty-plus years, I have had the opportunity to help and support others just starting out. Showing newer managers what to avoid will reduce their concerns about failing. Confidence is built over time, not an easy process as I have found.

In addition, creating spaces to collaborate and learn from each other within the same company is important as we are trying to reach a common goal. This helps in identifying loopholes and refining practices leading to effective project management.

Ad a CAD manager for many years, I have seen both good and bad approaches to the job. The one thing that someone who is attempting change within their organization must understand, is that they cannot do so alone. Management and co-workers must be on board with change implementation, and embrace it. The efforts are well worth the time investment if approached properly.

These are all good way to hone your skills. I’ve also worked with professional marketers who have helped me craft effective content
