From Consumption to Creation: Maximising Value from Your Social Media Experience

In this episode, David considers the overwhelming nature of social media, particularly within the football industry. He discusses the pressure to constantly create and consume content, highlighting the importance of setting clear goals for social media use. David shares personal strategies for managing content creation and consumption, emphasising the value of engaging with the right people and focusing on meaningful interactions rather than mindless scrolling. KEY TAKEAWAYS Establish a purpose for your social media presence, such as networking or content creation, to avoid getting lost in the overwhelming amount of content available. Instead of feeling pressured to post frequently, prioritise creating valuable content that reflects your personality and aligns with your goals. Plan and schedule your posts in advance, but ensure that the content remains relevant and timely to avoid posting outdated information. When consuming content, approach it with a strategy in mind, such as identifying potential podcast guests or valuable connections, rather than aimlessly scrolling. Organise your content creation around upcoming events or themes to maintain clarity and reduce the stress of last minute posting. BEST MOMENTS "Social media can be an overwhelming space, particularly when looking in our industry of football." "It's important that we can look at how we can overcome being so overwhelmed and being so indulged in all of the good stuff that people go through." "You have to set a goal of why you have a social media platform." "One thing you don't want to do is schedule too much content too far in advance that when the post actually comes out, it's not relevant." "Think about formulating a strategy. Maybe think about going through LinkedIn as a session rather than going on LinkedIn for the sake of LinkedIn."
