95. What's Wrong With Your Content Strategy? 7 Common Mistakes to Fix Now


Listen Later

You’re posting. You’re showing up. But the clients? Still quiet.

If your content looks polished but doesn’t convert, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. You might just be building content like a creator, not a strategist.

 

In this episode, Shanté breaks down the 7 most common content strategy mistakes she sees across industries—mistakes that drain your time, cloud your messaging, and keep your audience stuck at “interested” instead of “ready to work with you.”

 

You’ll learn:

  • Why posting like an influencer sabotages your strategy
  • The 3 content types your business needs (and probably doesn’t have)
  • How to align your content with the actual buyer decision journey
  • Why most “viral” posts don’t convert—and what actually does
  • How to stop doing more and start doing what works

 

This isn’t about going viral. It’s about building content that moves. Content that holds your voice, earns trust, and guides your audience from scroll to sale.
