Creating content for technical audiences? Writing content for people first?
Meg Scarborough joined me on episode #63 of the Optimize podcast. It was a fun conversation that took me back to the days when I was building an SEO strategy in the K8s space.
Meg is the Founder & CEO of @MegawattContent, a growth agency specializing in content and SEO. Meg and the team develop high-quality content-led growth programs for B2B technology companies.
Listen to this week’s episode to hear more about:
- Helpful Content — Meg walks us through her process for creating helpful content that resonates with technical audiences and buyers (think cybersecurity, for example). She explains what it means to create content for people first and how to approach solving their problems.
- Sourcing Writers — Meg and I chat through hiring freelance writers, which can be a little trickier when creating highly technical content. We talk about approaches, costs, and lessons learned.
- Content Repurposing — Throughout the episode, Meg and I chat about content repurposing and how we are thinking about it today and in the year ahead.
Next week, @5le returns to the Optimize podcast for round 2. A lot has happened in SEO since we had Eli on ten months ago. Eli tells us what he really thinks about AI Overviews, the recent algo updates, and the state of Google amid the recent anti-trust ruling. This is an episode that you won't want to miss!

I've ghostwritten 100+ social posts.
And recently, put effort into my own (1k to 7k followers in 3 months).
Follow these 4 principles to write share-worthy posts (that are packed with value):
"Searchers (someone looking up something on Google) are different than Scrollers (someone scrolling through their social feed)."
We need *fundamentally different strategies* for #distributingcontent
via *fundamentally different* platforms.
Great point from Justin Simon.

#AI will change #contentmarketing. But it can't replace moist, human creativity.
Think of the content you publish as an investment portfolio.
Creators who invest small amounts daily over a long period of time build something big in the end.
