Content marketing can be a lonely space.
You may be the only content person on your team, or you may be a content freelancer operating as an island.
Peers who don’t have access to the content may find it difficult and slow down your professional development.
Before I discovered the power of the community, this was a problem I had been trying to solve early in my career!
I will share how you can make the most of the community and make your content role easier 😊
This is what this article will cover:

Let’s start with what we call the content community.
In this case, I define the content community as:
A group of content professionals are connected by similar roles and professional ambitions.
Here are some types of content communities:
Slack community
In the Slack content community, people usually need to meet certain conditions to join.
Content UK (I run!) for content marketers in the UK and Women in technical SEO Existence (as the name suggests) is for women who are engaged in technical SEO careers.
Twitter community
“Twitter chat” is very popular in the field of content marketing.
They follow a format where content personnel use hashtags to answer professional questions:
#FreelanceHeroes-Every Wednesday at 8pm (Greenwich Mean Time)
#FreelanceChat – Every Thursday at 5pm (Greenwich Mean Time)
#SEOChat-Every Thursday at 6pm (Greenwich Mean Time)
#ContentClubUK-Every Tuesday at 11 am (Greenwich Mean Time)
Reddit community
The content marketing subreddit can easily find discussions about all content.
