The Brand: Fitbit

Fitness brands are an obvious source for motivational content and it’s with good reason; getting fit is hard work and requires commitment. Fitness companies are selling more than just a product, they’re selling a lifestyle and if they can’t motivate their customers to buy into this then they quickly run out of business.

US company Fitbit sell activity trackers, devices that you wear on your wrist and which measure a range of data, including:

  • Heart rate
  • Quality of sleep
  • Steps climbed

Many of the measurables that Fitbit offer are available for free from your smartphone. In order to motivate you to buy their technology, Fitbit make their product part of your everyday life and getting fit a routine that you’re the boss of…

So take a leaf out of Fitbit’s book and develop motivational content that shows your customers how easy it is to make their lives better by buying into your brand. In addition to developing your own content, you can also employ content curation tools to add a little extra volume to your website.

Buzzsumo is the go-to-resource for content curation. You can search for any sort of motivational content and it will find the most shared content on the topic, allowing you to pick popular articles that you can share with your readers through your blog and social channels.

So make sure that when creating your site you know precisely who you’re writing your motivational content for, what they want, how they want to access it, and make it as simple as possible for them to get it. But you shouldn’t stop there; you should also make your customers’ lives easier by bringing your content to them on a regular basis.

One of the best ways of doing this is through an email newsletter, one which lists your latest content in an easy-to-digest format. You can save yourself time in producing your newsletter by using a pre-made template (some free email templates here), and just dropping in the links to your content.

Casey Adams keeps his motivational content short, to the point, and easy to digest. But the most important thing he does is to give his audience actionable advice that they can easily apply and use to bring them greater success.

So follow Casey’s advice and make sure there is always a point to your motivational content because if there isn’t then what incentive to you give to your audience to keep coming back for more?

Influencers like Casey can bring your motivational energy to the attention of even more people. This is because they have uniquely engaged followers who are receptive to the recommendations made by the influencers they follow. You can use technology like Upfluence to connect with the right micro or macro influencer for your brand and get your motivational content out to a whole new range of people.

Some people think that motivational content is just a series of a series of quotes from famous individuals. But it’s really not as simple as as that.

In order to create great motivational content you need to make it easy for your customers to buy into your brand, make it effortless for them to get what they want from you, and always give them actionable advice.

So take inspiration from the 3 great examples above and start creating content that motivates your audience to buy into your brand for the long-term.
