For the past 5 years, as we’ve been operating under the Shortcut Blogging brand, we’ve been doing much more that; we’ve been creating content. On top of these podcasts and blog posts, we’ve created videos, infographics and even case studies. So I created a “Content Creator’s Creed” to really set down a framework for what we believe are the reasons that people should be creating content and how it should be sourced, based on the way most people receive it.

…the best content comes from individuals rather than organizations

…your work’s meaning and…

At Shortcut Content, we believe that the best content comes from individuals rather than organizations. In fact, it’s the first point in our Content Creator’s Creed. There are so many companies that just send information on the company letterhead without anybody’s name on it. You see press releases like that. Well, I don’t think that’s the best way to share important information. I believe that it’s best heard straight from the mouth of the face of your company.

If you go into Best Buy and ask about a specific piece of equipment, what is usually going to happen? You’re going to get an endless stream of product features: it has this big of a hard drive and it works this fast. Although these can be good to know as a means of a comparison, if you’re in an…

Let’s say you wanted to read the Game of Thrones books. Would you want to read the original book written by George R. R. Martin or would you rather read something that I wrote summarizing the Game of Thrones series? I think most would say that they would want to read it the way the author intended it to be read. The same thing goes with creating content for your company; First-hand experience from the person who has lived through it is the most effective way to deliver information to your audience.

The biggest mistake you can make is…
