1) Introduction to Content and Marketing at 7 Cups

SoulfullyAButterfly January 24th, 2021

7 Cups currently has separate dedicated teams that focus on both Content and Marketing. This discussion outlines both teams and provides an overview of their current focus.

(A) Content Volunteer Team

The Content Volunteer Team was relaunched and redesigned in 2020 and is led by @SoulfullyAButterfly - more information including an application can be found here

Focus:

The team works to improve site content in the following areas:

(i) Questions and Answers (Q&A Pages): Quality answers are researched and written in light of search engine optimization (SEO) and other best practices to ensure that the community gets verified, valuable information in response to common mental health questions and concerns. These answers are considered “short tasks” as they involve quicker content production.

(ii) Expert Mental Health News and Advice Section: Existing, published articles are reviewed to ensure up-to-date information, quality length, expert verified facts and other important topic categories by editors.

In addition, fresh content is produced for:

(iii) Expert Mental Health News and Advice Section: Alongside fresh content provided by experts, the team works to research and produce relevant fresh content articles that help boost information and awareness related to the categories that 7 Cups offers expertise in. Writers are welcome to collaborate with experts to publish co-authored articles or produce content individually to be published under the 7 Cups Community Account.

(iv) All other Content Needs: The team is ready to tackle and undertake content tasks that may come up as other needs. These content assignments can relate to listener guides, upcoming growth path playlists, improvement and support of online therapy-related information as well as many other possibilities!

(B) Team Lightship

As a revamp to the Social Soldiers Team at 7 Cups, Project Lightship was announced in late 2020 as the current volunteer-led marketing team for 7 Cups on Twitter. It is currently being led by @Rebecca947 and @Isentropic

Focus:

The team intends to eliminate mental health stigma by identifying those who need support as presented by social media (Twitter) based messages. The team not only works on bringing awareness by using and promoting mental health-based content but actively outreaches to potential users in need of a safe haven to invite them to use 7 Cups.

The team currently has one track with a focus on:

(i) Outreaching to 20 people with compassionate messages and support per month

(ii) Generating content and posting 5 posts.

As the team is currently testing only one track, we can expect future opportunities with the growth of Team Lightship! Further information, including an application, can be found here

Other Social Media Platforms for Content:

In the meantime, 7 Cups has official accounts on social media platforms that are run by community admins. Students of this current course as well as the Content Team will prospectively add to these content and content marketing efforts!

Find and follow the 7 Cups Official Accounts on Social Media:

Instagram - @7Cups ​| Twitter - @7Cups & @7CupsTeen | Facebook - 7CupsOfTea | Youtube - 7 Cups of Tea

❤️ Great post! Thank you for your awesome work ❤️

❤️ I actually have a mixed opinion. About the Content focus, I love to write (when motivated), but I would find the Content Volunteer Team overwhelming. However, I'm interested in making a difference by writing quality content that is meaningful and relevant, mainly because creating something beautiful and helpful is particularly rewarding. ❤️

❤️ About the Marketing focus, I never was a fan of social media, but I am enthusiastic about the concept of breaking the stigma and spreading support and awareness via graphics. I'm also interested in making an impact by inviting others to join us because guiding struggling people to this supportive space can be the beginning of a big, positive change. Both tracks are an entirely beautiful world! ❤️

Being part of the Lightship Team sounds great! I enjoy making graphics for platforms like instagram and reaching out to let people know about cups feels like it could be really rewarding!

I also like the idea of doing the Q&A questions and I might have an article or two in me! The Q&A questions are really valuable and give me the chance to share experiences or advice to benefit more people.

Hi everyone, I'm Jacqueline Sloane but you can call me Jacquie. I found interest in Team Lightship and the use of social media to bring light to eliminate mental health stigma and share inspirational tidbits to the masses. In this day and digital age, social media is such an important thing to daily life. I've taken a look at our social media platforms and it combined two things I loved. First, helping and inspiring others and second, creating digital art. It's like the creation of s'mores, P E R F E C T I O N!

@SoulfullyAButterfly I am looking forward to learning more about "Ensuring Best Writing Practices" so that I can develop my professional writing abilities further.
