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

Question for Discussion:

I think I’m interested in all of them but leaning a bit more towards “Team Lightship” as I’m very fond on their focus on eliminating stigma and bringing awareness to mental health, which is very much needed (Reaching a greater “audience”) esp now and in places where is there’s still lockdown where a lot of people are suffering from mental health issues and may not even know it or may not know how to deal with it.

Hello Nutella! Welcome to Content Development and Marketing Program. I'm pleased to hear that you've found an area of interest. Indeed, what you learn from the CDM course can be a great help for you to join the Lightship team. We will be teaching you how to write suitable twit, make graphics for social media. Thus, the CDM program + team lightship is a great combo!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I should say Team Lightship

This is because it is about reaching out to the ones who have not yet found this amazing free listening platform. It is about ensuring that everyone is heard.

@SoulfullyAButterfly I would like to be an author about coping mental health and how to deal with it. I believe being one could really a help to someone in need. The coping mechanisms that helped me could be a help to other people going through it.

I would like to be part of the content: Questions and Answers (Q&A Pages). I would like to research quality answers. I’m not sure what it means by quicker content production. But I would like to respond to common mental health questions and concerns. Definitely would like to do this part.

Hi all, soulfully hi hope you're well. I'm interested in the content volunteer because I'm better at it and like it. I think that presentation is all, you need to be on top of all current topics to be successful. I interned and worked as a graphic designer and desktop publisher so I can and would love to help!

I believe that people deserve to be effectively and properly informed.

GoldenNest2727 November 1st, 2021

Hello! I'm interested in joining the content creation team. I don't have any genuine social media accounts. I have some alias accounts that I'm happy to use though (they're fairly old accounts and look genuine in my opinion, but I've never used my real name). I've done freelance marketing through social media before, but I did it through the official accounts as a ghostwriter.

Hi GoldenNest, nice to meet you. With your experience and passion, you can be a great addition to Team Lightship. 💜

It is a social media project which is part of the 7 Cups Content team. And you can join the team while finishing CDM or after you finish the program is also great.


We're working to help people on Twitter who need emotional support find our community, as well as working together to break the stigma on mental health. Please check more info here.

Feel free to ask @DreamTouch or me for further info and I'm Looking forward to having you on the team and all the best for CDM! ⭐

@GoldenNest2727

I think working through Twitter accounts are a great idea, it's a great source of marketing and will help bunches of people.

I remember when I was introduced to MSN messenger through a chat room it was so comforting and convenient to have people to talk to through messenger.

@MarinaLecubet

MSN messenger? That was huge! 😀 and they replaced it with Skype and now Microsoft has Windows Live messenger.

But seems like it's struggling to compete with other giant messengers. Do you think they can make it big again?
