1) Introduction to Content and Marketing at 7 Cups
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!

Hi there! I have a passion for mental health, writing, content creation, social media brand management, and graphic designing as well.
I'm also a psychology student with a Diploma in Modern Applied Psychology and Practitioner Counseling Skills.
Creating content for 7 Cups *** and the Expert Mental Health News and Advice section to create new Articles, interests me the most since I have certifications in content creation, and social media marketing, and 3 years of experience as a social networking site executive manager.
Thank you for having me! Looking forward to applying my skills and contributing to the team. 😊

My interested areas of focus will be

I'm personally excited about the entire program, being able to learn about 2 of my top interests at the same time- content development and mental health- is super beneficial. I look forward to finding what parts will catch my passions.

I feel that I would be very successful in the content creation, I enjoy creating insightful (hehe pun intended) posts about things that others' never really thought of or bringing a new spin on topics that no one has every mentioned before. I feel that is where I would achieve the most!
Hello I read the post, I interested in creating pictures and seeing people liking my post 🙂

I'm interested in the Experts Mental Health and Advice Section. This is because I have an interest in sharing educational post or advice regarding mental health and I hope I can collaborate with other experts to expand my knowledge in mental health as well. I really hope that by doing this can be a benefit to others as well as myself in learning more things about mental health topics.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I am actually interested in both sides. I have always been interested in marketing but I know nothing about Twitter or ***…. Only FB. I am also interested in creating new content for 7 cups.
