Overwhelmed by the Content Creation Hamster Wheel? You're Not Alone.
Any marketer out there right now knows the job isn't getting any easier. You're competing for attention. You're caught in an endless cycle of content creation. You're trying to prove your worth. And you're looking to build a career you love.
If you're like most content marketers, you're struggling with:
The Content Treadmill: You're producing more content than ever, but it feels like you're running in place. Despite all your efforts, engagement and growth feel out of reach.
Content Chaos: You have a vision for your brand and business, but your content strategy feels scattered. Each piece of content feels like a shot in the dark.
Resource Drain: Time, energy, and resources are poured into creating content, leaving little room for strategy, creativity, and—let's face it—life outside of work.
Visibility Struggle: Even with a pile of content at your disposal, getting it in front of the right eyes is a challenge.
Chasing Attribution: You're tracking all sorts of metrics, but the connection to real business outcomes—leads, sales, loyal followers—feels blurry at best.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place. The cycle of produce, publish, and pray isn't sustainable.
But there's a better way—a way to create less, distribute more strategically, and see real results from your content marketing efforts.

Hey, I'm Justin 👋
In the last decade, I've seen content marketing evolve and change.
But here's the problem...most companies are still running a playbook from 2014.
I quickly learned if I needed to get more traffic, grow revenue, and build a brand it was going to take more than aimlessly publishing blog posts every week. I had to move away from only creating content to distributing it to my audience.
I'm sharing all of my experiences (and failures) to help other content marketers get more out of their marketing efforts.
I have over a decade of experience in marketing, copywriting, and content. In the past, I led the global content team for TechSmith and ran content for Metadata.io. Since then I've helps companies like Help Scout, Glide, and DataRobot create more effective content strategies.
Most marketers create content and don’t even bother to distribute it.
When I started in content marketing…
I assumed all I had to do was create some killer content, rank on Google, and see a never-ending flood of revenue come into the business.
Boy was I wrong.
The reality was that we were creating a lot of content. But for the most part, our content sat on the website, collecting a few views monthly. All the while we spun up new initiatives to try and fill the pipeline.
We were on the content treadmill.
I’ve talked to enough marketing leaders and worked with enough teams to know this experience is not unique. If you feel like you’re…
Surviving week-to-week instead of planning ahead
You’re stuck creating so much stuff that you don’t even know it all fits together
You hit publish on one piece and immediately move onto the next
Your team isn’t on the same page
Everything you create feels like a one-off Hail Mary rather than part of a larger plan
You don’t have a way to tie all your pieces together.
But if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll be stuck spinning in the content hamster wheel for the rest of your life.
I've helped hundreds of marketers ditch the old playbook and start and build a revenue generating content engine – and I can help you, too.
As a member of Distribution First, you’ll learn step-by-step how to get more ROI out of your content, get access to monthly small group coaching to help you succeed, and join a community of marketers you can learn from as you build a thriving career.
