How I Never Run Out Of Content Ideas
All you need is one idea and a way to turn it into 100...
Day 11/100
Super quick one today. I gots things to do, but I said I was gonna do this, so I’m doing this.
How I come up with new angles for the same content
It’s a pretty simple concept, but it’s helped me over and over again to work out how to take one thing and stretch it as far as it’ll go.
New Audience | Regular Follower | Loyal Fan | |
---|---|---|---|
Long Form | |||
Visual | |||
Short Form |
How to use it:
Start with ONE solid piece (like a blog post)
Fill in each box with a variation
Schedule them over 4-6 weeks
Example: We took our "Content Scaling" blog and turned it into:
Content Scaling | New Audience | Regular Follower | Loyal Fan |
---|---|---|---|
Long Form | Beginners guide to Content Scaling | 5-Step System for Efficient Content Production at Scale | Quality Control Framework for Enterprise Content Teams |
Visual | "Quality vs. Quantity" infographic | Process flowchart for content approval system | Customizable content quality scoring template |
Short Form | Twitter thread on "3 myths about content scaling" | Weekly tips email on productivity hacks for content teams. Oh hi. | Expert masterclass on content SOPs |
The best part? You can batch-create all versions in a single day, then drip them out for weeks. There is a science backed way to drip them out that I’ll go into next week.
Try this with your next piece of content and watch your engagement multiply while your creation time stays the same.
