💡 2 content ideas for you

Try these two…

Idea 1: Learning Resources In Your Niche

🔨 Your Headline Template:

"X [Learning Resources] That Paved My Path To [Specific Achievement]"

🔎 The Inspiration:

“5 Books That Paved My Path To Entrepreneurial Success”

Entrepreneur [link]

🧠 Why The Headline Works:

  • Aspiration: We look to people ahead of us and try to emulate their paths. Giving the audience a “blueprint” to success (eg. books to read) will always get attention.

  • Social Proof: Personal success stories increase trust and act as social proof — a powerful motivator. We feel that if it worked for someone else, it could work for us too.

🔁 How To Adapt It For Your Niche:

  1. Pick An Achievement: Begin by pinpointing a specific achievement or milestone you've reached within your niche. Make sure it’s relevant to your audience's goals.

  2. Pick The Learning Resources: Select the books, courses, podcasts, or other educational tools that directly contributed to reaching this achievement.

🎨 Examples Using The Template:

  • For Writers: “3 Workshops That Paved My Path To Getting A Book Published”

  • For Developers: “3 Coding Courses That Paved My Path To Getting Hired By Google”

  • For Sustainability: “6 Books That Paved My Path To Sustainable Living”

  • For Fashion: “5 Fashion Blogs That Paved My Path To A Perfect Minimalist Wardrobe”

  • For Real Estate: “5 Real Estate Seminars That Paved My Path To Million-Dollar Listings”

Idea 2: Empowering Your Audience To Break Through Barriers

🔨 Your Headline Template:

"How [Field/Industry] [Overlooks Group] And What You Can Do About It

🔎 The Inspiration:

"How The Art World Excludes You And What You Can Do About It"

NPR [link]

🧠 Why The Headline Works:

  • Feeling Excluded: It taps into the psychological effect of in-group vs. out-group. This creates a strong emotional response —we all want to belong and feel included.

  • Empowerment: The headline offers solutions and a feeling of control over our circumstances.

🔁 How To Adapt It For Your Niche:

  1. Identify The Exclusion: Pinpoint how a specific group of people might feel excluded within your niche. It could be due to knowledge, experience, social standing, or other factors.

  2. Propose Solutions: Offer concrete steps or strategies that empower this segment of your audience to overcome these barriers.

🎨 Examples Using The Template:

  • For Musicians: “How The Music Industry Overshadows Indie Artists And What You Can Do About It”

  • For Careers: “How The Corporate World Undervalues Introverts And What You Can Do About It”

  • For Entrepreneurs: “How Venture Capitalists Overlook Minority Groups And What You Can Do About It”
