💡 2 content ideas for you
The Process:
🔎 Take a great headline from any niche.
🧠 Figure out the psychology behind why it works.
🔨 Turn the headline into a template.
🎨 Think of ways to use the headline template in your niche.
Try these…
Idea 1: An Annoying Behavior Or Practice In Your Niche — Explained
🔨 Your Headline Template:
"Why [Insert Annoying Behavior Or Practice In Your Niche]? An Annoying [Behavior/Practice] Explained”
🔎 The Inspiration:
"Why Do Dogs Dig Into Their Bed? An Annoying Behavior Explained"
🧠 Why The Headline Works:
Puzzle-Solving: The headline makes us want to fill the “curiosity gap” in our knowledge. People love solving puzzles and finding answers.
Relatability: The “annoying” behavior/practice is widely recognized — this makes the topic instantly relatable to a broad audience.
Non-Obvious: The behavior is common but doesn’t have an obvious explanation, making us click to find out more.
🔁 How To Adapt It For Your Niche:
Pick A Behavior/Practice: Identify a common but puzzling behavior or practice within your niche. One that appears annoying on the surface but has deeper, non-obvious reasons.
Dig Into The Why: Explore the reasons behind this behavior or practice.
🎨 Examples Using The Template:
Creators:
Gardening Creator: “Why Do Succulents Always Lose Their Shape? An Annoying Behavior Explained”
Fashion Creator: “Why Do Clothing Sizes Vary Between Brands? An Annoying Practice Explained”
Businesses Doing Content Marketing (B2C):
Financial Advisor: “Why Do Banks Hold Checks For Several Days? An Annoying Practice Explained”
Salon Owner: “Why Does Hair Color Fade So Quickly? An Annoying Problem Explained”
Businesses Doing Content Marketing (B2B):

IT Consulting Firm: “Why Do Zoom Conference Calls Always Start Glitchy? An Annoying Problem Explained”
Idea 2: Cheat Codes In Your Niche
🔨 Your Headline Template:
"The Fastest Way To [Achieve Specific Goal] ([Niche] Cheat Codes)"
🔎 The Inspiration:
"The Fastest Way To Get Promoted (Career Cheat Codes)"
🧠 Why The Headline Works:
Motivation/Aspiration: The headline taps into our drive for achievement and success. The promise of a “fastest way” to achieve success will always grab attention.
Exclusivity: “Cheat codes” suggest insider knowledge or industry secrets people wouldn’t typically have access to. Make your content feel exclusive and you’ll always win.
🔁 How To Adapt It For Your Niche:
Pick A Goal: Focus on a specific achievement or milestone relevant to your niche and important to your audience.
Reveal “Cheat Codes”: List strategies, tips, or tactics that can help your audience achieve this specific goal quicker.
Make It Actionable: The audience should be able to implement the “cheat codes” immediately. Make the guidance both inspirational and practical.
If you don’t think you have a goal you can help your audience achieve faster, you aren’t being specific enough.
For example, I wouldn’t feel confident giving people “cheat codes” for becoming a “successful creator”.
It’s too broad and “successful” would mean different things to different people.
But I can definitely give people cheat codes for getting more clicks to their content using headlines and hooks.
Get more specific and you’ll find your areas of expertise.
