🔧 TOOL OF THE DAY

Lose The Very

The word “very” is a fallback.

A safety net we use when we can’t think of anything more exciting.

Turns out, it’s a safety net we end up using way more often than we think.

Lose The Very couldn’t be any simpler.

The tool gives you endless suggestions for alternatives to “very” in any context.

It’s fun, easy to use, and surprisingly addictive.

💡 CLICKABLE CONTENT IDEA #1

Teach Your Audience The Little-Known Alternative They’re Missing Out On

🔨 Your Headline Template:  

"This Little-Known [Alternative] Is Like [Popular Option] Without The [Drawback]"

🔎 The Inspiration:

“This Little-Known Desert Destination Is Like Arizona's Antelope Canyon Without The Crowds”

Explore [link]

🧠 Why The Headline Works:

  • Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): It suggests a unique item or experience that most people don’t know about.

  • Contrast: Pointing out that the alternative doesn’t have the popular option’s main drawback/downside makes it more appealing.

🔁 How To Adapt It For Your Niche:

  1. Pick Your Little-Known Alternative: Find a unique option in your niche that can be compared to a well-known alternative.

    • It could be a product, place, activity, concept, or anything else.

  2. Address The Drawback: State how your alternative doesn't suffer from the significant, specific drawback associated with the popular option.

Hi ChatGPT,

I'm a content creator in the [insert niche] niche and my target audience is [insert target audience]. I want to create content based on the following headline template:

The template is modeled on the following headline: 

"This Little-Known Desert Destination Is Like Arizona's Antelope Canyon Without The Crowds"

Generate 10 headline ideas for my niche that follow this headline template closely, replacing just the bracketed words. The content should cover specific topics relevant to the niche and should not be generic or broad.

Each headline should:

- Replace [Popular Option] with a well-known or widely used product, service, activity, or concept in my niche.

- Replace [Drawback] with a common issue or challenge associated with the popular option.

- Replace [Alternative] with a unique product, service, activity, or concept very similar to the [Popular Option], but doesn't suffer from the same [Drawback].

🎨 Examples Using The Template:
