I sit down to create content and stare at a blank screen every week

Start with content pillars from your positioning. Ideas flow from strategy, not random inspiration — your pillars generate unlimited angles.

"What should I post about?" is the question that keeps founders staring at a blank screen every week. The answer isn't inspiration. It's structure.

The theme mining process

Your business already contains everything you need to generate content for years. You just haven't extracted it yet.

Mine 1: Customer questions. What do people ask before they buy? What do they ask after? Each question is a piece of content.

Mine 2: Mistakes you see. What do customers do wrong before finding you? Each mistake is a post, an email, a video.

Mine 3: Your contrarian takes. What does your industry get wrong? What do you believe that most people in your space don't? Each take is a hook.

Mine 4: Process reveals. How do you actually work? What does day-to-day look like? Behind-the-scenes content builds trust because it's unreplicable by competitors.

A real estate agent who never ran out of ideas

She was posting generic market updates that every other agent also posted. Same stats, same "market is hot" commentary, same stock photo of a house.

The shift: She started documenting specific moments from her work:

  • "A buyer offered $20K over asking and still lost. Here's what they should have done differently."
  • "I told a seller their kitchen renovation wouldn't increase their sale price. Here's why."
  • "The three questions I ask every first-time buyer before we look at a single house."
Each post was a real situation she'd experienced that week. No research required. No brainstorming. Just documentation of what was already happening.

The format multiplier

Each idea can be expressed in multiple formats:

  • The short version (tweet or LinkedIn post)
  • The long version (newsletter or blog post)
  • The visual version (carousel or video)
  • The interactive version (poll or question)
Four formats per idea means 10 ideas become 40 pieces of content.
