3 Rules to Quickly Find Ideas for Your Next Content
The only guides you need to strive in the processes
Everyone feels the same thing about making content, that is super hard to produce and organize.
Right now, we live in a world where content is king (or queen).
Content now becomes a valuable commodity. It means finding excellent quality content that provides us with helpful knowledge and tips would be a gem.
Many content creators, including writers, had profited remarkably just by creating content. Making millions of dollars is not just an imaginary thought now, because quality content could funnel the thought.
While producing quality content wins you in every existing competition, ironically, generating ones is also a dreadful task to do.
However, don’t get intimidated because so much content scattered on the internet has given us the tremendous opportunity to take inspiration from it.
Here are 3 rules you can do to find ideas for your next content immediately.
1. Consistently Read, Watch, or Listen to Other Content Creators
The content we see on the internet has different forms of media, ranging from writings, podcasts, or videos. The need to dive deep into those three different aspects could massively benefit us.
How much content from different media you consume gives various insights on how to approach and create things. With so much information you store in your brain, it could help you get through the hard process.
The more you learn, the more you know that things, like ideas, are somehow connected on their own without you having to know it’s correlated.
It just connected naturally. All you have to do is to connect the dots among every idea.
2. Cross-Field Experiment
I’d be honest with you who read this. I got the title of this article from watching some productivity YouTuber on YouTube.
After I watched his video, it inspired me to create the same content, but with a completely different focus. While he speaks about improving life, I try to talk about improving “writing”.
So I tell myself “hey why don’t you mimic his title, but incorporate it with what you are passionate about and know well (in this case about ‘writing’)”.
And “VOILA!” What you read now results from my cross-field experiment.
You can apply the same technique I used to produce the next content I want to write instantly.
3. Actualization
We keep notes of every idea which has crossed our minds. Either it’s coming from thinking, reading, seeing, or watching things or concepts. All ideas are great, even the bad ones still count as an idea.
The only unfavorable thing to do is when you’re not trying to actualize the ideas into content that contains useful and thorough information.
Don’t just note ideas. Try to put the ideas into a full paragraph or sentence. It doesn’t have to be fully written, it can be a full conversation or full video.
Decide what the title is about and how you will organize and outline the thought immediately when you catch interesting ideas that cross your mind.
Make it real as if tomorrow is the deadline. Make it as actual as you can.
Final Thoughts
Every time we open social media or even just surfing on the web, we’d see a lot of content scattered around the internet. It gives not only you the chance to consume it, but also to learn and seek your next ideas. In a never-ending world full of content, you need to be as fast as you can to show up with new ideas and not get behind in the competition.
