Welcome to The Growth Innovator. Weekly exclusive content where I break down how to build a profitable personal brand and business online.

Today’s Email:

• YouTube Creators

• Niche Creators (Competition)

• Auto-Fill on Search Results

• Answer Socrates

• TL;DR

Alright, Let’s Innovate:

As a creator and business owner who has been publishing content online for over ten years, some days I do find it challenging to come up with original ideas (that will perform well).

You’ve probably run into this problem before:

• You miss a day of posting.

• You post late due to a lack of ideas.

• You spend hours thinking without any ideas.

We’ve all been there.

So today, I’m showing you my top four ways to get content ideas almost immediately after searching for them. These content ideas will be based on what your ideal clients are ACTUALLY looking for, not just basic ideas.

One thing to note: always talk to your customers. The strategies I’m about to show you shouldn’t be the ONLY methods you use, but use them as a start.

Here we go:

1. YouTube Creators

YouTube has some of the best ideas for what your audience would find intriguing.

Here’s how to properly use the platform:

1. Search for your niche (or related keywords).

2. Find what keywords are working for other creators.

3. Filter the videos from the past month to get recent results.

For the example below, keywords like “How to Make Money on LinkedIn” or “The Fastest Way to Make Money on LinkedIn” would be perfect.

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Use what’s already available at your fingertips.

2. Niche Creators (Competition)

Watch your competition. You should be paying attention to what’s already working for other creators in your niche.

Look at the following from your competition:

1. What questions do they solve?

2. What solutions do they provide?

3. What their audience struggles with.

If a creator in your niche has a fantastic free online course called “The Ultimate Guide to Dropshipping w/ Shopify,” you could create something similar but focused more specifically on different audiences.

If the product/service is validated by someone else, your work has become much more manageable.

3. Auto-Fill on Search Results

You’ll get the top results (autofill) below the search bar when you ask a question on almost any search engine.

These alone offer hundreds of quick ideas that other users are searching for on the web. The more people searching for a specific question, the better.

Take a look at the example below:

When I search “how to create content on LinkedIn,” I find that business owners are looking to create “engaging” content with an actual “strategy.” I know exactly what people are searching for.

Now, you have plenty of ideas to start building off of.

4. Answer Socrates

If you haven’t tried Socrates yet, it’s a must-use for content ideas.

Depending on your niche and your audience's location, you can find the top questions and topics people discuss worldwide.

All you have to do is enter a keyword or phrase, and you’re set:

Help creators and entrepreneurs build their online businesses on LinkedIn. You can use keywords such as “create content on LinkedIn,” “LinkedIn coach,” “make money on LinkedIn,” or “create a 6-figure business on LinkedIn.”

Use the image below as guidance on how the tool works.

After going through these four methods, you’ll have many content ideas to start publishing immediately.

There’s no better time to start building on LinkedIn than today.
