Most Content Creators have no idea what to post because they lack the system to generate consistent, high-value ideas that build their authority while impacting their audience's lives.
My Authority Loop allows me to post every day and be of use to my audience, without burnout.
If you want to generate more leads through social media, building authority is one of the key goals you should set.
Authority is built through a library of high-value content that your ideal customer can get access to whenever they come to know about your Brand.
If you want to create your own high-value library, but you have no idea about where to start or how to keep the creative engine going, I’m sharing with you my Authority Loop to erase this issue forever.
I’m studying marketing fundamentals and translating them into practical lessons for business owners who are building authority through content.
1- Check your niche statement
Your niche statement tells you who you are serving and through what tools and methods.
It guides your decisions because it’s as if your ideal viewer or reader were in front of you, asking you for help to solve their problem.
2 - Brain dump pain points your audience may have
You have your ideal viewer or reader in front of you, think about what they may be experiencing that pains them, issues, limits, and more.
If you have data and interviews, use them to put on paper all the possible pain points they may have.
I suggest you write them in bullets and as generic as possible. Keep your list close to you because you will constantly check it and enrich it, the more ideas come to your mind.
By doing this, you will generate a library of effective and diverse content that still feels connected as a web. Since you are referring to a specific person with different pain points, you are addressing different issues that are linked to each other under the bigger umbrella of your niche and your customer’s segmentation.
What market are you in?
What tools do you use to solve problems?
What category of people do you serve? Ethnicity, passions, culture, gender, etc.
Your approach is going to be different and unique depending on your answers to these questions, just like a psychologist treats the same person differently than a Personal Trainer or a salesman.
3 - Pick one
Pick one of the pain points you wrote and let’s work with that.
4 - Write 2 pieces of content about it: one long-form, one short-form.
Whether you only post videos or not, it's vital that you start with writing.
By writing 2 different kinds of posts, you end up impacting your audience differently.
With short-form content, you are motivating, inspiring, and leaving room for your audience to elaborate on what you presented to them. This type of content requires great copywriting skills because the piece has to be impactful, exhaustive, and memorable in a couple of sentences.
Long-form content allows you to dive deeper into what you are talking about.
You generate new ideas starting from the main one, touch on new points you can use to make more content, and ultimately, it helps you gain clarity and perfect your methods and communication skills.
The more you explore the pain point and how to solve the problem, the better you become at helping your audience.
5 - Now take the same pain point and add more context: my audience has this pain point because…
When you give context to a pain point, you generate a new set of solutions for your audience.
For example, if they struggle with consistency at the gym (a little broad), you can write about mindset, discipline, and other mindset tools; if your audience struggles with consistency at the gym because they are busy with their job, you’ll talk about productivity and time management.
You could use the same method, starting from a problem and then linking it to different categories of people, such as “Consistency at the gym for toddlers’ moms” or “Consistency at the gym for teenagers who struggle with self-esteem”.
As you can see, the more the details, the more the ideas.
6 - Write 2 more pieces
You already know the game, at this point.
7 - Repeat
Remember that a messy action is better than a perfect plan without execution.
Begin from my framework when you start writing, and you will never experience the issue of staring at a blank page again.
Now you have the key to build a library of valuable and useful content that you can use for multiple platforms and formats. You can perfect my framework, build a new method, and enrich your list of pain points.
The possibilities are endless when you get started, and show up consistently and with purpose.
