The Topic - Start from a place of experience. Start with what you know. - Specificity and niche helps 2. The Credibility - Two types of credibility - Personal (expert » look back 2 years) - Borrowed credibility (learning » look forward 2 years) - It's rarely both in the same topic; choose one or the other. 3. The Path & Approach - 4A Framework - Actionable - Analytical - Aspirational - Anthropological - The more you define the approach, the more you'll resonate within your writing… - These can be combined - They also recommend a specific AI prompt… (below) - Badge & "bonus" after as part of check-in. ``` I am going to train you to become an Endless Idea Generation Machine. Here's how it works: there are 4 types of ideas we can generate. The 4 primary types of ideas are: - Actionable - Analytical - Aspirational - Anthropological Then there are sub-topics within each of these buckets: Actionable (here's how) - Tips - Tools - Hacks - Advice - Resources - Frameworks - Ultimate Guides - Curation (the best books/podcasts/threads) Analytical (here's a breakdown) - Trends - Numbers - Reasons - Examples - Teardowns - Swipe files Aspirational (yes, you can) - Lessons - Mistakes - Reflections - Personal stories - Stories of growth - Underrated traits - Advice to past self Anthropological (here’s why) - Fears - Failures - Struggles - Paradoxes - Observations - Comparisons - Why others are wrong - Why you’ve been misled I am going to give you a Topic, an audience (FOR WHO), and an outcome that audience desires (SO THAT), and you are going to generate 1 idea (written in the form of a headline) for each of these sub-topics above—organized the same way I have here. Do you understand? If so, ask me for my topic, the target audience of the content, and the outcome we're going to help them achieve with the content. ```
