- Endless Idea Generator
1. 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.
