Get your ideas out of your head. Post them online. Make yourself memorable

Simple, but effective

Above you basically have the same thing but as a long-form on X, I think I’ll try to promote this kind of post more since I gain double the views from one person (if they do decide to read)

But I’m not going to just give you the same advice here.

Little personal story (skip ahead if you just want your promise in the title)

I’ve had a good group of friends. We started hanging out in 9th grade( the beginning of high school)

New opportunities to meet people, engage, be social, and have a good time as the teenagers that we are.

But today I found out some news that shook me to my core and left me pondering all day.

Apart from having a very very difficult exam (harder than it was supposed to be, a simulation for the final end -of high school one in July), an exam where I felt like smashing my head into the desk from the absurdity of some questions. ( I won’t compare more, because you’d have to be among the students to fully understand it)

Anyway, a group of friends. One of them is having their 18th birthday this Saturday.

And to my surprise, I wasn’t invited.

When you consider someone close but their mind is the polar opposite of yours, it hurts. A lot.

I won’t go into the reasons, but believe me, they are stupid.

Again, this resulted in me feeling frustrated, sad, and with 0 motivation to put out content for the day.

But as I write my feelings out, it feels liberating.

Somehow, the emotions just go from my head, into “paper” (digital ink)

The lack of quality shows, so I apologize for that.

But back to the main topic.

In the same way, I’ve put my emotions into writing, you too can put your ideas (the positive ones) into your audience’s mind.

How?

By a simple 3-step formula.

And it all starts with:

1) Discovery

I started out by discovering what made my ideas mine.

Not any idea is valuable, but a valuable idea can come from anywhere.

• Reading a book
• Listening to a podcast
• Watching a YouTube video

They are all great, but the way I validate “original” ideas is by writing more.

• Open a blank page
• Start with how your day went, a favorite topic, or just something you found interesting
• Write as much as you can without second-guessing yourself.

Start by writing for yourself, then for others.

moving on to…

2) Distribution

Once you empty your mind, it’s time to feed others your ideas.

Your raw ideas, as good as you might think they are, will not perform well in their natural form.

They were just born.

They need to grow into something that’s likable to a broader set of ideas, inputs, and outputs. (people’s mentalities )

• Test them against others
• Give them the best chance to succeed by learning hooks, structure, and formatting.
• Repurpose the ones that perform best.

Let your ideas fight it out on the timeline of others.

3) From idea to action

The most powerful technique that the best content writers have is having a CTA.

A call to action. A direct push from the writer to the reader to do something.

So given an end goal.

The writer plans out the exact roadmap, framework, and set of actions that the reader needs to take to achieve said goal.

Actionable advice is more powerful than you think

Bonus:

Ideas stick best when they are accompanied by:

• Visual content
• Audio content
• Actionable advice
• Unusual pattern breaks in the normal way of thinking
• A relatable story

With all that said.

Thanks for reading!
