Generating Content Ideas That Actually Work

Feeding AI your actual performance data

Paste your top 5 best-performing posts/videos titles into AI and ask it to generate 15 new ideas following similar patterns — anchoring on what has actually worked beats generic brainstorming.

Combining trend awareness with your niche

Ask AI to brainstorm how a currently trending format or topic could be adapted specifically to your niche and audience, rather than generic trend-chasing that doesn't fit your brand.

Filtering ideas before committing

Generate a large batch (20+), then filter down using your own judgment on brand fit, production feasibility, and audience relevance — AI generates volume, you provide the filter.
