QUESTION OF THE DAY: How do you generate your content ideas?
As a Content Writer and Storyteller, I have consistently dealt with this particular question over time. And most times, when I give a sincere response of; "content ideas just kinda come to me", some people tend to give me the weirdest look🤧
The kind of weird look that has made my brain; process two answers with two characters.
You know that cartoon instance where the good character (Jesus) stands on one shoulder and encourages you to do the right thing by giving a genuine response while the bad character with a pitchfork (satan) stands on the other shoulder and tells you to give a sarcastic response.
Yes, that sort of thing.
But after critically analyzing the weightlessness of my honest response, I had to make the effort to keep a tab on my cycle of idea generations and come up with a practicable MIRAspeaks method which is a personalized acronym known as the LIE Strategy.
And today, I will be dwelling on the L–Strategy which means LISTEN.
As a Content Writer or a brand Storyteller, it is important to note that there exists an unbreakable connection between the gift of listening and the five sense organs (a story for another day)
But to give a quick overview, just know that
With your EARS, you can listen to certain discussions and create content from them.
With your EYES, you can witness certain events and create content from them.
With your NOSE, you can pick up certain environmental smells and create content from them.
With your TONGUE, you can taste certain edibles and create content from them.
With your SKIN, you can feel certain things and create content from them.
With your BRAIN, you can imagine so many things and create content from them.
The L–Strategy just emphasizes on being able to Listen inwardly to your personal experiences and outwardly to some everyday events and then generate mind-blowing ideas from them.
I hope you got value.
