Four Ways to Never Run Out of Ideas: Expertise Mining, the 5-Year Reflection Interview, Audience-Question Mining in Perplexity, and Competitor Analysis

Five steps: generate ideas, write hooks, write posts, schedule, review weekly and iterate - in one weekly block instead of daily writing. Before any of it, ask the persistent chat to summarise the pillar work into a 'positioning canvas' (story, mission, one person, pains, offer, frameworks), save it in Google Docs, and upload it to any fresh chat so prompts stay specific instead of generic.

Prompt: 'I need 50 content ideas for my LinkedIn based on my expertise. My background: [niche, audience, expertise, problems I solve, transformations, frameworks]. Create 50 ideas: 20 how-to, 15 mistakes, 10 frameworks, 5 controversial. Format each as hook style, headline, content type, key insight.' Follow-up: 'Pick the 10 with the highest potential to go viral and say why.' Run in ChatGPT, then repeated in a fresh Claude (Opus) chat with the canvas uploaded for a second set.

Pick a window (2, 5 or 10 years). Seven pillars with seed questions ('most expensive mistake?', 'imposter-syndrome moment?'). Prompt: 'Help me mine my past 5 years for LinkedIn content using the 7 reflective pillars. Interview me one pillar at a time. After each answer, generate 10 specific content ideas.' Answer in voice or dictation mode rather than typing - demoed live, with a voice-mode glitch and a switch to dictation. This feeds the 25% vulnerability pillar with content that cannot be found generically.

Method 3: 'What are the top 50 questions [audience, e.g. local businesses in real estate, cleaning, manufacturing doing $50k+/month] are asking about [topic]?' - Perplexity searches LinkedIn, Reddit, Quora, Google and forums and sorts by most frequent, most painful, most misunderstood; then 'create 30 ideas: hook, angle, 3-5 points, CTA'. The trainer had heard one generated question from a real prospect that day. Method 4: pick 5-10 growing competitors, collect 5-10 best posts each (Supergrow analytics optional), write a better version with your own opinion and experience - inspiration, not copying ('Steal Like an Artist').
