Creative Content Creation Formats For You To Practice On Steemit
This has nothing to do with my last post on beating the imposter syndrome- yet. I'm digressing a little 'cause I stumbled upon something interesting which might help you and be of your interest.
As usual, when I'm busy creating content for the day, I stumbled upon an eye-catching idea from one of my favorite content generators that I'd like to share with all Steemians.
If you stay with me throughout this post, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Remember I used to share with you on the methods of generating unlimited content?
The more an idea is developed, the more concise becomes its expression; the more a tree is pruned, the better is the fruit. - Alfred Bougeart
Well, in this post, I'd like to propose ways to convert these ideas into different format of contents.
Yes. You don't have to only write in Steemit.
You can also use this post as a point of reference* for yourself in the near future when you run out of words. (*just resteem it if only you find this useful)
Sometimes it's also best to vary your content between different formats, so your audience will have a fresh perspective towards your content.
Additionally, creating content in various formats allows you to repurpose your work effectively.

Here are ways you can realize your amazing ideas. Just let your creativity go wild...
- Recommend must read books.
- Travel hacks and tips
- Share your bucket list. Then take your audience through your life journey.
- Interview an interesting person.
- Allow ‘sneak peeks’ into new projects. This is different than point #7 because it’s only a snippet and not the whole scene.
- Compile a listicle
- Share your ‘behind the scenes’ experience of anything.
- List your favorite quotes. (@Maverickfoo did extremely well with his quotes. Follow him and you’ll understand what I mean)
- Review a book
- Critic a movie
- Post about your branded image, with your logo or website in it.
- Infographics
- Let the world know about your favorite brands (e.g. Starbucks)
- Repurpose your powerpoint slides and post them on Slideshare (then share your link or embed it in Steemit)
- Predict future trends (Your thought counts. Any insightful topic will garner audience’s attention)
- Document a shopping trip (This sometimes works for some brands. If you’re a fashion influencer, your audience might love this idea)
- Videos, videos, videos (I’m sure you love them too!)
- Write a post-event synopsis (Works if you just attended a conference or an event. Like #Steemfest)
- Demo a step by step (Recipes usually work in this case)
- Create a podcast. (If you love creating videos but are shy to show your face, podcast works too)
- Put up a ‘Did you know’ (We loved them, don’t we?)
- Conduct and/or write a case study
- Highlight somebody else’s story (This is more personal than a case study so it’s different)
- Roundup useful links for Steemians (Like how
@bitrocker2020 did brilliantly here for Steemians to improve on their post formatting. It’s super useful I even resteemed and bookmarked it)
- Write a beginner’s guide
- Compile inspiring stories
- Share lessons learned. (Like my post here, on lessons learned after being on hiatus for 48 hours)
- Hack works too :)
- Create a followup series revolving a specific topic. (Love what
@davemccoy did here with his video installments)
- Spill the beans and darkest secrets (Be sure to keep the names anonymous)
- And if you're amazing with poems, do it!
Let me know which works for you and are your personal favs :)
PS: Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the content generator app which I love using to generate countless post ideas is no other than PromoRepublic. I still have other few suggestions that I'd only recommend as they're useful, and cheap sources that I personally use and love!

These days I mostly write on Steemit.
I still have my portfolio and personal sites- virtuallydebbie.com and debbieang.com.
But these sites will eventually redirect you to my Steemit blog.
Well, what can I say. If it’s good stuff, you can’t get enough of it :)
Follow me and I'll take you through my unpredictable journey- filled with wilderness, curiosity and randomness.
