The No-BS Guide to Content Creation for Influencers, Visionaries & Business Owners | 5 Steps

Ready to slay content creation without selling your soul to the algorithm gods? This no-BS guide for influencers, visionaries, business owners, and lifestyle disruptors spills the secrets to viral content, personal branding, audience engagement, and thought leadership—without boring you to death. Learn how to repurpose like a pro, coin your own framework, and create content that converts (and cracks a smile).

Creating content that doesn’t suck is harder than it looks. If you’re an influencer, visionary, business owner, or lifestyle disruptor (we see you with your oat milk empire), you’re probably drowning in posts, reels, newsletters, DMs, SEO hacks, algorithm conspiracy theories, and 17 browser tabs titled “How to go viral.”


Breathe.


I’m about to hand you the secret scrolls of content domination—without the fluff, funnels, or fake followers.


Step 1: Know Thy Audience (And Stop Posting for Your Ego)

Your content isn’t a therapy session. It’s a conversation. So before you hit “post,” ask:

  • Who is this really for?

  • What do they obsess over?

  • What are they sick of hearing?

Influencers: Your audience doesn’t need another aesthetic matcha pic unless it’s part of a story arc

Visionaries: Don’t just preach—teach

Business owners: Drop the jargon, explain like they’re 5

Lifestyle disruptors: Don’t just break the mold—explain why the mold sucked


target audience, content that converts, niche clarity, authenticity, brand voice


Step 2: Create Content with a Spine (a.k.a. Use Archetypes)

If your content is flopping harder than a bad crypto investment, it’s probably because it’s aimless. You need a content archetype—a structure with a purpose.


Here are the holy seven:

  1. Teach Me Something (educational content)

  2. Make Me Laugh (entertaining content)

  3. Make Me Cry (emotional/inspirational content)

  4. Show Me How It’s Done (behind-the-scenes/process)

  5. Make Me Feel Seen (relatable/identity-based content)

  6. Prove It Works (results/testimonials/case studies)

  7. Shake Me Awake (hot takes, myths, contrarian views)

Mix these like a cocktail. Don’t just be a teacher. Be a movement.

Step 3: Repetition Isn’t Redundancy, It’s Branding

Look. Beyoncé doesn’t reinvent herself every Tuesday. Neither should you.


Your audience needs to hear your message 10 different ways before it clicks. Repackage your best content across platforms. One great idea can become:

  • A tweet

  • A 5-frame Instagram carousel

  • A 60-second TikTok

  • A “here’s how I did it” newsletter

  • A podcast mini-episode

  • A LinkedIn post your cousin will accidentally like

This is content leverage—not laziness.

Step 4: Thought Leaders Coin Words—Not Just Post Words

Want to stand out in 2025? Coin your own terms.


It worked for:

  • Marie Kondo (spark joy)

  • Tim Ferriss (lifestyle design)

  • Alex Hormozi (value equation)

  • Brené Brown (vulnerability hangover)

Create your own intellectual property. Name your process. Trademark your framework. Own your weird metaphors. Be the one who defines the conversation—not reacts to it.

Step 5: Infuse Personality Like It’s Espresso in a Bland Latte

Nobody wants to read content written by a toaster. Infuse every piece of content with your weird, your humor, your vibe, your hot takes. Share failures. Show behind-the-scenes chaos. Laugh at yourself. Be real—but strategic.


No one remembers “polished.” They remember “that post where she called herself a recovering perfectionist with Wi-Fi anxiety.


authenticity in branding, personality-driven marketing, relatable content, voice and tone


Bonus Hack: The 70/20/10 Rule of Content Creation

This applies to every disruptive brand worth their salt:

  • 70% = Evergreen, niche content (what you’re known for)

  • 20% = Experiments, new formats, trend riding

  • 10% = Wild card (personal rants, memes, life updates, cat in a wig)

This keeps your feed fresh, balanced, and less likely to induce content burnout.


Stop treating your posts like filler. Start treating them like micro assets—each one either builds trust, converts a lead, attracts your tribe, or repels the wrong people (which is a feature, not a bug).
