Don’t overthink authentic content creation:
Help others learn from your mistakes, success, and your approach to tackling the future.
Even if you don’t care about helping others, there are three powerful benefits for your own good.
1. Putting these things on paper will improve your decision-making.
2. Sharing your knowledge online attracts opportunities. So you might get to a point where you can trash your CV.
3. Expand your network and meet new people. Sharing ideas online is like a magnet for this.
Ok, so you know the WHY. Let's figure out WHAT and HOW.
First, WHAT should you share?
Lessons from the past.
1. Mistakes you made, and what would you do differently?
2. Successes you had, and what lead to them?
3. Pivoting points in your life. What happened, how you handled them?
4. How you deal with change, and how you force change in your life?
Approach to tackling the future.
1. What are your goals, and how you plan to achieve them?
2. What have you learned to position yourself for success?
3. What have you learned from your idols?
Ok, this should be enough to get you started of WHAT you can share.
Now let's move to HOW you can share it.
Write on Twitter, LinkedIn, Blog, Substack, Medium, Reddit, and gazillion other places. Choose your favorite and go. You can change and re-purpose your stuff later. And you know how to write so this is the most obvious one.
Next. Feeling decent on camera? Grab your phone and dominate TikTok, Instagram Reals, or youtube shorts. Heck, you can probs pull off a decent youtube video these days with just a phone.
Mix text with visuals as I do. I started my own creative career by sharing visuals around creative struggles. Trust me you don't need to be a designer to do this, check my resources here: ozo.is , ozo.is , ozo.is
Ok, those are 3 ways HOW you can share this stuff.
The downside is really small, and the upside can be life-changing.
Humans have a lot of overlap, and there are loads of people who can benefit from this.
So, don't be stingy with your wisdom and share it with the world.
Ok, the thread is done, and in the spirit of threads, I need to plug my newsletter at the very end. Here it is ozolinsjanis.com
P.S. - Got a very positive response from the last issue. You'll get it right away when you sign up.
