Whatcha Up to Today?
Content Suggestion: “A Day in My Life”
Showcase your daily routine to your audience in a format that aligns with your content medium.
This could be a vlog for YouTubers, a blog post for writers, a series of photos for Instagrammers, or even a short, snappy video for TikTokers.
This kind of content tends to resonate because it humanizes the creator and gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at your life.
Personalize it with your unique touch – the more authentic and genuine, the better. Remember to include the highs and lows of your day to create a more relatable narrative.
This kind of transparency can create a deeper connection with your audience.
And it can be fun to make! Maybe not every day, but playing “vlogger” for a day is such a solid creative exercise + easy content!
