The Cheat Codes to Never Running Out of Ideas

Hi there,

You ever scroll through LinkedIn and wonder, "How is every other 17-year-old with zero experience posting like a thought leader, while I’m sitting here stuck?"

Same.

Even with all my experience and wins, I’ve stared at that dreaded blank page more times than I can count. But the secret isn’t about being a better writer. The best content creators are just better at collecting ideas.

Let me explain.

The Cheat Codes to Never Running Out of Ideas

An Idea Bank:

Think of this as your personal dump of raw content ideas. It’s messy, unfiltered, and lives in whatever app you’re glued to most (Notes, Notion, napkins, whatever works). The rule is to capture every idea, no matter how dumb it seems at the time.

(Pro tip: only about 1 in 10 ideas will actually make the cut, and that’s normal.)

A Swipe File:

Take the best-performing posts from your favorite creators and break them down into templates. Notice their structure, tone, and flow, and create a reusable outline. Then, when you’ve got your own ideas, you can plug them into these templates and boom—you’ve got a publish-ready post in minutes.

Proof this works?

One of my students, Pedro, used to spend hours struggling with a single LinkedIn post. After trying this system, he’s now cranking out 3–5 posts in just one hour. Same skills, same ideas, but a better system.

Not because he suddenly turned into Shakespeare, but because he always has something to build on.

Trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Till then,

Tim
