Hey Creators,

We all know that feeling: the desire to create, coupled with the fear of judgment. 

This LinkedIn post struck a chord with 346,509 people by highlighting the common struggle of procrastination, driven by the fear of what others might think. The video has been watched 2,757 minutes and counting.

Why it performed well:

  1. Relatable Struggle: Procrastination is common. By opening with "Tomorrow," the post instantly connects with the audience's experiences.

  2. Humor: The fear of a second-grade friend seeing your video is funny and disarming. It lightens the mood while acknowledging a real concern.

  3. Empowerment: The post shifts the focus from external judgment to internal motivation. It challenges us to question negativity and pursue our dreams.

  4. Actionable Advice: Concrete tips like "If it doesn't scare you, it's not a big idea" provide practical ways to overcome fear and take action.

  5. Authenticity: My admission of falling flat on my face makes this message more relatable.

Strategies for creating valuable content regularly:

  1. Tap into shared experiences: What challenges or emotions do you and your audience have in common?

  2. Use humor and storytelling: Make your content engaging and memorable.

  3. Offer practical solutions: Provide actionable steps or insights that your audience can use.

  4. Be authentic and vulnerable: Share your own experiences, even the setbacks.

  5. Don't be afraid to experiment: Try new formats, topics, and approaches to see what resonates.

Remember, the most valuable content is the content that connects with your audience on an emotional level and leaves them feeling inspired and empowered.

Keep creating, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep being yourself.
