Here's how I create unlimited content in minutes.

Steal all my framework for $0.

Thread 🧵↓

Take Notes

You get tons of ideas throughout the day, jotting them down in the ultimate hack.

Take notes when you read something useful, watch something, etc.

Each silly idea you get is a form of content, don't just let it go, jot it down.

Leverage your skills

The best way to never run out of content ideas is to take advantage of whatever you know.

Creating content in your area of expertise is an easy and fast process since you already know about things.

I tweet more about what I do, I never get burned out.

Reuse your old content

When you post a tweet, not all your followers will see it.

Why not post it again after 2-3 months, adding more to it?

As many people say, Twitter is saying one thing in 100 different ways.

Double down on what's working for you.

Document your journey

If you are learning new skills today, share your thoughts and tips.

This is an evergreen hack to never stop posting.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Learn new things + Generate endless content around them.
