What is a content idea generator?
A content idea generator is a tool that suggests what to post next. You tell it where you post, the format and your niche, and it gives you ideas you can act on today. This one writes five at a time, each with a title you can use as a hook, a short plan and a few hashtags.
How do you find content ideas that people engage with?
Post about things you've done, not things you've read. People engage with a specific story, a real number or a clear opinion far more than with general advice. Use the generator to get angles, then fill each one with something only you know, like a client question or a mistake you made last month.
- Answer questions you get asked. If three clients asked it, more people want the answer.
- Show the work. A before and after, a draft, or what a normal Tuesday looks like.
- Take a side. Say what you think most people in your niche get wrong, and why.
- Reuse what worked. A post that did well can come back as a carousel, a thread or a video.
Which formats work on each network?
Each network rewards a different shape of post, so the same idea should look different on LinkedIn than on TikTok. Here's a starting point for the networks the generator supports.
| Network | Formats | An idea that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Text post, carousel | A lesson from your work, with one real number | |
| X | Post, thread | A sharp opinion, or a list you can split into a thread |
| Carousel, reel | A how-to in five to eight slides | |
| TikTok | Short video | A hook in the first two seconds, then one tip |
| YouTube | Video, short | A question people search for, answered fully |
From idea to post
An idea is the easy part. Writing it in a way that sounds like you, and posting it every week, is where most plans stop. That's what Postel does: it learns how you write, drafts LinkedIn and X posts from your ideas and notes, and schedules them.
For the first line of a post, try the hook generator. To write a full LinkedIn post, use the LinkedIn post generator.
