You Might Be a Content Creator… and You Might Be Sitting on a Goldmine

7 ultra-relatable moments that double as income-generating ideas—if you know what to do with them

"If you’ve ever accidentally discovered your keyboard makes a great pillow, you might be a content creator!"

👉 Content Profit Action:
Create a "Burnout-Proof Content System" mini-product or checklist. Share your crash-and-burn moment, then teach how you batch, automate, or schedule smarter now. Add a soft upsell for your full workflow or course.

💡 Bonus Move: Record a short “I fell asleep on my keyboard, so you don’t have to” story as a hook for your sales page or webinar.

"If you send or respond to emails, you might be a content creator!"

👉 Content Profit Action:
Turn your email replies into sales page swipes, FAQ content, or client onboarding sequences. You’re already writing—might as well make it evergreen. Bundle your top 10 replies into a $9 “Copy & Paste Email Vault.”

💡 Bonus Move: Monetize your most frequently answered question with a paid resource.

"If you’ve ever checked your stats for your recent Substack post or Note during sex, you might be a content creator!"

👉 Content Profit Action:
First… maybe log out. 😅 Then, use that obsession to build a “Behind the Stats” breakdown series where you teach how you grow, engage, or monetize your newsletter. Charge for premium insights or offer consulting to other creators.

💡 Bonus Move: Turn it into a spicy lead magnet: “I Checked My Substack Stats During Sex… And Here’s What It Taught Me About Engagement.”

"If you’ve ever created a 7 item grocery list, you might be a content creator!"

👉 Content Profit Action:
Turn your list-making skills into a content batching template. Use categories like “Main dish = main offer, snacks = micro-content, drinks = email topics.” Teach this method in a live workshop or mini-course.

💡 Bonus Move: Offer a Notion or Canva template called “Content Cart™ – The Weekly Planning System for Creators Who Hate Planning.”

"If you’ve ever sent one of those nauseating 'look at all we did this year' holiday cards, you might be a content creator!"

👉 Content Profit Action:
Turn your “year in review” into a year-in-results case study—but make it juicy, strategic, and sellable. Title it something like “From Burnout to $XK: My Year of Messy, Profitable Content.” Offer it as a paid PDF, a workshop replay, or a storytelling masterclass.

💡 Bonus Move: Make it interactive—build a “Create Your Own Year-in-Profit Story” template that other creators can use to recap their year and subtly pitch themselves too.

"If you create a daily to-do list, you might be a content creator!"

👉 Content Profit Action:
Take that to-do list and flip it into a Content Creator’s Daily Money Moves™ checklist. Package your real daily workflow (even if it's messy) into a $19 Notion template, printable, or “Get Paid Daily” tracker.

💡 Bonus Move: Add a weekly “Profit Power Tasks” column and upsell your 1:1 strategy call or membership where you help people turn their list into a revenue engine.

"If half your best content ideas come in the shower and you forget them by the time you dry off, you might be a content creator."

👉 Content Profit Action:
Create a "Shower to Strategy" voice note system. Record your thoughts post-shower (or wherever inspiration hits), then turn them into a “10 Ideas in 10 Minutes” paid content vault or idea bank.

💡 Bonus Move: Sell your top 5 shower thoughts that turned into profitable content/products as a paid case study.

Let’s keep the party going!
