This tool generates ideas and templates for educational purposes. Always verify facts, respect platform rules, and use your own judgment (especially for health/finance/legal topics).

📚 How it works

How the Content Idea Generator creates “viral-ready” ideas

Most creators don’t have a motivation problem — they have a selection problem. You sit down to post and you have 40 fuzzy options: “a tip about my niche”, “a story about my journey”, “maybe a list of tools”… and nothing feels sharp enough to publish. This generator fixes that by turning your niche + platform + goal into a repeatable “idea engine”.

The tool uses three layers: (1) content pillars (what you talk about), (2) proven angles (how you frame it), and (3) platform-native packaging (what format wins on that platform). When you hit Generate, the engine chooses angles that match your goal (growth vs leads vs authority), then formats them into posts (titles, hooks, CTAs) that fit YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, newsletters, podcasts, blogs, or LinkedIn.

You can keep things broad (“fitness”) and you’ll still get ideas, but you’ll notice the score improves dramatically when you add specificity (“fitness for busy dads”, “glute training without a gym”, “fat loss after 40”). That’s because specificity does half the work: it tells the algorithm what “real situation” the viewer is in — and real situations create clicks.

The Virality Score formula

The Virality Score (0–100) is not a prediction of views. It’s a quality signal for how “share-worthy” the idea pack is likely to be, based on the inputs you control. In simple terms:

  • Novelty increases the odds someone stops scrolling (“Wait… that’s different”).
  • Practical value increases saves and shares (“I need this later”).
  • Specificity increases clicks (“This is for me”).
  • Emotion increases attention and identity (“That’s exactly what I feel”).
  • Time available influences which formats are realistic: more time enables deeper proof and better packaging.

The score is a weighted blend of those sliders, plus small bonuses when your goal matches the platform’s strengths (for example, TikTok and Instagram reward fast hooks, while newsletters and blogs reward depth and clear frameworks). The meter fills as you adjust the sliders so you can “steer” your idea pack into a higher potential zone.

Why there are 12 ideas

Twelve is intentional: it’s enough variety to spark momentum, but small enough to act on. A typical batch workflow is: pick your top 3 → draft hooks → outline proof → schedule the rest. If you publish 3 times per week, one pack can cover your entire month.

🧪 Examples

Examples you can copy (and why they work)

Here are a few example “templates” the generator uses internally. You’ll see them show up as hooks or titles depending on your platform:

  • The mistake: “Most people do X — here’s why it fails and what to do instead.” (high curiosity)
  • The checklist: “If you’re stuck with X, do these 5 things in order.” (high utility)
  • The teardown: “I reviewed 10 examples of X. Here’s what the best ones share.” (authority + proof)
  • The fast win: “A 10-minute version of X that still works.” (specific + actionable)
  • The myth: “You don’t need Y for X. You need Z.” (novelty + contrarian)

Example for a niche like newsletter growth on LinkedIn: “The 3 subject lines that doubled my open rates (and why).” It works because it contains a number, a result, and implied proof. The same idea on YouTube becomes a deeper piece: “I tested 30 subject lines — these 3 beat the rest (with examples).”

Example for a niche like AI tools on TikTok: “This free AI workflow replaced 3 apps for me (watch this).” The hook is a promise, the proof is a quick demo, the payoff is the steps + a CTA like “comment ‘workflow’ and I’ll drop the template”.

The point isn’t to copy the exact phrasing — it’s to copy the structure: a sharp claim, a fast proof, and a clear payoff.

🧭 Best practices

How to turn ideas into a content system (not random posts)

Viral hits are fun. Consistent growth comes from a system. Use your idea packs to build a simple content flywheel:

  • Pick 3 pillars: teach, prove, and relate. (Education + credibility + human story)
  • Repeat a format: use the same structure for 10 posts so you get faster at it.
  • Measure one thing: for growth, watch retention and saves; for leads, watch clicks and replies.
  • Recycle winners: repackage your top post into 3 formats (short, long, carousel/newsletter).

If you’re selling something, you don’t need “sales posts” every day. You need a trust ramp: value → proof → invitation. Value is the helpful idea. Proof is your example or case study. Invitation is a low-friction CTA: “If you want the template, it’s in my bio,” or “Reply ‘guide’ and I’ll send it.”

Lastly, keep your posts anchored to real moments: a common mistake your audience makes, a recent trend, a constraint (busy, broke, anxious), or a result they want fast. Real moments feel personal. Personal gets shared.

❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this “AI content”?

    No. This page generates ideas using a rule-based template engine in your browser. It gives you structure (angles, hooks, CTAs). You provide the real examples, opinions, and proof.

  • What’s a good Virality Score to aim for?

    Treat it like a quality target, not a promise. 60–75 is usually strong enough to ship. If you want to push higher, increase specificity (who/when/why) and add proof (examples, results, screenshots).

  • Why do my ideas change when I move sliders?

    Each slider controls which templates are chosen. More novelty emphasizes contrarian or “myth” angles. More utility emphasizes checklists, scripts, and step-by-step. More emotion adds story and identity framing.

  • Can I save and reuse idea packs?

    Yes. Click Save Pack to store your most recent pack locally on this device. You can keep up to 20 saved packs.

  • How do I avoid being “generic” in my niche?

    Add constraints. Instead of “productivity tips”, try “productivity for ADHD”, “productivity for new managers”, or “productivity with 30 minutes a day”. Constraints create angles instantly.

  • Is the score the same as predicting views?

    No. Platforms are complex. The score is a heuristic that encourages stronger inputs and clearer packaging. Your distribution, timing, creative, and audience fit still matter.

🛡️ Safety

Use ideas responsibly

Great content is helpful and honest. If you’re discussing sensitive topics (health, money, legal), add disclaimers, cite sources, and avoid definitive claims. If a topic affects someone’s well-being, prioritize clarity over clicks.

A simple “quality check”
  • Is the claim specific and truthful?
  • Do you provide proof (example, demo, story)?
  • Is there a clear takeaway in 1 sentence?
  • Is the CTA appropriate (save/share/subscribe vs buy)?
