Great content starts with listening, not brainstorming.
The problem is that most people ignore their most valuable source: the exact language their clients use to describe their frustrations, goals, and roadblocks.
That’s your next hook.
Your next post.
Your next lead magnet.
But instead, most people try to sound
smart,
professional,
like thought leaders.
And they end up sounding like nothing their ideal clients relate to, understand, or click on.
Then they wonder why their “good content” only gets likes from peers and ex-colleagues.
It’s not the content that’s the problem.
It’s the language.
If you’re still gathering insights from your market, that’s great
but only if you know what to listen for.
You’re not doing market research.
You’re collecting real phrases your audience already uses.
Things like:
“Feels like I’m posting into a void.”
“People like my posts, but no one reaches out.”
“Still not sure how to explain what I do clearly.”
“I’ve got ideas, but I don’t know how to write them so they land.”
“I’m consistent, but I’m not getting actual leads.”
These are your future hooks.
Your next newsletter topic.
Your next carousel headline.
Most experts try to convince the market to understand them.
Top experts do the opposite.
They speak the market’s language and get recognized instantly.
Here’s how to build a system powered by client signals:
1. Zoom calls → strategy goldmine
Every recorded call is full of clues.
From just one session, you can extract:
• hooks based on real frustrations
• lead magnet ideas from repeated challenges
• content pillars aligned with how clients describe their pain
• newsletter angles based on their aha moments
• even full frameworks inspired by how they think out loud
One Zoom call can fuel a full month of content if you know what to listen for.
2. Comments → market feedback loop
Good content sparks conversation.
Great content learns from it.
What you can do here:
• find what resonated
• identify what confused people
• discover phrases that can become new hooks
• build follow-up posts from recurring insights
It’s an ongoing loop that sharpens clarity and deepens relevance.
3. DMs → untapped buyer language
A DM isn’t just a private message.
It’s a system you can analyze to:
• capture common objections and questions
• extract compliments that highlight positioning
• build content that responds to real interest
• turn one-on-one language into one-to-many assets
When tracked correctly, your DMs don’t just close sales.
They open up your content strategy.
Start documenting what your market actually says.
Build a content system around their words, not assumptions.
We do this inside our Brand Booster system.
