Preparation Before Sharing
Before distributing content, you only need two simple things:- A Seed Idea in the Sharing state: Contains a complete Core Asset and ready-to-use Creative Nodes in its Attachments.
- Ready channels: Your home base for long-form content (like your website or blog) and your social channels used to connect with your audience.
Step 1 — Execute Distribution
Your distribution strategy always follows one simple rule: publish long-form first, then break it down into bite-sized content.- Publish long-form content as your home base:
- Take the Core Asset from your Seed Idea and publish it as a complete guide on your main website or blog.
- This is your home base, preserving your intellectual property where it won’t disappear in fast-moving social feeds.
- Repurpose content from Creative Nodes:
- Open the Attachments field of your Seed Idea to access your pre-written Creative Nodes.
- Post these short snippets on social media, send them in email newsletters, or record them as short video scripts.
- Inside each short post, include a link leading readers back to your long-form Core Asset to explore the full solution.
Step 2 — Process Audience Feedback
Sharing is never a one-way street where you post and walk away. This is when you pay close attention to how the market receives your ideas:- Listen to reader reactions:
- Watch comments, direct messages, questions, and objections beneath your posts.
- Notice where readers get stuck, ask for clarification, or struggle to apply your advice.
- Collect feedback inside Attachments:
- Pick the most insightful questions or thoughtful objections, and drop them directly into the Attachments field of your Seed Idea.
- These real-world observations expose your blind spots, helping you refine your solution or inspire follow-up content.
Step 3 — Make Decisions
Based on audience feedback and business results from Step 2, make a clear decision for your seed idea:- When content performs well:
- Readers actively engage, ask to buy your solution, or report great results from your advice.
- Move the seed into the Validated state.
- Use the customer questions saved in Attachments to upgrade your Core Asset into a higher-tier guide or digital product you can sell repeatedly.
- When content falls flat:
- Nobody cares about the post, or you realize this idea requires too much maintenance for too little return.
- Move the seed into Archived.
- Stopping rule: Never waste weeks endlessly tweaking an unproven idea. Archive it cleanly to free your mind, and move on to your next seed idea.
