I wrestled with the title of this article. My two choices were “Create Content Daily” and “Create Daily Content,” and I decided on the former.
“Create Daily Content” gives us a way out. The idea here is that I could write seven articles on Sunday and slowly trickle them out throughout the week. A way to game the game. There is nothing wrong with this approach, but creating content daily is more about you than the audience.
My story. I just completed my first year of creating content daily. I decided to become a writer, so I wrote 1000+ words every day. That was my pittance to pay for becoming a content creator. To be honest, I love every minute that I am creating.

But you don’t have to be a writer. There are many ways to create content other than writing. Lucky for you, I just wrote about some other forms of content to make in my Passive Income from Creativity series (music, photography, art & design, video, audio & speech, and writing).
Building an audience. One of the main reasons to create content daily is to build an audience. Every successful business in the world requires an audience. Therefore, building an audience is necessary to building a business.
If you can create content daily for five years, you can build an audience large enough to support yourself. It may seem like a tall order, but how badly do you want to be free from your job? How much do you desire to have time for your children and grandchildren?
The driving force. The most important part of creating content daily is your driving force. What motivates you? Trust me; you will need something to inspire you in the beginning.
When you start along the content creation path, you’ll be all alone. Yes, your spouse or significant other may look at your content from time to time, but that’s about all.
20 Creative Ways to Make Money from Home
It may seem that there are tons of content creators out there, but there truly aren’t many. The ratio is 90-9-1. 90% of people are consumers, 9% are editors, and 1% are creators.
So what you are really up against is time. Everyone already has a set schedule, timeline, and arrangement of who they listen to daily. We all have our favorite YouTubers that we have heard for years.
People Change. Now, here you come, new to the game. It is hard to unseat someone from their position on the throne of time. However, as a human evolves, so does their taste and appetite.
When work stressed me, I would watch a lot of video game content. Games are immersive, and watching someone play games is the best of both worlds. You get the immersion without the stress of actually playing yourself. Plus, you can move freely around the house when you aren’t playing.
Nowadays, I watch more content on relationships, finances, and Pokemon. This dynamic means that there is enough room in the content world for you to become successful. People evolve, and so does their choice of content.

Remember the numbers 90-9-1. If you become one of the 1%, you have an excellent chance to build a rather nice-sized audience. However, it’s not going to be easy.
Limiting beliefs. Your limiting beliefs are what will hold you back from creating your dream life via content creation. One of the most powerful limiting beliefs is that of scarcity. Scarcity presents itself with thoughts such as:
- I don’t have enough time.
- Nobody is going to listen to me.
- My English grammar isn’t good enough.
- Someone just created a channel in the space I wanted to enter.
The list could go on forever, but you get my point. If your inner voice is giving you doubts, that’s normal. If you believe what it is saying, you have an issue that needs to be corrected.
The opposite of scarcity is abundance, where you feel the fulfillment of content creation. Once you understand how powerful it is to bring your gift to the world, you can appreciate others’ gifts as well.
For example, my favorite YouTubers create daily Pokemon battle content. He goes online to challenge others to Pokemon battles—that’s all he does every day. He is very entertaining, charismatic, and has a genuine sense of humor.
Success is a Habit: What is Your Daily Routine?
I find myself repeating funny things he says while I work. Every day, I pull up his content as I produce my content for the day. The cycle continues. If you feel you are part of the 1%, then it is your duty to deliver content, no excuses.
What to create. Now, you just need to decide what to produce. As I wrote in “Create a Never-Ending Stream of Content,” divide your topic into five or six sub-topics. Then read books covering each one. You’ll never run out of content.
This topic expansion works for all types of content—let’s take art as an example. I can divide my tattoo art page into six sub-topics—dragons, cartoons, daggers, family crests, fantasy, and romance.
From there, I study books, blogs, and content from people in these particular realms. Somewhere between everyone’s inputs, your original content will begin to form. You’ll have your own opinions and choices you make. Those individual choices are what make you a great content creator. But you have to absorb, learn, and study more than just yourself to become great.
Greatness Unleashed. My main niche is personal finance. My six sub-topics are financial mindset, retirement planning, investing, cryptocurrencies, real estate, and business.
Have Blog, Will Travel
I have to read many books to gain enough knowledge to write my articles continuously. Sometimes, I run low on material in a certain sub-topic, so I grab a book to fill the void.
The article you are reading is in my Business sub-topic; however, limiting beliefs are in my financial mindset category. Your mind will gather all this information and help you create wholly unique content. This “meshing” of ideas and topics is where you reach your true potential and unlock your greatness.
Getting started. If you are serious, decide on your central niche. The three top niches are wealth, health, and relationships. I would begin with one of these higher levels first. Drill down a little bit further, then pick your personal niche.
For example, you can start with health but drill down to “Healthy Living for New Mothers.” Similarly, I picked finance but drilled down to “Military Family Investing.”
Don’t worry about excluding anyone; people will still find you. But it is better to have a pre-built audience than trying to make general content that reaches no one.

Once you have your personal niche, then divide it into six sub-topics. In this case, “Healthy Living for New Mothers” consists of quick healthy meals, proper eating while breastfeeding, outdoor walking, in-home exercise, meal replacements, and losing the baby weight.
Then you read two books on each topic, and you are off to the races. Just start making content in each one of your subtopics per day, and you will build a massive back catalog of content.
Eventually, you will have entire books (or videos, galleries, etc.) of just one sub-topics. Trust me, I am over 700+ articles into my journey, and I can’t even believe I produced this much content. It is genuinely mind-melting to think that your brain can function at such a high level for so long.
Conclusion. Do you have what it takes to become one of the 1 percent? I didn’t mention anything about money because money follows value. After you add value, you don’t have to worry about money.
This journey has to come from the heart because you’ll be alone for the first year. You’ll have to understand your deep passions and motivations.
By the time you start building a following, it will barely matter to you. You would have already separated yourself from the results. Whether something performs well or not, you know you did your duty and released content. It is a truly extraordinary life. I can’t ask for more.
