Let’s be honest: you’ve got the know-how. You’ve spent years honing your craft, serving clients, solving problems, and probably answering the same five questions over and over.

But when it comes to turning all that knowledge into content?
It can feel like a full-time job you didn’t ask for.

If you’ve ever said, “I know I should be posting more, but I don’t know where to start,” or “I don’t want to sound like everyone else,”—you’re not alone.

The good news? You don’t need to be a content machine. You just need a smart, repeatable way to turn what you already know into content that connects—and converts.

Let’s break it down.


Why Shareable Content Matters for Solopreneurs

Here’s the thing: content isn’t just for clicks—it’s for building trust.

According to Edelman’s Trust Barometer, 81% of people say they need to trust a brand to buy from them. For solopreneurs, you are the brand—so how you show up matters.

Shareable content helps your audience:

  • See your expertise in action
  • Understand how you solve real problems
  • Build trust with you before they even reach out

And no, you don’t need to go viral. You just need the right people nodding along and saying, “This is exactly what I needed.”


1. Start with What You Know (Not What You Think You Should Say)

Instead of chasing trends, start by mining your own expertise.

Ask yourself:

  • What do people always ask me?
  • What problems do I solve repeatedly?
  • What mistakes do I see people making in my industry?

These questions are goldmines for content that’s real, relevant, and rooted in your zone of genius.

👉 Try this: Make a list of your top 10 FAQs—and answer each one in a simple, conversational tone. Boom. That’s 10 content pieces.


2. Choose Your “Core Format” and Stick With It

One of the fastest ways to burn out? Trying to do everything—blogs, reels, newsletters, podcasts, oh my.

Instead, pick one format that feels natural for you:

  • Love writing? Start with blog posts or carousels.
  • More of a talker? Try short-form videos or voice notes.
  • Great with visuals? Infographics or tutorials might be your jam.

Once you’ve got your format, repurpose it. One blog post can become:

  • 3 Instagram posts
  • 1 email newsletter
  • 1 short video tip

Consistency matters more than quantity.


3. Don’t Just Share—Build Trust with Every Post

There’s a difference between talking about what you know and sharing it in a way that builds trust.

Here’s why this works:

  • Specific > vague — Share real examples or micro-insights.
  • Empathy > ego — Show you understand the struggle before you offer the solution.
  • Stories > stats — Data is great, but personal stories stick.

✅ Instead of: “I help clients scale their businesses.”
🎯 Try: “One of my clients went from posting randomly to booking three new leads a month—just by showing up consistently with one content format.”


4. Make It Easy for Your Audience to Engage

We’re all scrolling fast. If your content is too long, too dense, or too vague, people will scroll on by.

Keep it simple:

  • Use bullet points, headings, or bold highlights
  • End with a question to invite conversation
  • Add a call-to-action, even if it’s just “Was this helpful?”

Want people to share it? Make it useful and easy to relate to.

Pro tip: Content with infographics or visuals gets 3x more shares than text-only posts (NN Group).


5. DIY or Done-for-You: Know What’s Worth Your Time

Here’s the honest truth: you can do this yourself.
But creating content that actually converts takes time, strategy, and consistency.

So ask yourself:

  • Is writing and designing content something I enjoy (and have time for)?
  • Am I getting the kind of engagement I want?
  • Do I know how to turn this content into real business?

If the answer is “no” or “not sure,” it might be time to get support.
