Send your name and email and the guide arrives straight away.

No list to join and no drip sequence to opt out of. You get the PDF immediately, plus one email from me you can reply to if you want a second opinion on what you write down.

Your details are only ever used to send you the guide. Usually the same day.

The actual problem

You probably don’t have a content shortage. You have a decision shortage.

Too many channels, too many possible topics, and no clear line between publishing and a commercial result. The cure is not more output. It is a shorter list of deliberate choices, made once and revisited monthly.

Three symptoms
01

You can list what you published last month, but not what any of it was for.

02

Topics get chosen in the same week they are needed.

03

Nobody owns the question “did this bring anyone closer to buying?”

The three tools inside

Frameworks you can still use in a year’s time.

Most free guides give you principles you already agree with. These are the three instruments the document is actually built around — scoring, structure, and a single sheet that holds the decisions.

PACE
Score any idea out of eight

Problem, Authority, Conversion, Efficiency. Stop committing a day’s work to topics that were never going to earn it — and stop letting search volume rescue a weak idea.

TRUST
Five moves, in order

Tension, Result, Useful answer, Specific proof, Transition. Most weak content has all the information and none of the structure. This is the structure.

One page
The sheet at the back

Every section ends in a decision you write down, and the decisions accumulate here: audience, offer, promise, themes, cadence, call to action, measure.

What’s inside

Ten sections. Each one ends in a decision.

Written for owners and small teams who want clarity and consistency — not another list of generic tips. Roughly forty minutes to read; the worksheets are the part that takes real thought.

01Stop feeding the content machine
02Start with people, not platforms
03Give every piece a job
04Choose ideas worth making
05Make the answer worth keeping
06Let AI assist — not impersonate
07One idea, several useful encounters
08Earn the email address
09Measure movement, not applause
10Your first 30 days
Look inside first

Three pages from the guide, unretouched.

No blurred mock-ups. This is what arrives — A4 landscape, gold rules marking every line you fill in, and page 21 waiting to become your strategy.

Page 10 — the five moves that separate a useful answer from a summary.
The one-page content strategy sheet from page 21 of the guide
Page 21 — the master sheet. Fill it in, keep it visible, review it monthly.
Worth your forty minutes if

You publish reasonably often, and enquiries never mention any of it.

You are the owner, and content is one of nine things you do.

You want a system you can hold in your worst month, not your best one.

You would rather write four things that work than forty that don’t.

Probably not for you if

You want a posting calendar to fill rather than a reason to post.

You are looking for growth hacks or platform tricks.

You have a content team, a strategist and a working measurement loop already.

If that last one is you, the strategy call will be a better use of your time than the guide.
