7 Essential Content Systems for Building Your Personal Brand
Literally steal my best systems

In today's letter, I'm going to expose the truth about personal branding that most "experts" don't talk about: successful personal brands don't create content. They run successful content systems.
After helping over 300 business owners implement these systems, I've identified the exact framework that transforms your personal brand into a client acquisition and authority machine without requiring hours of daily manual posting.
The Truth About Personal Branding
Most people think building a personal brand means spending hours every single day posting on X and LinkedIn. But the most successful operators don't manually create content on the fly, they've installed scalable content systems that handle everything from ideation to optimization.
Without these systems, you're stuck:
Posting content manually
Brainstorming topics on the fly
Reacting to trends without a plan
This is a recipe for burnout and inconsistency.
The 7 Essential Content Systems
Today I'll break down the seven essential content systems you need to build a high-trust brand with quality followers, all while spending just 45 minutes daily (or 45 minutes weekly if you have someone helping you).
Content System #1: Topic Generation

The problem: People run out of ideas or post random content without strategic direction.
The solution: An idea generation system that pulls content topics from multiple sources:
Past Experiences: Your case studies, lessons, frameworks, and expertise
Industry Trends: Analyzing top posts from thought leaders in your space
FAQs: Identifying and answering questions your perfect prospect has
Competitor Analysis: Studying 5-10 competitors for structure and content ideas
For each topic, create:
Topic name
Description (in question format)
Goal of the post
Example: If Elon Musk tweets about delegation, create a topic on "Importance of Delegation" with questions like "Why is delegation important? What are you currently delegating? What did you learn from past failures around delegation?" with the goal being an opinionated post.
Content System #2: Hypothesis Testing

The problem: Posting blindly without knowing what works.
The solution: Systematic testing of content hypotheses:
Create theories like "Stories will drive more engagement than business takes"
Test each content style for 5-7 days
Measure based on engagement and conversion
Iterate based on results
The key is eliminating guesswork through methodical testing and tracking.
Content System #3: Data Analysis & Optimization

The problem: Not knowing why certain content performs better than others.
The solution: A content analytics system that identifies:
Are you optimizing for engagement rates, follower growth, or conversions?
Which posts are performing best/worst?
What patterns emerge from your top performers?
This is a weekly optimization process that builds on your hypothesis testing.
Content System #4: Content Structure

The problem: Even great ideas fail if not structured correctly.
The solution: Identify the right content structure for each topic:
Short tweets
Long tweets
Threads
Infographics
Opinion posts
Authoritative posts
Story posts
Technical posts
Each topic needs the right structure to maximize impact. (I recently recorded a video with my top 8 performing content structures—check the link
Content System #5: Trending Topics

The problem: Posting only evergreen content misses opportunities to demonstrate relevance.
The solution: A system for incorporating trending topics:
Find industry leaders and track their best-performing content
Identify why it's performing well
Innovate on it or use as inspiration
Stay adaptable as the content landscape changes
People follow you because you're up-to-date with industry developments.
Content System #6: Visual Content Design

The problem: Text-only content gets boring.
The solution: A system for creating branded visual content:
Simplify ideas into beautiful images using Canva or Figma
Create templated designs for consistent branding
Use infographics and carousels to break up text-heavy feeds
Visual content consistently outperforms text-only posts when done right.
Content System #7: Scheduling & Automation
The problem: Day-to-day content creation is overwhelming.
The solution: Batch your content creation process:
Day 1: Generate topics
Day 2: Answer questions related to topics
Day 3: Write content in different styles
Day 4: Schedule for the next seven days
In just 45 minutes a day for four days, your entire week of content is ready to go.
