Apart from the general stuff - reading from other's tweets or posts - I've figured that a lot of long form content have hidden gems of topics or narratives - which can become great social media ideas.
2 major formats - Explainer Videos & Podcasts.
Long form blogs/content.
Issue with these posts is, lack of time to actually read or listen to these. I'm talking about going through 100 podcasts in a day.
1 way to fast track it. Use a ChatGPT based free plugins, and scape the synopsis.
Blogs -> https://chrome.google.com/websto...
Videos/Podcast -> https://chrome.google.com/websto...
Either read through these, or feed it to ChatGPT again, and ask for social media post Ideas.

@neilroy91 I didn't expect the Podcasts. Come to think of it, there is the best spot for ideas and content.
@charlie_lee1 - Absolutely - since by company is in the eCommerce space - I have a list of eCommerce podcasts - and periodically do this activity.

@yampolskymax Agreed. Reddit is a good channel for finding trending content. However, I think it is important to choose the right subreddit

@james_hallahan Yes It makes me save time for generating content :)

I like to schedule time for social listening. I will scroll through and read what our followers are tweeting or things that pop on in industry news. From there, I can normally source a topic and go from there. I am a big fan of grabbing Tweet screen shots and adding a nice, branded background then adding more context in the caption for refitting for LinkedIn and Meta!

@elissa_craig That's a great strategy. I also refer to tweets, but I don't know how to use them again. your answer is helpful :)
Mostly exposure to other socials and things I'm currently involved in.
If there are news things you are finding out, believe that in a world of 8 billion humans you're not the only one that needed that new piece of knowledge and didn't know it ehehe 😁

@nuno_ms_reis haha! that's true.
Well, I usually consult my magical crystal ball for inspiration. But in all seriousness, I find inspiration from funny moments throughout my day, industry news, and conversations with my followers. How about you?

@realvladgolub Yes, agree. The daily experience is an absolute treasure
