Lesson Notes

Shareable content is content that people enjoy enough to pass along to other people. People share content as an expression of themselves!
Shareable content strikes a balance between relatability and originality. The key to relatability is identity, and the key to originality is having an opinion/point of view.
Voice is what will set you apart from everyone else. Your identity is what you are, and your voice is how you communicate.
Your goal—whether you're writing, tweeting, or filming—is to get people to say "that's something I've always noticed but never found the words for!" Go after that reaction.
Your content will only get better through the struggle of making it. Write, film, create, and post. Learn and grow from each piece you do, and it will get better over time!
