Creating Your First Idea

You can create a new idea from multiple places:

• Click “Add New Idea” on your dashboard
• Navigate to Ideas → New Idea
• Use the “New Idea” button in the calendar view

All paths lead to the same comprehensive creation form.

Title

Make it descriptive and specific. For example:

• ✅ “10 Productivity Tips for Remote Workers”
• ❌ “Productivity Tips”

Category

Choose from pre-made categories:

• Blog Post
• Social Media
• Video
• Podcast
• Newsletter
• Article
• Other

Description

Add as much detail as you want:

• Research notes and sources
• Key points to cover
• Target audience
• Inspiration sources
• Rough outlines

This is your space to capture everything about the idea.

Tags are incredibly powerful for organizing and finding content later. Add tags like:

• productivity
• remote-work
• listicle
• beginner-friendly

Pro Tips for Tags:

• Use consistent naming (e.g., always remote-work, not sometimes remote work)
• Think about how you’ll search later
• Consider your content themes and series
• The more descriptive your tags, the easier it’ll be to organize your content library

If you’re working with a team, you can assign ideas to team ownership. This allows:

• Team members to edit the idea
• Collaborative progress tracking
• Shared visibility across your team

Note: Only you (as the creator) can change ownership later, but team members can collaborate on assigned ideas.

Once saved, your idea is automatically set to “active” and ready for progress tracking. From here, you can:

• Edit details anytime (unless archived)
• Schedule it on the calendar with specific statuses
• Link draft and published versions as you create them
• Connect it to related ideas for content series
• Add comments to track progress and collaborate with others

Your idea is now part of your content pipeline and ready to move through your workflow!
