I don’t follow trends. I follow alignment. But… I do pay attention to what’s easy to execute when it actually supports your message. Because in The Content Shift, we’re not here to chase the algorithm. We’re here to make content work for your business. And one thing that keeps showing up again and again? Your story is not “extra.” It’s positioning. Not your highlight reel. Not your polished bio. Your actual perspective. This week alone, I’ve watched creators grow their reach, get conversations going, and attract aligned opportunities simply because they stopped hiding behind tips and started sharing context. Not louder. Just more them. So if you want a few easy formats to play with (without trend-chasing energy), here are three that are circulating right now that can be repurposed in a very Content Shift way: 1️⃣ Split Screen Not for aesthetics. For contrast. Think: Old mindset vs current strategy What people think I do vs what actually drives results Busy content vs intentional content That’s storytelling with strategy. 2️⃣ Childhood Photos This one isn’t about being cute. It’s about narrative. Where you started → what you care about now → why your work matters. That builds connection faster than any “5 tips” post ever will. 3️⃣ Spin the Bottle / Random Selector Style Instead of fluff, use it to show: Your real workflow Your content decision process Your weekly priorities (aka behind-the-scenes leadership, not just tasks) Here’s the shift though: You don’t use trends to be relevant. You use formats to deliver a message that already matters. Trends are optional. Clarity is not. If a format makes it easier to share your story, your thinking, or your positioning? Use it. If it distracts from your business goals? Skip it without guilt.
