Create Content that Speaks to Ideal Clients Needs
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs categorizes human needs into five levels…
From the basic (eg. safety) to the advanced (eg. love, self-esteem). Understand your audience’s hierarchy of needs and your content will always resonate. The 5-4-3-2-1 method generates 15 content ideas that tap into all 5 levels of needs. It prioritizes content ideas for the lower, more basic levels…
Before gradually focusing on more specialized content as you move up the hierarchy.
How It Works.......
I’ve used examples from different niches to show how you can generate content ideas at every level in any niche.
1. Physiological Needs (5 Content Ideas): Address basic needs like health, wellness, and survival.
  • Tech: How wearable tech monitors health and well-being.
  • Fashion: Practical clothing for difficult weather.
2. Safety Needs (4 Content Ideas): Provide security and protection.
  • Pet Care: Keeping pets safe during natural disasters.
  • Travel: Safe destinations for solo travelers.
3. Love and Belonging (3 Content Ideas): Foster relationships and community.
  • Home Decor: Designing spaces for family bonding.
  • Crafts: Handmade gifts that strengthen personal connections.
4. Esteem (2 Content Ideas): Boost confidence and self-respect.
  • Public Speaking: Overcoming fear of speaking.
  • Gardening: Encourage pride in growing your own food. 
5. Self-Actualization (1 Content Idea): Promote personal growth and fulfillment.
  • Fitness: Training for a marathon as a personal achievement.
Try the 5-4-3-2-1 method in your own niche and see what high-engagement content ideas you come up with.
