LazyLines offers 10 unique ways to generate content ideas.

Here they are:

Let's get into it.


1: Auto Ideation

Best for: Generating a wide variety of content ideas related to a specific topic or website.

What it is:
Auto Ideation is a powerful tool that generates a diverse range of viral content ideas by analyzing popular content from platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. It also dives deep into your audience's psychology, examining their frustrations, desires, and fears, and delivers over 50+ customized content ideas that resonate with your target audience.

Why use it:
By leveraging content that is already viral, you increase your chances of creating high-performing posts. When this content is also tailored to the specific needs and interests of your audience, it becomes even more effective and engaging, helping you connect with them on a deeper level.

The process:

  1. Go to the "Auto Ideation" section.

  2. Choose whether you want to generate ideas based on a specific topic or website.

  3. Enter your topic or the URL of your website.

  4. Click "Let's Go" to get started.

Pro Tip:

  • With just one click on the pen icon next to each idea, you can instantly turn these ideas into ready-to-use scripts and captions, streamlining your content creation process.

  • If you're providing a topic, aim for something broad enough to offer variety but not too general. For example, "affiliate marketing" or "Instagram growth" works well. Avoid overly niche or excessively broad topics for optimal results.


2: Viral Library

Best for: Finding inspiration and recreating viral videos in your own style, tone, and voice.

What it is: Viral Library is a curated collection of over 118,000 TikToks and Reels, each with more than 15,000 views, meaning these videos performed well. LazyLines tailors the selection to your brand preferences, but you can also search for specific topics and niches. When you find a video you like, you can click "Recreate" to adapt it to your style, or click "Insights" to view performance data.

Why use it: All videos in the Viral Library have proven success, meaning their core concepts or delivery methods worked. With LazyLines, you can repurpose these ideas, modify the script, and make it your own, boosting your chances of creating a viral hit.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Research" page.

  2. Select the "Library" tab.

  3. Browse through the videos.

  4. When you find one you like, click on "Insights" or "Recreate."

Pro Tip: Use the search bar to find videos on specific topics or niches relevant to your brand.


3: Tweet Library

Best for: Turning high-performing X (formerly Twitter) posts into short-form video content.

What it is: The Tweet Library features over 15,000 popular X posts that can be transformed into videos. Like the Viral Library, you can take the core idea of any post and recreate it in your unique style with a click.

Why use it: X posts often contain creative, engaging content. By turning these ideas into videos, you can tap into their potential for high engagement.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Research" page.

  2. Select the "X Posts" tab.

  3. Browse through the posts.

  4. When you find one you like, click "Write Script."

Pro Tip: Select longer posts to give LazyLines more material to work with, resulting in a stronger script.


4: News

Best for: Staying updated on trends and creating timely content around them.

What it is: The News Library allows you to input any topic, and LazyLines will regularly curate the most relevant and viral news articles for you. You can then turn any article into a ready-made script with a single click.

Why use it: Creating videos based on trending topics—known as "trend jacking"—helps you leverage current buzz and increase your chances of going viral.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Research" page.

  2. Select the "News" tab.

  3. Browse through the articles.

  4. When you find one you like, click "Write Script."

Pro Tip: Use broad topics like "AI" or "Content Marketing" to get a variety of news articles each week. Avoid topics centered around interviews or dialogues, as they may not translate well into scripts.


5: Reddit

Best for: Discovering unique content ideas from Reddit posts and comments.

What it is: LazyLines lets you search subreddits and pulls the most viral posts based on your query. From each post, you can extract up to five unique content ideas, drawing from both the post and its comments.

Why use it: Reddit often surfaces ideas faster than other platforms, and high upvotes indicate strong audience interest. From just one subreddit, you can generate 10 to 50 viral posts, each offering 5 potential content ideas, giving you 50-250 new ideas in total.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Research" page.

  2. Select the "Reddit" tab.

  3. Add a subreddit by clicking the "+" icon.

  4. Browse posts and click "Get Ideas" when you find one that resonates.

Pro Tip: Focus on subreddits with large memberships—more members mean more viral content to extract ideas from.


6: Daily Ideas

Best for: Consistently generating new content ideas without effort.

What it is: Daily Ideas is a feature that delivers 7 content ideas tailored to your brand every day. It pulls from viral content across platforms like Viral Library, X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and takes into account your brand preferences.

Why use it: With 80% of the ideas based on high-performing content, your chances of going viral are increased. The remaining 20% is customized to align with your brand, audience, and content pillars.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Ideas" section and select "Daily Ideas."

  2. Connect your social accounts to track performance.

  3. Enjoy daily content ideas tailored to your needs.

Pro Tip: For the best results, set up your brand preferences and connect your most active social account (TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram).


7: Idea Genie

Best for: Researching what topics are performing well in your niche.

What it is: Idea Genie identifies popular topics for any keyword or niche, showing you the TikToks and Shorts with the highest views related to those topics.

Why use it: To create high-performing content, you need to base your ideas on topics that are already attracting interest. Idea Genie ensures you're working with topics that have strong search volume.

Process:

  1. Go to "Ideas" -> "Brainstorm" -> "Idea Genie"

  2. Enter a keyword, niche, or broad topic (e.g., real estate, content marketing, investing).

  3. Review the suggested topics.

  4. Explore TikToks and Shorts for each topic.

  5. Select topics or videos that resonate, then click "Brainstorm Ideas."

Pro Tip: Turn on internet access while brainstorming for the latest data and trends.


8: Repurpose Content

Best for: Extracting new content ideas from existing content pieces.

What it is: Repurpose Content allows you to pull five content ideas from various content types, including articles, YouTube videos (short and long), TikToks, Reels, Tweets, and Threads.

Why use it: Viral content often leaves clues about what works. By distilling key ideas from successful content, you increase the likelihood that your content will also perform well.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Ideas" -> "Brainstorm" tab and select "Repurpose Content."

  2. Enter a link to the content.

  3. Click "Brainstorm Ideas."

Pro Tip: Focus on viral content, and use longer videos (8-60 minutes) for richer insights.


9: Profile Analyst

Best for: Analyzing Instagram accounts to find what works and what doesn’t, and generating content ideas based on top-performing posts.

What it is: Profile Analyst analyzes any Instagram account with Reels, providing insights into the best and worst-performing posts. It compares key characteristics of both types to help you replicate success.

Why use it: By learning from the successes and failures of bigger creators, you can fast-track your way to viral content by replicating what works and avoiding what doesn’t.

Process:

  1. Go to the "Analyze" section.

  2. Enter an Instagram username.

  3. Let LazyLines do the analysis.

Pro Tip: Focus on analyzing accounts that post a lot of Reels and are active.


IMPORTANT:

  • When using a video as a content source, ensure the video includes a transcription. LazyLines cannot process content without text.

  • Not all ideas are of equal quality. That’s why LazyLines assigns a performance score to each idea—this score is quite accurate in predicting potential success.

  • Always save an idea you like! Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
