Challenging opportunity to seize 

I’ve been a blogger for nearly 7 years (time of writing).  I’ve experienced introversion myself. As an ambivert, I do value spending enough time in solitude.

Before I decided to start blogging, I asked myself questions.  Would it be for me?  How long will it last?  When considering, I found that anyone can blog, vlog, and be a podcaster, if they’re passionate enough.  Productive blogging is crucial for long-term growth and eventually, success.

The list can apply to all personality types.  However, the way you approach it matters to introverts.  Adapt it relevantly to bring out the best in you.

Blog articles:

• Lists
• How to
• Why
• Success stories
• Evergreen
• Seasonal

Lists do well for blog articles, anyway.  Use a number in your headline.  It tells your potential readers what to expect if they read your post.  

How to and why articles also tell your potential readers what they can expect.  These generally work well, as readers see what’s in it for them in advance.  You’re not likely to waste their time.

Success stories inspire readers.  They’re also reality and facts, building trust.  If you don’t want all the attention, put the focus on a case study.  Being totally in the limelight isn’t always essential.

For articles, evergreen is often great.  If your post ranks, it can drive traffic for years.  As for seasonal content, it’s likely to perform organically during certain times of the year.  Have a blend of both, if possible.

Vlog videos:

• Faceless
• Text-based
• Screencast
• Voice-overs

Faceless content creation is often on Instagram.  I’ve done a few such reels myself.  However, on my account, you can see me.  I’ve seen accounts that are totally faceless, that work well.

Text-only videos aren’t very popular.  Showing up is best.  However, they can be created.  For text, carousels and single images are mostly used.   

Life can and will sometimes get in the way.  You have emergencies or other priorities that take over.  You may also lose motivation.  Read about staying consistent with content creation in my other post.

Podcast episodes:

• Speaking
• Guest invitations
• Interviews

Speaking on podcasts can be easier for this personality type.  You don’t have to show your face.  On the other hand, speaking on camera is more challenging.  Podcasts also have less competition than blogging and vlogging.

I mostly write blog articles.  Making reels is also enjoyable.  I’ve never started a podcast till now.  However, I’ve done voice-over videos before.

When podcasting, you don’t have to do all the talking.  You can sometimes invite guests who are experts on a topic.  The focus is then on their experiences.

Interview someone on something they excel at.  For example, you have a podcast specialized in social media marketing for Facebook but need someone who does X (formerly Twitter).  Bring value to your listeners by inviting an expert.

Content creation ideas for Instagram:

• Reels
• Carousels
• Single image
• Lives

Lives are the most challenging.  Anyone could feel that way.  However, introverts tend to avoid it the most.  Having a guest and collaborating with other creators can help.

Topic examples for introverts

While the niche that you choose will determine your content, some topics are handy.  The list can suit many niches if not all.  However, do write from a relevant angle for your audience.

Some topics come naturally, as they suit this personality type.  Being genuinely yourself pays off.  On the other hand, faking it (especially on camera) shows.

Some examples:

• Solitude
• Set boundaries 
• Meditation
• Productivity
• Relationship for introverts
• Solo travel

You might feel at ease writing about solitude, setting boundaries, meditation, productivity, relationship tips for other introverts, solo travel, and more.  These are likely to come naturally.  Read my introverted strengths-related post for more.

Do consider your audience’s needs.  Does it serve their purpose?  If it doesn’t, then better not to focus too much on such topics.

Even when such topics don’t directly suit your niche, they could be relevant in other ways.  For example, showing a glimpse of your personality could be part of your personal branding.  It shows your genuineness and originality.  In that sense, mentioning solitude could be relevant.  Read about the content creation process in my other post.

How I approach it

I share a lot about productivity, as it’s the center of my self-improvement blog.  I also share about working smart.  Solopreneurs need such tips while in their home office.

While I share productivity tips and ideas, I give examples of how I live by them.  This also aligns with my writing voice.  It’s my natural style.  On Instagram, reels illustrate the tips.

Solitude is both relevant to my blog niche and what I live by.  Working on your own in your home office, don’t you tend to spend time alone?  Working smarter tips support my readers, whatever their personality type.

Conclusion

The content creation ideas are for introverts.  They also support ambiverts, with a mixture of both personality types extremes.  If you’re passionate and keen on being a blogger, vlogger, or podcaster, going for it is an opportunity.
