How to Create Content FAST Without AI

Here’s a secret:

You can create content instantly (even without the help of AI).

The best part is—it can also save you time and energy.

How?

You’re going to curate content.

It's not about reinventing the wheel, but finding the best wheels out there.

Curation doesn’t automatically mean you’ll copy them.

You’ll just draw inspiration from the best ideas out there.

Curation lets you share valuable insights without starting from scratch while adding your unique perspective.

As Austin Kleon puts it:

"Your job is to collect good ideas. The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by."

Think of yourself as a trusted guide.

You’re revealing the hidden gems to your audience.

It's like being a DJ for information, mixing the best tracks for your listeners.

Cool, isn’t it?

And in this newsletter, you’ll learn some of the simple ways to master the art of curation.

Finding Good Sources

To find good health and wellness content, you can start with:

  • Trusted medical websites like Mayo Clinic or WebMD. 

  • Check out health news on BBC Health or Medical News Today. 

  • Doctors, dietitians, and certified trainers on social media.

  • Research-backed by medical associations or universities. 

Just make sure that the sources are recent and reliable.

Because reliable health sources make your curated wellness content more valuable and trustworthy.

Organising Your Findings

Once you've found good content, you need to keep it organised. 

Use folders on your computer or online tools like Evernote or Pocket to save things you like. 

Then group similar topics together. 

You can also use tags or labels to make them easier to find later. 

The key here is to have a simple system so you don't lose track of great content.

Adding Your Own Spin

Don't just copy what others say. 

  • Add your own thoughts to make the content special. 

  • You can disagree with parts of what you're sharing, too. 

  • Tell stories from your own life that relate to the topic. 

Your job is to not just pass along info—you're helping people understand it better.

Putting It All Together

Now, it's time to combine everything into a piece of content. 

  • Start with an interesting fact or question to grab attention. 

  • Put your curated info in an order that makes sense, like going from basic to advanced ideas. 

  • Add your own thoughts between the curated bits to keep your voice present. 

Make sure everything flows well from one point to the next. 

And don’t forget to format your piece properly—use subheadings and bullet points.

Sharing Your Curated Content

Choose the best place to share your curated content. 

This could be a blog, social media, or newsletter. 

Pick a channel where your audience is usually at.

When you share:

Include a short text that tells people what they'll learn in your post.

Connect with the People You Share From

Shout out to creators on social media. 

Give the creators you've quoted a shoutout on social media! 

It shows your appreciation and helps build a connection with them—especially if they didn’t know they were included. 

Tagging them not only shares the love but also opens up opportunities for future collaborations and networking. 

Plus, it’s a great way to build a community of mutual support.

When you use other people's content, you need to play fair. 

This means naming them and ALWAYS including a backlink to the original source. 

Don't copy whole articles—use short quotes instead. 

It's usually okay to share ideas, but use your own words to explain them. 

Some content might have rules about how you can use it.

So check for that. 

If you're not sure if you can use something, it's best to ask permission first.

This not only avoids copyright issues but also builds trust and goodwill with the original creators.
