Ever felt stuck staring at that blank LinkedIn post creator, wondering what the hell to write about? Been there, done that. After years of helping companies innovate and grow (and making plenty of content mistakes myself), I've discovered a game-changing approach to creating authentic content that actually resonates with your audience.
Why Traditional Content Creation Sucks
Let's be real - sitting down to "brainstorm content ideas" is about as fun as watching paint dry. You end up either: - Recycling the same old boring advice everyone else is sharing - Getting lost in perfectionism hell - Procrastinating until you give up entirely
The Interview Method: Your Secret Weapon
Here's the thing: humans have been telling stories since we figured out how to grunt at each other around a campfire. It's literally in our DNA. So why not use that natural storytelling ability to create killer content?
How It Works

Personal experiences that make it authentic
Transform It Into LinkedIn Gold
Once you've got your raw material, shape it into content that: - Matches your audience's needs - Uses language they understand - Feels authentic to your voice
The Secret Sauce to Making This Work
Speaking of authenticity (and here's a little behind-the-scenes), I'm Philipp, the founder of Reruption and co-host of the #buildinpublic podcast. When I'm not helping enterprise companies build kick-ass new business models or recording podcast episodes about growth hacks, I'm probably mountain biking somewhere between Mallorca and Stuttgart.
And let me tell you - this interview method? It's fucking brilliant for busy entrepreneurs who can't spend hours crafting perfect posts.
Time-Saving Pro Tip
Here's something I discovered while building PostFlow (shameless plug alert 🚨): the biggest time-suck isn't just coming up with ideas - it's the whole damn process of getting from idea to published post.
That's why I'm obsessed with tools that automate the boring stuff. You want to focus on sharing your expertise, not wrestling with content calendars and posting schedules.
Making It Work for You
Start small: 1. Record yourself talking about your expertise for 5 minutes 2. Pick out ONE valuable insight 3. Turn it into a LinkedIn post 4. Rinse and repeat
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Don't try to sound "professional" - sound like yourself
Avoid creating generic content just to post something
Don't overthink it (seriously, done is better than perfect)
The Bottom Line
Creating authentic content doesn't have to be a pain in the ass. Use interviews to tap into your natural storytelling abilities, focus on sharing genuine insights, and let technology handle the rest.
Ready to give it a shot? Your first 30 pieces of content are waiting to be discovered in your brain - you just need the right process to get them out.
P.S. If you're thinking "this sounds great but I barely have time to breathe," check out PostFlow. It'll help you turn those interview nuggets into scheduled content faster than you can say "LinkedIn influencer." Just sayin'.
Remember: The best content comes from real conversations and experiences. Stop overthinking and start talking - your audience is waiting to hear what you have to say.
