Copying others won’t do

Most creators don’t fail because their work is bad. They fail because no one remembers it.

Scroll through any platform today and the pattern is obvious: another carousel with the same trending headline. Another repackaged course on sales, productivity, or investing. Another digital freebie that no one truly asked for. Everyone’s launching something, but most of it is unforgettable. You’ve seen them. So has everyone else.

But here’s the truth: "me too" won’t do.

If your product feels like a copy of what’s already out there, your audience won’t click. They won’t remember. They definitely won’t buy. Because in a market where attention is scarce, being better isn’t enough. You have to be different.

Don’t be gimmicky. Be relevant

Standing out doesn’t mean being loud or clickbait-y. It’s not about outrageous thumbnails or shouting the same tips in all caps.

It’s about being unexpected in a relevant way. The kind of surprise that makes someone stop scrolling. Not because it’s weird, but because it’s true. Because it feels different and useful. That kind of originality can’t be faked, it can’t be templated, it can't be replicated.

Three S to stand out

So what does real differentiation look like?

First, your story. The things you’ve lived through, figured out, failed at, and turned into insights. That’s the content no one else can steal. The messy, personal, unscalable stuff. It’s magnetic because it’s real.

Then there’s your style. That doesn’t mean logos and hex codes. It means your tone, your rhythm, your quirks, your own format. Whether you’re funny, blunt, or nerdy, lean into it. People don’t remember content. They remember voices. Risk it. Change stuff. Keeps what works, and discard what doesn't. Above all: be yourself.

Finally, your structure. This is the secret weapon. Everyone’s selling the same thing, but how you package the value changes everything. You might be teaching something familiar, but how you deliver it makes all the difference. A checklist turned into a guide. A course recorded with your face, and not just your voice. A boring niche reframed with a new name and a fresh angle. The best creators don’t just create, they package better. They don't reinvent the wheel, but they shape it in a way people want to use.
