Description

The "Define the Ideal Storyline" functionality within the Contesimal platform guides users—especially content creators, strategists, and publishers—through generating an optimized podcast or content storyline. It is specifically tailored for content themed around business, technology, and other complex topics, helping structure ideas that engage, educate, and emotionally resonate with the target audience.

This tool supports Contesimal’s broader mission to organize, contextualize, and monetize content by giving users a strategic framework to structure high-impact storylines based on proven narrative elements. It ensures the content is not only relevant and informative but also memorable and action-oriented.

Step-by-Step Golden Path to Use the Feature

Step 1: Begin a New Session

Navigate to the Contesimal dashboard and click on “Complete Task”.
Choose the “I want to Create Content” option when prompted for your objective.

Step 2: Select Task Type

You will see a screen that asks: “What are you trying to accomplish from this task?”
Select “Create Content” to proceed with content strategy tools.

Step 3: Choose the “Define the Ideal Storyline” Tool

From the next screen with content creation tools, click “Define The Ideal Storyline”.
This tool generates a strategic framework based on your content’s niche, audience, and episode themes.

Step 4: Review the Storyline Blueprint

The tool auto-generates a section titled “THE IDEAL STORYLINE”, which outlines:
- The purpose of the storyline.
- How themes and target audiences are aligned.
A bulleted list appears under "Criteria for Creating a Successful Storyline", outlining the essential components of a good narrative:
- Relatability
- Educational Value
- Engaging Narratives

Each of these criteria serves as a guideline for users to assess or build their own stories in alignment with content performance goals.

Step 5: Implement or Adjust

Users can:
- Use the snip tool (scissors icon) to save this as a Snippet in their session.
- Add the text as a List Item via the Document icon for future reference.
- Add personal Notations to customize or contextualize the framework.
- Use the Binoculars icon if the content was based on a search query.

Step 6: Expand with Storyline Ideas

Users are shown a "Storyline Ideas" section with sample topics like:
- Navigating the Future of Work
- Entrepreneurship in the Digital Age
- Cybersecurity in Business
- FinTech Innovations
- Leadership Lessons from AI

These examples demonstrate how to apply the criteria to real, engaging, and modern podcast episodes or content themes.
