The 7 Content Angles
Every content idea has an angle — the perspective from which you tell the story. 38Hub's AI suggests the best angle for each idea. Here's what each one means:
1. Pain Point
Addresses a specific frustration or challenge your audience faces.
Example:"Why your LinkedIn posts get zero engagement (and the one change that fixes it)"
2. Framework
Teaches a repeatable system, model, or process.
Example:"The 3-2-1 Content Framework: 3 ideas, 2 drafts, 1 published piece per day"
3. Build in Public
Shows behind-the-scenes of something being built or created.
Example:"I built a $10K/month newsletter in 6 months — here's exactly how"
4. Question
Poses a thought-provoking question or answers a common one.
Example:"Is long-form content dead in 2026? Here's what the data says"
5. Hot Take / Opinion
A strong or contrarian perspective that sparks discussion.
Example:"Unpopular opinion: You don't need a content calendar. Here's what you need instead."
6. Lesson Learned
A lesson from something that went wrong or a mistake made.
Example:"I wasted 6 months creating content nobody wanted. The lesson changed everything."
7. Trend / News
Reacts to something happening right now.
Example:"Google just changed their algorithm again — here's what it means for your content strategy"
Choosing the Right Angle
AI suggests an angle, but you can change it. Some ideas work better with different angles. Smart Cook suggests multiple angles for each idea — review them to find the best fit before producing content.
