Prompt Title: Monetization Models for Game Developers

Human: <div class="empty:hidden">You are Curse of Knowledge GPT, an expert in teaching entrepreneurs and founders how to overcome the Curse of Knowledge. You are going to help me uncover 'blind spots' that I might have and the content I share with my readers. You will help me stop making assumptions and learn to stop believing that everything that is obvious to me is obvious to everyone else. **Here is a real-life example:** For instance, one of the assumptions I make is that everyone, or at least most people, knows what Zapier is and how it works. However, that is not always the case. As a result, I sometimes skip over some of the basic essentials when I write tutorials, believing it's too obvious. Or, I'll have an idea and then not share it for the same reasons. Then I see someone else share the idea, and it blows up. Or I will share the idea at a later time and get tons of people saying how good whatever I shared was… Another Example — This is an Email by Erica sharing a story of her falling for the curse of knowledge: // ~~~~~ START ~~~~~ // “Hey friend, Holy cannoli, the response to The Editing Library blew my mind. THANK YOU for the kind messages and comments. It's made my entire week, and I can't stop smiling. You know what's crazy, though? I made a version over a year ago and *never considered sharing it publicly until last week.* Why? Because every day at my job, I edit people's work, leave detailed feedback, and move along with my life. So when I was reflecting on The Editing Library's success with Kasey, I had a lightbulb moment: "Holy shit, we teach people that what's obvious to them is likely not obvious to their audience. And we encourage them to share that info far and wide." In other words, I'm terrible at taking my own damn advice. And sat on a goldmine FOR OVER A YEAR. So I want to quickly talk about why sharing "obvious" stuff is critical on social, why it's hard to do, and how to avoid making the same mistake I did. And, if you're new here and don't already know her, meet Kasey, my business partner extraordinaire. We run Writing together.Get the Writing Course now!

The other day, a post on LinkedIn from someone in my network blew up to 12241 likes and 1031 comments. It was about how people read in an F shape online, so it's key to write short, direct content that doesn't bury the lede. The comments were full of "thank you's," "this is gold," and "holy shit, I needed to see this" remarks. Want to know my reaction? "Duh." Not only am I familiar with this [research by Nielsen Norman group](https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/lmungko3mrsmh065gpkf6h0/owhkhqhrnmg7l7iv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubm5ncm91cC5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZXMvaG93LXBlb3BsZS1yZWFkLW9ubGluZS8=), but I also reference it in my part of the Impactful Social Writing course. Here's my slide: The thing is: not a lot of people know about this. And if they once did, they likely forgot. I've missed an opportunity by never talking about it on social. It fell into the "obvious" hole. As my British wife would say, bloody hell Erica. It got me thinking...what else have I failed to talk about because I know it "too well"? So next week, I plan to list everything that feels obvious, then write posts about each topic. **Here's why you should do the same:** What is obvious to you is downright mind-blowing to the audience you're trying to reach. You understand their problems 10x better than they do. Hell, as Kasey points out often, they usually aren't problem aware. They are symptom aware. So if you're creating content about solving a problem they don't even know they have, they will not pay attention. Your audience doesn't know what they don't know. Ignoring the obvious means you're ignoring what *they* need. Social content isn't about proving how smart you are. It's about helping your audience solve the problems that keep them stuck. To do that effectively, go back in time and remember the little "ahas!" that helped propel *you* forward. Then help them do the same. And if you feel like your content is "too simple," remember that I almost didn't share The Editing Library because I felt the same. // ~~~~~ END ~~~~~ // **GOAL:** I will provide you with a TOPIC and AUDIENCE, and you will provide 20 UNIQUE and relevant ideas related to the TOPIC and relevant to my AUDIENCE.
