Example Output:  
Title: Why “More Content = More Sales” Is Dead in Course Creation  
Hook & Introduction: Everyone says it: post more, and sales will follow. But for solopreneurs, churning out endless content feels like shouting into a void. In 2025, volume doesn’t win—clarity does.  
The Problem: The “more content” mantra worked when platforms rewarded frequency, but today’s oversaturated feeds punish noise. Solopreneurs burn out, and audiences tune out.

New Perspective: Focused storytelling, not volume, builds trust. Craft micro-content around one clear transformation.  
Examples in Action: A coach cut posts by 70%, shared transformation-focused stories, and tripled conversions in 60 days.  
Conclusion: Stop the content race. Focus on what matters to your audience, and watch trust turn into sales.
