Leveraging TEDx Videos for Thought Leadership Content on LinkedIn

As a thought leader on LinkedIn, creating high-quality content that resonates with your audience is crucial. However, coming up with fresh and innovative ideas can be a challenge. One strategy to overcome this is to leverage existing TEDx videos on YouTube to find topics for your thought leadership content. Here are 5 points to help you develop this strategy:

  1. Identify Relevant TEDx Talks

Start by searching for TEDx talks related to your industry or niche. Use keywords, hashtags, and filters to narrow down your search. Look for talks that align with your interests, expertise, and target audience. Take note of the talk titles, descriptions, and speakers to help you identify potential topics.

  1. Analyze Talk Themes and Trends

Analyze the themes and trends emerging from the TEDx talks you’ve identified. Look for common threads, patterns, and areas of overlap. Identify the key questions, challenges, and opportunities being addressed in these talks. This will help you understand the current conversations and debates in your industry and identify potential gaps or areas for exploration.

  1. Extract Key Insights and Takeaways

Extract key insights and takeaways from the TEDx talks that resonate with you. Look for quotes, statistics, and anecdotes that support your arguments or spark new ideas. Organize these insights into categories or themes to help you identify potential content topics. Use these insights to create a list of potential topics, questions, or challenges to explore in your content.

  1. Adapt and Expand on TEDx Ideas

Adapt and expand on the ideas presented in the TEDx talks. Ask yourself:

  • What are the implications of these ideas for my industry or niche?
  • How can I apply these ideas to real-world problems or challenges?
  • What are the potential applications, benefits, or consequences of these ideas?

Use these questions to help you develop new insights, perspectives, or solutions that build on the ideas presented in the TEDx talks.

  1. Create Unique and Relevant Content

Finally, use the insights, themes, and ideas you’ve extracted from the TEDx talks to create unique and relevant content for your LinkedIn audience. Make sure to:

  • Add your own perspective, experiences, and expertise to the conversation
  • Use storytelling techniques to make your content more engaging and relatable
  • Focus on providing value, insights, and practical advice to your audience

By leveraging existing TEDx videos on YouTube, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge, inspiration, and ideas to fuel your thought leadership content on LinkedIn. Remember to always add your own unique perspective and value to the conversation to make your content stand out.
