The 2-Minute Content Audit

Most creators overthink their content.

Not because they're dramatic (well... sometimes), but because they forget one simple truth: Your audience doesn't need more from you — they need clearer from you.

Here's a two-minute exercise I use when my content feels cluttered or I'm stuck on what to post next. Pull up your last 3-5 pieces of content — posts, newsletters, videos, whatever you've published recently.

Ask yourself three questions:

1. What was the point of this piece? If you can't say it in one sentence, your audience couldn't either.

2. Did I make the path obvious? What did you want them to do or feel? Learn something? Think differently? Laugh? Click? If the point isn't leading somewhere clear, the content collapses.

3. Does this sound like me, or someone I follow? This one stings, but it's where breakthroughs happen. The more you sound like yourself, the sharper your work becomes.

That's it. Two minutes.

After doing this a few times, you'll spot patterns — what works, what's fluff, what's authentically you. Once you recognize the patterns, you can create with greater intention and less stress.

Today's challenge: Before you hit publish on your next piece, run it through the 2-Minute Audit. You'll be amazed how much better your work feels when you can explain it to yourself first.

Your voice gets clearer. Your ideas get sharper. Your execution will be faster.

Un Chispa every day till the end of the year.

This newsletter will normally be weekly but for December. I'll be sending something every day. Putting in the reps. I'm doing this because to get good at something, you need to put in the reps, but if I know if I do it weekly right now. Something will inevitably come up, and I'll push it off. So for the rest of 2025, you'll get a little note from me sharing a tip, a lesson I've learned. A good Taco recommendation or thoughts on things that inspired me this week. La Chispa of the Day Holiday...

Chasing Dreams, One Step at a Time

The Weekly Chispa by Danny Rubio Welcome to the very first spark of The Chispa. This newsletter is my way of sharing quick reflections, personal stories, and useful tips from life as a Latino creative, entrepreneur, and family man trying to build something meaningful. Think of it as a little flame you can carry into your own week, sometimes small, sometimes bright, always real. Normally, this is a weekly newsletter, but for December, I'll be sharing thoughts a little more frequently;...
