+
+**Action Step:** Interview 5-10 existing customers to gather insights for your buyer personas.

+
+User-generated content (UGC) builds trust and provides social proof. Encourage customers to:
+
+- Share reviews and testimonials
+- Post photos/videos using your products
+- Participate in contests and challenges

+
+**Example:** GoPro's entire content strategy revolves around user-generated videos, creating an authentic community around their brand.
