Show Notes
The online space is shifting fast — and if you create content for a living,
you can feel it.
In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson breaks down how content
creators and online entrepreneurs need to adapt in 2026 as algorithms
evolve, AI search expands, and audience behaviour changes. This is not
an episode about chasing trends or gaming platforms. It’s about
understanding what’s actually being rewarded now — and how to
work with it
instead of burning yourself out.
Vickie unpacks the rise of storytelling, answer-based content,
personality-driven brands, long-form
platforms, and the return to community and in-person
connection. She also explains how Human Design offers a clear
shortcut for creating content that feels natural, sustainable, and deeply
human in an increasingly automated world.
If you’ve been feeling like the old content rules no longer apply,
you’re right. This episode will help you recalibrate.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why storytelling matters more than ever in an
AI-saturated online space
How content-based algorithms and AI search
systems now scan and rank your content
What “answer-based content” really means and how to use it
Why vague spiritual language no longer converts — and what
to say instead
How to optimize your content for search intent without losing
your voice
The role personality plays in modern personal brands (and why
hiding isn’t working)
How your Human Design Profile shapes the way you should create
content
Why UGC and everyday authenticity are outperforming polished
brand content
The growing return to community, in person offerings, and
analog experiences
Why long form content is winning again — and how it builds trust
and demand
How to blend online visibility with offline connection in a
changing market
Key Takeaway:
The future of content isn’t louder, faster, or more automated — it’s
clearer, more human, and more intentional. Creators who understand
search intent, lean into storytelling, and show up as real people will
be the ones who thrive in 2026 and beyond.
