For people starting out as creating content as a TESOL instructor, I guess would advise them to do 3 things:

1. Try to learn about your students' interests and try to incorporate them into the content you create. Most people normally don't trust people who aren't trying to relate to them.

2. With #1 in mind, you should incorporate your own interests into your classes. Even if it's a technical term or something you wrote your thesis on, I find students respect you when you enjoy what you teach.

3. I feel you need the mindset of a writer in order to be a good content creator. You should find inspiration in your life and constantly be reflecting on your materials and how you can make them more effective for your students. Even if it's just a funny story that you can help them better understand a concept, that's what language is all about: helping: shared experiences and understanding one another.
