Quality Over Volume Strategy
Share
A discussion about shifting away from high-volume, low-quality content creation to focus on fewer but higher quality pieces that stand out.
Core Philosophy
- Create 1/10th the amount of content but make it 10x better
- Focus on standing out from the crowd rather than following trends
- Prioritize quality over frequency
- Aim for more meaningful and challenging content creation
Why This Approach
- Current content landscape is saturated with similar content
- Generic business advice and Twitter threads feel inauthentic
- Standard content formats (like Twitter threads) have become too common
- People are craving more in-depth, thoughtful content
Content Strategy Shift
- Move away from quick-hit content
- Focus on creating "badass pieces" that are challenging to produce
- Examples of higher effort content:
- Writing screenplays
- Creating rap songs
- Producing longer-form blog posts
- Accept that content might flop but commit to quality
Innovation in Content Delivery
- Explore new ways to use existing platforms
- Email innovations:
- Think beyond traditional word limits
- Use GIFs and hosted media
- Create interactive experiences (refresh for part 2)
- Platform hacking:
- Consider 500-tweet long-form content
- Find creative ways to work within platform constraints
Benefits
- More enjoyable creation process
- Stand out from competitors
- Create more meaningful work
- Better audience engagement
- More sustainable long-term strategy
