Quality Over Volume Strategy

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
