Content MVP Testing
Share
A strategy for testing content and building audience engagement by starting with minimal viable production quality, focusing on consistency over perfection.
Core Content Strategy
- Focus on quantity over quality initially
- Test content with minimal production effort
- Build audience habits through consistency
- Gradually improve quality once engagement is proven
YouTube Strategy
- Start with single continuous shot videos
- Skip editing and post-production initially
- Keep recording even through mistakes
- Treat content as an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
- Only invest in editors/production after audience validation
Twitter Growth Tactics
- Use Twitter advanced search to find successful tweet formats
- Study popular accounts' most engaged tweets
- Iterate on proven formats with small tweaks
- Quote tweet strategy: repost popular tweets with attribution
- Create auto-playing videos through Twitter media center
- Maintain daily posting schedule for algorithm relevance
- Never miss a day of posting to maintain relevancy engine position
Platform Algorithm Understanding
- Twitter prioritizes consistent creators (10% creators, 90% consumers)
- Platform needs to hook users immediately with engaging content
- Missing days reduces visibility in the algorithm
- Engagement habits with audience must be maintained daily
- Losing consistency leads to replacement by other creators in feed
Content Distribution Innovation
- Create "meme factories" using GIPHY
- Design branded GIFs with watermarks
- Leverage GIPHY's integration across multiple platforms
- Use black and white design for consistent branding
- Take advantage of GIPHY's cross-platform reach versus individual platform efforts
Monetization Opportunities
- Platform tipping (Twitter, Twitch)
- Subscription products
- Merchandise/swag
- Multiple revenue streams possible
- Focus on building audience before monetization
