Content MVP Testing

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
