The Accordion of Content
The concept of the accordion of content emphasizes the balance between quantity and quality in content creation. Initially, the creator experienced a progression in their content strategy, beginning with Facebook Lives and evolving to YouTube videos. By systematically increasing production from a few videos to a larger volume, they discovered that more frequent posting correlated with higher engagement and viewership. However, they also recognized the importance of refining content quality, leading to a dynamic process of alternating between increasing output and enhancing production standards.
Narrow vs. Broad Topics
Content creators often grapple with choosing topics that appeal to their audience, balancing narrow and broad themes. While broad subjects can attract a wider audience, they may not translate into actionable results for a specific target market, as experienced when expanding from business-centric topics to broader life advice. The creator found that while broader content gained views, it didn't lead to increased sales or genuine engagement with their core audience of business owners. A successful strategy involves focusing primarily on narrow topics that resonate with the desired audience while still integrating broader elements that showcase diverse interests.
Sustainable Content Creation
Long-term sustainability in content creation is addressed through the dual focus on quality and audience engagement. The discussion stresses that individuals should prioritize making content that reflects their true interests and life experiences, drawing in a dedicated following by being authentic. A proposed 70-20-10 model suggests dedicating 70% of content to core themes, 20% to related topics, and 10% to personal passions, helping to maintain a balance. Ultimately, the ability to evolve content over time by adapting themes and formats is crucial for sustained engagement and personal satisfaction.
