ADVICE

Discovery vs. Relationship Platforms

  1. 🤝 Relationship Platforms:
  • You own and control these.
  • Decentralized (e.g., email, podcasts, SMS, private communities).
  • Content delivery is reliable and chronological.
  1. 📣 Discovery Platforms:
  • Built-in mechanisms for content discovery (e.g., social media, YouTube, search).
  • Monetized with ads, incentivizing engagement.
  • Easier audience growth, but less control and susceptible to platform changes.
  1. 🤔 Choose One of Each:
  • Every creator should use at least one of each platform type.
  • Relationship platforms are more resilient long-term assets.
  1. 💡 Pick Your Discovery Platform:
  • Video: Long-form? YouTube. Short-form? Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
  • Writing: Twitter, LinkedIn, Threads (all three are reasonable).
