1) Skill Development
- Focus on improving specific skills like communication and presentation, especially for long-form content.
- Consider training or courses to enhance your content creation capabilities.
- Focus on consistent outputs (like one pod per week), not outcomes.
- Don't get discouraged by low views initially, focus on the long-term impact.
2) Long-Form Video Content (YouTube)
Post 1 long-form (8+ minutes) video weekly on YouTube.
- Aim for high viewer retention rates, especially on platforms like YouTube, by creating engaging and informative content.
- Monitor the average watch time of your videos to gauge viewer interest.
3) Audio Podcasts
Convert your YouTube videos into audio podcasts.
Aim for 1 to 3 podcast episodes weekly, including the YouTube audio and possibly additional exclusive content.
4) Instagram Content
Post 7 to 10 Instagram Reels per week, derived from your long-form YouTube content.
Share 20 Instagram Stories per week (low-input, high-trust content).
What to share:
Behind-the-scenes content.
Daily activities (What you're working on).
Business and personal insights.
What's on your mind (POV).
Your passions and hobbies.
5) Email Marketing
Send around 5 emails per week.
- Utilize content from your Instagram Reels and YouTube videos for email content.
6) Consistency & Engagement
- Regularly engage with your audience to build a trusted brand.
- Listen to their frustrations, understand their needs, and address each one of them.
- Use their feedback to refine your content strategy.
- Encourage them to share your content to reach a wider audience.
- Express gratitude for their support.
- Foster a sense of community with them by being more active in the DMs, responding to comments, sharing user-generated content, and creating interactive content like polls and Q&A sessions.
- Leverage the 7h rule:
It takes about seven hours for someone to trust you online. That's about 52 videos with 8 minutes each.
- If your content is of service to others, don't hesitate to share testimonials.
7) Content Repurposing
- Repurpose content across platforms. For example, use segments from your YouTube videos for Instagram Reels and Stories.
- Utilize AI tools or editing software to create snippets from long-form content for social media posts.
- Contextualize content for each platform to maintain reach and engagement.
- Maintain a consistent posting schedule across all platforms.
8) Analytics and Adaptation
- Regularly review your content performance across platforms.
- Adapt your strategy based on what content performs best in terms of engagement, views, and conversion.
- Make regular improvements (the 1% better rule).
- Experiment with different content formats, such as interviews, tutorials, vlogs, or live streams.
9) Quality and Production
- Use props, whiteboards, or visual aids for explanatory videos.
- Invest in good lighting and simple video editing to enhance your content quality.

- Explore opportunities for brand deals and sponsorships, especially if your content aligns with particular brands or products.
