Building an audience: Quality over Quantity

Building an audience: Quality over Quantity

Would you rather have 100k random followers or the influential Davos crowd? Tim Ferriss asks this thought experiment to underline the importance of the quality and status of your followers instead of just the number of followers.

When it comes to marketing, it's not about the size of the crowd, it's about the influence and status of your followers. That's why it's crucial to strategically choose your target audience as the type of content you put out will attract a certain type of person.

5D's

5D's

You don't wanna be well-known. You should want to be known well. That's when people search for you, subscribe to you, buy from you etc... Think about your image in terms of the 5Ds:

  1. Done: What have I done? People should know about your track record.
  2. Deliver: What do you offer people if they pay attention to you?
  3. Do: What do I do for work? What are my hobbies?
  4. Dreams: What are my goals? Why am I doing what I am doing?
  5. Dork Out: What's your nerd passion? What are you collecting?

There is no such thing as too long. Only too bYoring.

Build Your Netflix Binge-Worthy Show

Build Your Netflix Binge-Worthy Show

Do not create content with the expectation of immediate success. Focus on creating a high-quality and binge-worthy show for the future.

Pay more attention to the quality of the content rather than just the initial views. If you focus on numbers from the beginning, you may become discouraged and give up. Instead, aim to make each piece of content better than the last. Consistency is key to achieving success.

Don't Sell a Thing, Sell a Feeling

Don't Sell a Thing, Sell a Feeling

James Clear doesn't sell habits, but a feeling of self-control. Dana White of UFC doesn't sell fights, he sells "holy shit" moments.

Consumers don't buy features. It's all about the vibe. The feelings. Give people a vibe once, they will check you out a second time. Give them a vibe again and you may have a customer. Give them a consistent vibe over years and you have a fan for life.

So when you are starting, pick the vibe first. It will influence the content more than anything.
