Consistency is King

  • Lesson 1: Consistency Trumps Perfection

    Don't compare yourself to established content creators who have been perfecting their craft for 15+ years. Instead, find your own sustainable pace. Start by committing to a consistent schedule - even if it's just once a week. Pick a specific day and time (like Monday at 5 PM) and stick to it religiously, regardless of circumstances. Creating a predictable rhythm is more valuable than sporadic bursts of content.

  • Lesson 2: The Three-Month Rule

    Give your content strategy at least three months before evaluating its success. Create and publish consistently for 12 weeks, focusing on making each video slightly better than the last. This timeframe provides enough data to identify patterns and determine which content resonates with your audience. The internet will give you analytics and feedback - you just need to pay attention and adjust accordingly.

  • Lesson 3: Focus on Value, Not Just Views

    Successful content isn't just about viral metrics. If you're creating business content, even a small, engaged audience can generate significant returns. For example, a doctor's video with 25,000 views might convert only a small percentage to customers, but those conversions could be worth thousands. Build content that serves your larger goals, whether that's selling products, services, or establishing expertise.

  • Lesson 4: Don't Obsess Over Early Analytics

    In the beginning stages, view counts and analytics provide little meaningful information. There simply isn't enough data to establish patterns or make informed decisions. Instead of fixating on numbers, focus on consistently improving your content quality and finding your voice. Meaningful patterns will only emerge once you've accumulated sufficient views and engagement.

  • Lesson 5: Create Content That Evolves

    Your content strategy should evolve alongside your personal growth and audience feedback. Many successful creators started in completely different niches than where they found success. Be prepared to pivot based on audience response and your developing interests. Use tools like ChatGPT to generate content ideas within your niche - creating variations on a central theme can help you discover what resonates most with viewers.
