π― The 80/20 Rule Is The Most Underrated Marketing Principle Nobody Talks About Enough.
Let me break this down for you. 80% of your results β your leads, your sales, your followers, your opportunities β are coming from just 20% of what you're creating. Read that again. That means most of the content you're stressing over, losing sleep about, and spending hours creatingβ¦ is not moving the needle. And that's not a knock on your effort. That's just how the rule works. The problem is most people respond to this the wrong way. They create MORE content. They try MORE platforms. They chase MORE trends. When the real answer is simpler and scarier at the same time: Do LESS. But do the RIGHT things more. π Here's How To Find YOUR 20% Go back through your last 90 days of content right now and ask yourself: - Which posts got the most comments, saves, or shares? - Which content brought in the most DMs or inquiries? - Which topics made people tag someone or send it to a friend? - Which videos got watched all the way through? - Which emails had the highest open and click rates? THAT is your 20%. That's the content your audience is raising their hand for. That's what they want more of. That's what they're telling you β with their attention β actually matters to them. π‘ Now Here's What Most People Get Wrong They find their best performing contentβ¦ and then move on to something new anyway. They think repeating a topic is lazy. They think their audience will get bored. They think they have to keep reinventing the wheel. But here's the truth β Most of your audience never even saw your best post the first time. Algorithms bury content. People scroll fast. Life gets in the way. Your best post from 3 months ago is brand new to someone who just found you yesterday. So stop leaving your best work on the table. π The Double Down Strategy When you find your 20% β here's exactly what to do: 1οΈβ£ Repost it β with a new hook or angle 2οΈβ£ Repurpose it β turn that one post into a reel, carousel, email, and story 3οΈβ£ Go deeper β if a topic resonated, create a part 2, 3, and 4 4οΈβ£ Build on it β turn your best content into a lead magnet, workshop, or offer 5οΈβ£ Repeat it β rotate your top performers every 6-8 weeks consistently
