    Five categories of share worthy content:
    1. Needed this - motivational inspirational
    2. Call to arms, eg, I’ve bucket challenge
    3. That’s me - so relatable
    4. Feather-ruffling- contrarian
    5. In the know - breaking news, meme-worthy moments

    i saved this for later, now im back , time to take note and listen.
    Edit:
    Wow i dont kwon what to say, Simply thank you. so much value in this Podcasts.
    1 million sub on the way no doubt.
    Note:
    being genuine and authentic
    -more followers you want to grow, the faster you want to grow, the more share worthy content
    -your feed posts should be pretty exclusively niche related
    -shares are the best form of engagement
    -really strong hooks that speak to people desires and their problems and their pain points
    -share worthy content is generally the content that is. Is entertaining as the content that gives dopamine
    -The algorithm will still push you out simply for the fact that people are sharing it............
    Sory guys just listen to the video. i will stop there.
    thank you again, Brian.

      Old news. Shares mean close to nothing (alone). That was last year. Engagement is everything. Engagement = comments, dms, shares, replies to stories, on going convos, period, story sticker usage/engagement, ect.

    I'm not experiencing the "share" phenomenon. I had a recent post shared a dozen or so times. It has 1,600 views. But another post with 2 shares has over 2k views. This has been consistent for the last 3 or so months. I've found, at least with my content, it's watch time and rewatch time that has driven the most views.
    Great interview. Brock is a damn rockstar, been following him for years.

    • @BroMaxxing
      @BroMaxxing Місяць тому +3

      Because your content isn't at a level where it matters yet. the difference between 1,600 and 2k isn't significant enough. You'll see how shares are important when you get a viral video with 20k+ views

    • @ScottEMoe
      @ScottEMoe Місяць тому

      @@BroMaxxing not true for me. Maybe it's the case for you. I've had several professionally produced videos (I own a media company that produces TV shows, etc, one of the shows is currently on Fox). Even with the professional produced content split tested, etc. the results have been consistent.. Watch and rewatch time are king when it comes to my content. This doesn't mean what you suggest applies to a wider audience. For me the hares just don't have the juice
      But your overall message is relevant for this not producing high quality content.

    Nice pod man!!
    I am an artist and use a personal account, I get pretty good engagement, then I change it to a professional account and pay to boost the account to grow, the result is I get quite a lot of followers and likes, after the funds for the boost run out I always get 0 every time I post and reel. is this because I once boosted my account? then I changed it back to a personal account and the result is still the same, always 0, what I regret is changing the account to pro and doing boosting, because after that my account feels like there is no engagement, it is very unfortunate if in the end it is a matter of money power.
