FROM THE DESK OF JEFF DOLAN

The One Social Media Strategy To Rule Them All

Speaking to a comedian today, a light went off.

Amid hearing about how high ad costs are getting, how influencer fees are rising, and how AI is changing everything, this was refreshing.

The creative is the variable.

It makes ad costs go down.

It makes your regular posts go viral.

And it sure does build your community all by itself.

There are a million and one marketing strategies out there.

But this simple strategy boils it all down to this:

Do people want to share it before it even finishes?

What is the it?

That's the question. Your creativity you add to the content is the it.

You could have the most amazing emails, funnels, landers, widgets, gizmos, thinga-majings. Yawn.

I urge you this week to think about your special sauce that makes someone want to share you content before it finishes playing.

It just might change everything for you.

In case you missed it:

• If you are in podcasting, you should know the Top 30 US Podcast Networks that are crushing it right now. Take notes.
• ​YouTube is deleting its Stories feature on 6/26/2023. My theory is that YouTube Shorts were doing better because no one wants their hard work to disappear. What do you think?
• ​The Black Podcasting Awards are still accepting entries!

WAVVE DESIGN OF THE WEEK

I really liked the smart use of the square waveform animation around the title of the show and the great use of the vertical space and photo on the right. Brand colors grab your attention. The fingers are pointing to the title. The viewers eyes land on the logo as the last jump before looking for the action to take. Great work and an easy template to model..
