Key Takeaways
- When a piece of content fails, it’s usually because it’s shallow, patronising, confusing doesn’t deliver what it promised, isn’t relatable and just doesn’t resonate
- On social media, we take actions of either crying for attention or defining ourselves to others, and that’s how we decide what to share
- People share nostalgic content because the way they grew up is what shaped them to who they are today
- To achieve this with your content, make it polarising, make people see things more clearly, give people hope, or make it cause-related
- Be curious, don’t be lazy and don’t get distracted by formats
