How To Get Started With Building An Audience in 2022 (#373)

About this video

Sam Parr and Shaan Puri discuss audience building and content creation strategy, drawing from their own experiences growing on Twitter and building media properties. They emphasize that creating content people want matters far more than production quality or tactics, and explore the distinction between building personal brands versus company brands, the importance of timeliness, and how to identify underserved niches.

Key takeaways

• Good enough content posted at the right time outperforms great content posted too late; timeliness is more important than production quality or originality for virality
• Identify underserved niches within your audience’s worldview rather than trying to appeal broadly; serve existing demand rather than create it
• Sam recommends companies use individual faces to grow faster, while individuals building media properties should create brand umbrellas (not tied to their name) so the asset remains sellable and not a permanent job
• Early growth often comes from providing a service better than others—curation, remixing, and packaging existing content can build massive audiences without original insights
• Successful creators develop a ‘red pill’ or spiky point of view—a contrarian truth that resonates with their audience—and speak from personal experience rather than as a generic expert
