The hook for one of my top performing ads right now is essentially just three words:

Stop making content.

You can never be sure with ads… but my hunch is that one of the reasons it's doing so well isn't just the catchy hook…

… but because it taps into something a lot of folks are feeling – stuck on a social media treadmill that seems to be getting faster and faster.

Posting huge amounts of content might boost your algorithm scorecard of likes, followers and comments…

But that isn't the scorecard for building a business.

Platforms don't care whether you succeed or not – their goal is to keep people scrolling.

That's why their metrics reward volume and frequency, not quality.

They've got entrepreneurs chasing bigger audiences, rather than deeper connections with the right audience.

In this week's episode of Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I go deep on this, including:

  • Why the content treadmill is burning people out – and how to get off it

  • Why going viral is a pain in the ass

  • The scorecard social media wants you to follow… and the metrics you should actually be tracking

  • The TWO things social media is great for

  • Dan's "gut check" test for every piece of content you post

  • Why posting for volume is right at one stage of business – but wrong at another

  • What building connection with your audience actually means – and how to do it without having to post 3,253 times a day

  • Why AI generated content gets you likes… but doesn't build a business

  • The type of content that loses the crowd – and why that's a good thing

  • What I'd do first if I was starting from scratch today

… and more.

Odds are, you're not selling a mass market product like Red Bull. So you don't need a huge audience to build a life changing business.

What you need is connection, authority, and positioning with the right audience, so they believe you can help them solve their problem.

Here's what that actually looks like – and how to do it.
