Moneyball changed how I think about content, and it fixed the exact trap I was stuck in for years.
In this episode I break down why chasing one viral hit keeps most coaches invisible, and the Moneyball approach that beats it: stop swinging for a perfect 10 and stack a bunch of solid sixes and sevens instead. When I stopped obsessing over quality and tripled my output, my views held steady and my chances to build trust tripled with them.
If you're a coach whose videos aren't going viral and you've decided that's the problem, this reframe will change what you actually chase.
Here's what I get into:
- Why one viral hit loses to a steady stack of good-enough videos
- The production trap that makes every video take three times too long
- Why posting more often doesn't get you punished by the algorithm
- The choice between being famous and being familiar
- Why you should count swings, not views
I'm not telling you to pump out garbage. The opposite. This is about getting your content from a one or a two up to a solid six or seven, then swinging often enough that the right people find you.
So here's the one thing to remember. Stop counting views, start counting swings, because every swing reaches someone new and makes you a little better. If you want those swings to actually lead somewhere, I made a free training on turning your best framework into a $30,000 coaching program without ads, and that's your next swing: https://youtu.be/F3cHaH_H2w4
