stop chasing views, start being relevant

stop chasing views, start being relevant

if you’re in the creator game, you know the struggle. everyone wants to go viral or get those massive follower counts. but are we missing the point? what if the real key to success online is not reach? instead, what if it’s all about being relevant to the right people? relevance is the secret sauce that keeps your audience coming back, and here's why it matters.

focus on your niche

trying to appeal to everyone is a losing battle. think about it—if someone in your niche has a problem today, would they even think of you first? or are you just one of many options in their mind? you gotta carve out that unique space where you shine. be the go-to person for a specific issue.

the power of being remembered

when your name pops up as a solution, that's when your content starts to resonate. views might get you noticed, but being relevant gets you remembered. how many times have you scrolled past a popular creator only to forget their name minutes later? instead, focus on creating value that speaks directly to your audience’s needs. be the “email marketing teardown account” or whatever fits your jam.

own your space

owning a tiny lane doesn’t mean you can’t grow; it just means you’re building a solid foundation. when a problem arises, you want them thinking of you as the only option. be unforgettable. your content strategy should reflect this mindset.

in conclusion

so, the next time you're tempted to chase views, ask yourself: am I being relevant? am I the first name that comes to mind when someone needs help? remember, it’s all about quality, not quantity. stay real, focus on your niche, and watch your relevance grow.
