Episode notes
Account Blindness And The Twice-Removed Test
- Account blindness happens when creators think they follow best practices but their execution is distorted.
- Use a third-party or the "twice removed" share test to evaluate if content is truly shareable.
Use View And Share Benchmarks
- Check professional dashboard: aim for ~1,000,000 views per 30 days or expand to 90 days as a benchmark.
- Expect roughly 1,000 follower growth per 1,000,000 views and a share rate near 20% for shareable content.
Use Trending Audio As Discoverability Boost
- Treat trending audio as helpful discoverability 'extra credit' but not required for virality.
- Use early-adopted audio to appear on the audio page and boost discovery when combined with a strong hook.
