How to Improve Social Media Content Quality
ByBudi Pandu
Quality is legibility, not production value
A phone video with a clear idea beats a graded one without. Audiences forgive rough; they do not forgive unclear.
So the first quality question is never about equipment.
Cut the run-up
Most pieces start about four seconds before they need to. Delete the setup and open on the claim.
This one edit does more for retention than any other change we make.
One piece, one idea
Two good ideas in one post means neither is remembered. Split them and you have two posts.
Density is not the same as value.
Audio before visuals
Bad audio ends a video. Slightly soft footage does not.
If there is budget for exactly one upgrade, it is a microphone.
