Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Rethinking “Consistency” — It’s About Volume
- Common Myth Busting: The go-to advice “just be consistent” is not enough to cut through today’s crowded social media landscape.
- Visibility Requires Volume:
"Posting two to three pieces a week is just not going to cut it. It's like fishing with a stick when everyone is fishing with a boat and a net."
— Omar Zenhom [01:35] - Increasing volume not only boosts visibility but accelerates your learning from audience feedback and increases the chance that a piece of content takes off.
2. Real Benchmark Numbers from Top Creators
-
Alex Hormozi:
- Hundreds of posts per week (up to 450-500, roughly 65 posts per day across platforms)
- Focuses on systematic repurposing, not just random output.
"He's not posting randomly. He's actually systematically repurposing from other recordings, from other long form content."
— Omar Zenhom [04:10] -
Cody Sanchez:
- Up to 300 short-form posts a week, leading to explosive follower and view growth.
-
Mel Robbins:
- 1,200+ long-form YouTube videos; massive output over a decade fuels repurposing and reach.
-
Omar’s Own Stats:
- Around 50 pieces/week, with a team of 6-7, and aims to ramp up further.
3. Why Volume Matters (and the Reality of Competition)
-
Social media platforms are crowded. To get noticed:
"If you want to be seen, you got to post a little bit more than most people do so that you can be seen."
— Omar Zenhom [03:10] -
Each post is a chance to learn what resonates and to sharpen your strategy.
4. Tiered Content Strategy: What’s “Enough” at Each Level
a. Starting Out
- Goal: Learn fast from your audience.
- Recommended Output:
- 10–20 short-form posts per week (Reels, TikToks, Shorts)
- 2–4 feed/image posts per week
- 1 long-form content piece per week (e.g., newsletter)
b. Growth Tier
- Goal: Become algorithm-friendly for broader reach.
- Recommended Output:
- 25–50 short-form posts per week
- 4–7 feed posts per week
- 1–2 long-form pieces per week
c. Top Tier / Competitive Level
- Goal: Achieve standout visibility.
- Recommended Output:
- Up to 250–300 posts per week across platforms
- Mix includes:
- Multiple short-form clips repurposed from long-form videos
- Quotes, carousels, stories, test ideas
5. Tactical Tips & Efficiency Hacks
-
Don’t Burn Out—Repurpose Content:
Focus on capturing valuable content in various forms, then slice and adapt it across channels. -
Batch and Block:
Schedule dedicated content creation sessions. -
Repeatable Formats:
- Have set segments (e.g., Hot Takes, Myths vs. Truths, Customer Case Studies).
"You need to decide what your segments are so that you can just fill those buckets every single week."
— Omar Zenhom [15:50] -
Outsource Where Possible:
- Offload editing, graphics, scheduling to part-time editors or freelancers.
- Starting at $500–$1,000/month can make a big difference.
6. Practical 30-Day Progression Plan
For Steady Growth:
- Weeks 1–2: Add 10 posts/week (mostly repurposed).
- Weeks 3–4: Add 10 more (include fresh recordings and reactions).
- Week 5 onward: Aim for at least 30 posts/week minimum and continue ramping.
"You're gonna start to see things change over time on social media. When you're doing this consistently, that's going to increase your visibility. And best of all, you're going to learn what resonates faster..."
— Omar Zenhom [18:05]
Notable Quotes
-
On Social Media Strategy:
“Volume and the feedback loops you're going to get is going to get faster, meaning that you're not only going to learn, but you're going to learn faster so that you can see improvement faster.”
— Omar Zenhom [19:00] -
On Getting Started:
“You can do this. Take the steps forward. I thought I couldn't do it...I changed my tune, I upped my volume, I learned from my content...Now have over 100,000 followers…”
— Omar Zenhom [19:50] -
On the Bottom Line:
"If not doing more than most people, then you're just not gonna be seen. And that's just the bottom line…I actually don't think it's worth doing, really, honestly, if you're doing one or two pieces a week, you really should be aiming for a whole lot more."
