I read the 13 paradoxes of Modern life by @david_perell

That got me thinking about the paradoxes we face as content creators

and one of the most famous paradoxes is

QUANTITY eventually paves the way for QUALITY

Here's a thread exploring it

But what is a paradox?

I believe this picture explains it better

The paradox of 'Quantity gives Quality'

I've heard many modern creators and writers mention "quantity paves the way for quality"

But higher quantity effectively means lower quality

Trying to increase quality with the same bandwidth has an inverse effect on the quality

The idea here is to find the balance between Quality and Quantity

But the question is how?

For example

I could start writing 3 Twitter threads every day

But this would mean a hit on the quality of my threads (since I also work a full-time job)

I could cut back and write one a day (as I usually do)

But this would not get me the engagement and visibility as 3 threads would

But it would be a thread of higher quality

So, how do I decide here?

This paradox can be solved by asking yourself the following questions

1. What's your goal?
2. What's your timeline to achieve that goal?
3. What is your version of acceptable quality?
4. What is the market's standard of acceptable quality?

Once you answer these questions it should help you find the right balance between Quantity and Quality

It definitely helped me find the right balance as a creator

But here's my take on Online Content Creation

If you want to improve the quality of your content

Increase your quantity 🤠

The more I write, the more refined my writing becomes

The more videos I create, the more I know what works and what doesn't

It's all about experimentation

Stick to a certain quantity
Create
Analyze the results and your energy levels
Modify the quantity
Rework and adapt

use this feedback loop

As a creator, it's your responsibility to always keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone 👍

It is also your responsibility to make sure you don't burn yourself out in the process

I've also challenged myself to build a following of 10k on Twitter by the end of this year

Yes, that's not even 50 days away.
