Field Notes About Chris

It's not your content. It's the arrangement.

Season #2

A friend sent me a one-minute video he'd made about one of his musical influences. His delivery was natural. The vibe was cool. Nothing was "wrong" with it. But... it was gonna flop.

Not because of anything in it, but because of the order he said things in.

So today, let's do a music promo-content makeover! We're not going to rewrite it. We're just going to move the blocks around β€” and you'll see how much mileage you can get out of simple rearrangement. You'll see how easy it is to make "fine" content go further.

This one's for the busy adult musicians promoting their music in those rare minutes on a weekend, or late at night after the kids are tucked in. If that's you, you're probably not gonna be able to engineer a viral hit every time, and you're not going to realistically optimize every post. You shouldn't have to. But your raw material almost always works better with a small reorder β€” and that's a fix that costs nothing but five minutes, and paying closer attention to... the audience's attention.

In this episode:

  • why attention is a hallway, not a room
  • the four questions every viewer is asking in every moment
  • author order vs. audience order
  • a live makeover of the actual video
  • and more

Here's the idea: you already have the parts. Putting them in the best order is the work.
