One of the biggest challenges in life, and in marketing, today is staying consistent and avoiding burnout.
One of the biggest challenges in life, and in marketing, today is staying consistent and avoiding burnout. I’ve learned that a lot of times you don’t need hours and hours and hours of effort, or long content, to make a big impact. The meta for 2025 is Micro-content. By focusing on bite-sized, high-quality, and high-impact content, I’ve been able to create a consistent presence across platforms for partners and clients.
1. What is Micro-Content?
Micro-content is short, impactful pieces of content designed to grab attention and deliver value quickly. Think 15-30 second reels.
Why it works:
Attention spans are shorter than ever: Most people just scroll through content, your audience is passing your content on there way to other 'more valuable' content. Micro-content gets to the point fast, adds value, and doesn't fully disrupt your audiences experience. Believe it or not, people don't just go on social media to consume your content, you have to connect with them along their session journey.
Milk your content: With micro-content you can break up existing content, allowing you to get 3-6 pieces of high value, high impact content out of what previously would've just been 1 or 2 pieces of content. This allows you to be even more discoverable. You need a large quantity of high quality.
Highly shareable: Shorter content is infinitely more likely to be shared, amplifying your reach. From the Pros we had the majority of our views/impressions come from re-shares. I believe that getting reshares is the most valuable way to grow, period. So optimize your content accordingly!
Example: A 15-second video sharing a quick tip or an engaging graphic with a concise call to action has outperformed a 5-minute video in terms of reach and engagement.
