The Every Platform Experiment: Business Brain 613
In this episode of Business Brain, Dave Hamilton and Shannon Jean discuss the concept of “Quitter’s Day,” which falls on the second Friday of January and highlights the high rate of people abandoning their New Year’s resolutions by mid-January. They share personal experiences with social media experiments, where Dave posts identical content across various platforms, including X, Threads, Mastodon, and LinkedIn, to measure audience engagement and decide where to focus future efforts. Shannon emphasizes the importance of intentional platform growth, sharing how he grew his following on X from 500 to over 33,000 by consistently engaging and applying the 80-20 content rule-80% value-driven content and 20% fun or intriguing posts.
They also discuss platform-specific audiences, noting that different platforms cater to different demographics and engagement styles. Shannon explains his approach to managing content across platforms using an assistant, while Dave considers platform diversity for his various content topics-tech, business, and music. Both agree that it’s essential to grow one platform at a time to avoid being overwhelmed.
The discussion touches on using algorithms effectively by creating secondary anonymous accounts for experimentation and leveraging high-engagement posts, even on seemingly unrelated topics, to boost overall visibility. They conclude by highlighting the importance of adaptability in social media strategy and hint at upcoming topics for future episodes, including emotional triggers in sales and an interview with Scott Jordan of ScottyVest. The episode ends with a call to action for listeners to leave a review.

    Thanks Dave, thanks Shannon. My favourite is the action bias. For me it helps to make the action as small as possible and not dependent on getting a result, in other words something that I can't fail at. So picking up the ‘phone is the result required, not making the sale initially.

    The new reader looks like a huge Fisher-Price pretend phone with a green tampon tag that you probably can’t remove under penalty of law. Much like a pillow tag. The old chip reader reader was about the size of a credit card and worked fine. PayPal must hire its engineers from a Playground. What a brilliant idea to hookup a large numeric keypad to your phone! (which in case you didn’t notice, already has a numeric keypad.) In addition you get a lame display that looks like it was harvested off an unused batch of pagers from the 1980’s. It makes me laugh - I’m going to have to check out the Square reader. Fail.

    One thing to concider when using Zettle with your website. I currently sell fabric in yardage. We offer quarter yardage (.25) incriments. We have an addon in WooCommerce that allows for this, but Zettle only sells in whole numbers. When we started linking the items, they only showed up in Zettle POS as the whole number, and the amount after the decimel point was lost. We found a work around, but it has made it very confusing for our clients. We have our fabrics now available as quarter yard (.25) and if you want a yard, you will set the quantity to four (4). It seems the only way to make it work right now.
