Applying the 80/20 Rule to Improve Efficiency in Digital Content Creation.
How to identify and focus on the most effective content for greater results.
Ever feel like you’re putting in endless hours creating content but only seeing minimal results? You’re not alone. Many content creators struggle with this, pouring in time and effort without a clear return. But what if I told you there’s a way to turn this around? Enter the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, a game-changer for digital content creators.
You generally spend 80% of your time on 20% of the project.
What is the 80/20 Rule?
The 80/20 rule, formulated by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, states that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. In business, this often means that 80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers. When applied to digital content creation, it suggests that 80% of your results — traffic, engagement, conversions — come from 20% of your efforts. Sounds intriguing, right?
