The importance of content modularity
Growth is about testing. You need content that you can cut, mix, and recycle. Take your hour-long webinars and break them into fifty tiny, independent clips. This gives the network provider the raw material to test different hooks and messages. In a growth context, a short, punchy clip that drives a click is worth more than a masterpiece that gets a lot of likes but no traffic. Your goal is to fill the pipe with as many unique variations of your core value proposition as possible.
Leveraging your existing assets
Don't waste time and money filming new content. You already have enough. Look at your past ads, your course lessons, your YouTube channel, and your student interviews. All of these are valid assets. Strip away the corporate polish and find the raw clips that get to the point. If you have a video of a student winning, that's gold. If you have a screen recording showing how your platform solves a problem, that's gold too. Collect them, categorize them, and get them to the provider.
The feedback loop
The beauty of a network is the data you get back. You will quickly see which content leads to the most sign-ups. As a head of growth, this is your primary input. Stop spending energy on the content that doesn't drive traffic and start doubling down on the formats and themes that do. You are not just pushing content; you are iterating on a distribution system. The more you feed it, the more you learn, and the more efficient your acquisition becomes over time.
Managing the creative supply chain
Your job is to keep the pipeline full. You don't need to worry about the posting schedule or the automation; that is managed by a service like TIDE. Your focus is the volume and relevance of the clips. If the network starts to lag, it is usually because the creative library is stale. Maintain a consistent cadence of adding new content, whether it's from new student cohorts or new feature releases, to ensure the network remains vibrant and continues to drive traffic to your site.
Feed the network with a large volume of modular, authentic video clips to maximize testing and conversion traffic.

Follow-up questions
Should I focus on quality or volume?
Focus on volume initially. Once you have a high volume, you can use the data to improve the quality of the top-performing clips.
How many clips should I have ready?
Start with at least 50. The more you have, the better the network can spread them across different pages and audiences.
How do I measure content success?
Track which specific clips lead to a spike in traffic to your enrollment page. Those are your winners.
