Comparing good vs bad social contentfrom @shwinnabegobrand
[01]
Overview
The creator poses a question comparing a viral video (2.5M views) to a low-performing one (17k views) from the brand Away. He first analyzes the successful video, highlighting its relatable challenge format, low-production authenticity, and strong engagement metrics like shares and bookmarks. He then contrasts this with the unsuccessful video, identifying it as a polished, unengaging ad, before concluding with the advice to create more authentic, 'good' content.

The 'Good' Example Deconstruction
Presents the high-performing item. The creator plays a clip, explains the psychological reasons for its success (relatability, format, authenticity), and validates the analysis with strong engagement metrics.

The 'Bad' Example Deconstruction
Presents the low-performing item as a direct contrast. The creator plays a clip, explains why it fails to connect with the audience (e.g., looks like an ad, lacks a hook), and shows its weak engagement metrics as proof.

Transcript
Is the difference between a video that gets two and a half million views versus 17,000 views? Just another day where I wanna talk about good versus bad social content. Today's example is Away suitcases. This video over here, 2,300,000 views. This video over here, 17,000 views. Let's look at what's going on. 2,300,000 yes. We challenged the way employees to see how much they could fit in suitcase. Immediately, I'm sticking around to watch that video because I know the pain of packing suitcases. I love the idea of the competition. I'm curious to see how many items they're gonna fit in the suitcase. The engagement on this video is strong. 10,000 likes, 400 comments, 1,900 shares. Shares and bookmarks is a metric that I think is really important rank underrated. Bookmarks oftentimes rank indicator of value. Share is oftentimes an indicator of relatability. Watching something like this, it's easy to imagine, oh, you send this to your spouse or partner. It's like, dude, this is you. Every time we go on a trip, you're trying to pack our bags like this. You should enter this competition to see how much stuff you can stuff in here. And as you can see from the video, it's low production. They are not selling you on the suitcase at least directly. They're just having fun in the office. No fancy editing or anything like that. Contrast that to 17,000 views, very little engagement. No surprise there because it just looks like an ad. Why in my feed would I stop to watch this? Unless I'm in the very small percentage of people who are looking for a suitcase right then and there. Frankly, this one probably took far more time to produce and edit. Make more good content.
