5 What's your "virality" rate (posts that beat 10× your average)?
A viral post isn't luck — it's the signal that your content resonates. If you never go viral, something's missing.
1 in every 5 posts
1 in every 10-20
Almost never
I don't track it
6 Does your content generate leads or direct sales?
Content without conversion is a hobby. Authority must translate into business.
Yes, clients come through my content
Sometimes, but inconsistently
No, content is just visibility
7 On how many platforms do you publish consistently?
One platform done well > 3 half-done platforms. But distribution multiplies reach.
1 platform (done well)
2 platforms
3+ platforms
None consistently
8 Do you measure your content's performance?
No data, no optimization. The minimum: engagement rate, reach and conversions per content type.
Yes, with a dashboard/tracking
I check basic metrics
I don't measure anything
