If you just started a blog, a youtube channel, an Instagram account, you name it, just choose quantity over quality.

Choosing quality will make you a perfectionist and postpone your progress indefinitely. Thinking of quantity, on the other hand, allows you to put out content, to try what works and what doesn’t.

Sure there’s a learning process, but if you keep perfecting that first piece of content, you’re also allowing yourself to fall victim to the fear of failing, ending up doing nothing at all.

The first draft needs to be fast, consequently, it will be bad and possibly wrong. Don’t worry, you’ll improve.

That one good video you deliver to your audience, in your first month, won’t give your channel as much traction as the 10 worst ones will. It’s all a matter of being as productive as possible.

Also, by producing more and more content you’ll gradually get better as experience starts to sink in.

Inspired by a fellow creator, I decided to challenge myself to publish 100 short-form articles within January. This is article number 18.
