In the digital marketing landscape, the mantra “content is king” isn’t just a catchy phrase. It’s a guiding principle that underpins marketing strategies and shapes brand identities. Successful brands understand that it’s not merely about content existence, but about its ability to engage, captivate, and spur audiences to action.
At Dr. Rissy’s Writing and Marketing, we understand the power of engaging content. It’s not about the quantity of content produced, but the quality and impact it holds. We adhere to key principles and learn from successful real-life examples, and one case we’re excited to share is that of our founder, Morissa Schwartz
The Pareto Principle in Action
We implement the Pareto Principle, suggesting that 20% of your efforts can lead to 80% of the results. For social media marketing, this translates into a small fraction of your posts – those directly advertising your services – leading to the majority of your engagement and follower growth.
However, the magic of the Pareto Principle lies in the 80% of your posts that may not directly advertise your services but share engaging, interesting, and shareable content. These posts often capture attention, go viral, and exponentially increase your visibility and brand awareness.
Case Study: Morissa Schwartz
As an example of this principle, we turn to our founder, Morissa Schwartz. Morissa has amassed over half a million followers across her platforms, and her success story provides an effective demonstration of the Pareto Principle.
Morissa built her robust following by masterfully balancing direct promotion with crafting engaging and shareable content. She maximized her engagement by leveraging trending topics and utilizing videos – a powerful, immersive content medium. Her posts often have the potential to go viral, leading to an increase in visibility and follower growth.
For example, by using trending hashtags relevant to her audience and creating authentic video content around those topics, Morissa managed to attract and engage a wider audience. She has successfully harnessed the power of current trends and visual storytelling to resonate with her followers.
Tips for Creating Engaging Content
Drawing on these principles and the successful implementation by Morissa, here are a few tips to help you create engaging content:
- Understand Your Audience: Know their interests, challenges, and values. Use this information to create content that resonates.

- Be Authentic: Authenticity builds trust. Share your brand’s story, values, and vision in a relatable way.
