LinkedIn's TikTok-inspired video feedāan opportunity you can't miss

Good morning.
Since 2004, social media platforms have had almost as many eras as Taylor Swift.
Nine major āarbitrage erasāāthose golden windows of time when reach was high, competition was low, and opportunity was MASSIVE (if you acted fast enough).
An arbitrage, in this case, refers to a significant mismatch between supply and demand. This typically occurs when social platforms are new (e.g. Threads in 2023) or a major new feature is introduced on an existing platform.
When supply is low, because few people are using that feature yet, and demand is massive due to hundreds of millions of daily active users, the golden opportunity window presents itself.
You probably remember missing the boat on a few of these. I know I do. š©
Platform | Era | Arbitrage |
---|---|---|
2007ā2012 2015ā2020 | Free Page reach (pre-algorithm) and cheap Facebook Ads | |
2009ā2013 2020ā2023 | Unfiltered timeline, real-time reach, growth hacks, hashtags, pandemic-era threads explosion | |
2011ā2016 | Organic photo growth, theme pages, influencer brand deals before saturation | |
Snapchat | 2013ā2016 | Direct-to-audience access, Geo-filters, influencer takeovers |
TikTok | 2017ā2022 | Viral growth with no followers, sound trends, and a creator fund boost |
Put on your green suit like Alexander Hamilton, and letās not throw away your shotāagain.
Letās get into it.
