đ§ YOU Might Be Focusing on the Wrong Screen
|
You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens.So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a phone, youâre not meeting your audience where they actually are. Youâre designing for yourself, not for them. If you keep doing that, youâre just talking to your own screen. So how do you fix that? Or at least, how do you make sure youâre doing it right? âĄď¸ Read your own stuff on your phone Open your blog, website, online store, or newsletters on your phone (from different browsers), on normal cellular data, not WiFi. If it loads slowly, elements lag, or feels tight, that is what your readers feel. âĄď¸ Write for small screens Use short lines, clear breaks, and simple headings. No giant blocks of text. Your reader is scrolling between your messages, not sitting with a coffee and a big monitor. âĄď¸ Make content that lives in apps Turn your big ideas into posts, threads, stories, and short videos. Let people find you where they already scroll, then send them to longer content only when it makes sense. If you want help, I explained this more in a blog post here, so you can learn how to correctly do content repurposing the easy way. âĄď¸ Watch your numbers Check how much of your traffic is mobile. If fewer people visit from mobile, it might mean your mobile layout is weak. Fix the mobile view first because that is where most people come from now. And if fixing design is not your thing, you can hire a freelancer to sort it out for you. Hereâs where you can find them. Your work deserves attention. Now make sure it fits in your readerâs hand.

What if I told you brands arenât really paying for âcreatorsâ anymore? The numbers tell the story: 88% of Americans now belong to niche communities, and 45% feel more connected to them than to mainstream culture. Forbes is calling this Creator Economy 3.0. Theyâre paying for small, trusted channels that reach the right buyers. Long term partnerships, tracked results, clear fit. Itâs a business model change, not a social trend. So if you run a blog, a newsletter, a Pinterest account, or any...
At the very end of 2025, a Business Insider writer did a simple review. She spent a year talking to founders and side hustlers. Then she tried her own thing too, selling pickleball paddles. She didnât find quick success. Sales came in slowly, and some weeks felt pretty dull. After everything, just a few simple lessons made sense to her. Not the big promises or secrets. Just the stuff that actually helps when business feels quiet. Hereâs the core idea: Most people donât quit because they start...
Youâre scrolling like usual. A video stops you for a second. Right there under it, you see buttons like âRemixâ, âUse this Soundâ, or âUse this templateâ. Youâve seen that a hundred times by now. Thatâs not random. Platforms push those buttons because they want people to take part, not just watch. Thatâs when it became clear, posting by itself doesnât work like it used to. They reward participation. Google even points out that younger audiences want to take part and remix content, not just...
