Welcome to Upgrade Your Content in 60 Seconds or Less πŸ”₯

This series is about small shifts.

Not rebrands.
Not burnout.
Not rebuilding your entire strategy.

Just simple upgrades that immediately improve how your content performs.

Because most founders do not need more content.

They need sharper execution.

Let’s start with one of the most overlooked performance killers.

 

Tip #1: Use Legible Fonts and High-Contrast Colors ✍🏼

It sounds basic.

But it is one of the biggest reasons people scroll past your content without reading a single word.

If someone cannot read your carousel or reel text within three seconds, they are gone.

No second chances.

No “let me zoom in.”

Gone.

Readability = Retention

Your audience is scrolling fast.

If your text is:

• Too thin
• Too small
• Too decorative
• Too low contrast
• Blending into the background

You lose them before your message even has a chance.

The best-performing content is not always the most creative.

It is the clearest.

 

High-Contrast Wins Every Time

Choose fonts that are:

• Bold
• Clean
• Easy to scan
• Consistent

High-contrast combinations work best. Think bold white text with a black outline. Strong neutrals. Clean backgrounds.

If it takes effort to read, it will not perform.

Clarity beats aesthetic complexity.

Every time.

 

Consistency Builds Recognition

Fonts are part of your brand system.

Just like your logo.
Just like your brand colors.
Just like your tone of voice.

When your font style stays consistent:

• Your content becomes recognizable in a crowded feed
• Your authority increases
• Your audience processes your message faster

Recognition builds familiarity.

Familiarity builds trust.

And trust drives conversion.

 

The Real Upgrade

Your audience should be able to:

Recognize your content instantly.
Understand your message instantly.
Know it is yours instantly.

That starts with something as simple as a scroll-stopping, readable font.

Small shift.

Immediate impact.

If you are ready to refine the details that compound into real performance, reach out directly or visit Instagram to continue the conversation.

Because better content is not louder.

It is clearer.
