5 Billion Views: What Rob Clark Knows About Social Media

Season #1 Episode #475

475

Overview

Rob Clark from That Tall Family has generated over 5 billion views on social media, and in this episode, he breaks down exactly what it takes to get attention in 2025. We talk about why most video businesses are posting the wrong way, how to create content that actually converts, and the game-changing mindset shift you need to stop chasing clients and start attracting them. If you've been struggling to grow your audience or wondering if social media even matters for your production business, this conversation will change how you think about content creation.

Key Takeaways

Attention is the new currency. If you don't have people's attention, you don't have a business. Rob's entire philosophy centers around earning attention first, then converting it into clients and revenue.

The 20% rule for creators. Dedicate at least 20% of your work week to building your own brand and creating content for yourself—not just for clients. This investment pays off by letting you charge more, attract better clients, and prove you actually know what you're doing.

Stop overthinking your content. The biggest mistake video businesses make is waiting until everything's perfect. Rob creates content daily because he knows consistency beats perfection every single time.

Your expertise means nothing without proof. Would you hire a personal trainer who's out of shape? Same goes for social media. If you're telling clients they need video content but you're not creating your own, you're losing credibility (and clients).
