Applying the 70:20:10 principals to content will ensure a good mix. 70% is bread and butter content, consuming less time and engaged broadly. 20% is medium risk content, which engages more deeply. 10% is high risk content which introduces brand new ideas for the next set of medium or low risk content idea.
