If you’ve ever sat down to create content and felt completely stuck, staring at a blank screen wondering what to post…you’re not alone.
Most people think they need to be wildly original to succeed in social media and network marketing. They believe they must come up with never-before-seen ideas, groundbreaking insights, and 100% unique content.
But the truth?
🔑 Success in content creation isn’t about being original. It’s about being strategic.
And one of the fastest, most effective ways to create high-performing content without reinventing the wheel is remixing.
Let me explain.
Virgil Abloh’s 3% Rule (and How It Will Change Your Content Forever)
The late Virgil Abloh, one of the greatest creative minds of our time, built his entire brand on remixing. His approach was simple:
“A creative only has to add a three per cent tweak to a pre-existing concept in order to generate a cultural contribution deemed innovative.”
In other words, you don’t need to start from scratch.
You take an idea that’s already winning, make a small but meaningful tweak, and reintroduce it in a fresh way.
This method is game-changing for network marketers who are trying to grow on social media.
Why?
Because instead of wasting hours stressing over original content, you can repackage high-performing ideas into your niche and start creating viral hits effortlessly.
The Outliers Game: Why You Shouldn’t Create from Scratch
I don’t look at content creation as a creative game.
I see it as an outliers game.
What do I mean?
The best content creators and marketers don’t sit in a cave trying to be original geniuses. Instead, they find what’s already working and remix it to fit their brand and audience.
Instead of trying to force viral moments, they engineer them by leveraging data, patterns, and proven formulas.
This is exactly how NetWave approaches social media.
🚀 We don’t just create random content.

And guess what? It works like crazy.
How to Use Remixing in Your Network Marketing Content
So how do you apply this to your content strategy today?
Here’s a 3-step process to remix winning content for your own brand:
Step 1: Identify Winning Content in Your Niche
First, you need to find what’s already working.
Look at the top-performing posts in your industry and ask yourself:
🔎 What’s getting the most engagement?
🔎 What topics, hooks, and styles are consistently winning?
🔎 What viral formats are people using again and again?
📌 ACTION STEP: Go through 5-10 top influencers or brands in your space. Write down their most viral content over the past 6 months.
Step 2: Reframe & Repackage the Idea for Your Audience
Once you have a list of high-performing content, don’t just copy it—remix it.
- Change the angle – Instead of repeating the same message, shift the perspective.
- Personalize it – Add your own experience, story, or insight to make it unique.
- Connect it to your business – Tie the concept back to your product or opportunity.
Example 1: Remixing a Trending Video Format
- ORIGINAL: A fitness influencer posts a short-form video titled, “This one diet mistake is ruining your results.”
- REMIXED FOR NETWORK MARKETING: “This one mistake is keeping you broke in network marketing (and how to fix it).”
See how simple that is? Same hook, same concept, just applied to your niche.
Example 2: Remixing a Viral Quote
- ORIGINAL QUOTE: “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you’ll work until you die.” – Warren Buffett
- REMIXED FOR NETWORK MARKETING: “If you don’t build passive income, you’ll never escape the 9-5 grind.”
Again—same principle, different spin.
📌 ACTION STEP: Take 3 viral posts from your niche and remix them into network marketing content.
Step 3: Make It Your Own & Keep Testing
Once you start remixing ideas, keep iterating and optimizing until you find what works best for your audience.
🚀 Test different hooks and angles
🚀 Adjust the messaging to match your personality
🚀 Track what gets the most engagement and double down on it
The best part?
The more you remix, the more your unique voice develops.
You’ll naturally evolve into a creator who puts out fresh, high-value content—without ever running out of ideas.
📌 ACTION STEP: Post one remixed piece of content today and track its engagement.
“Isn’t This Just Copying?” Nope. It’s Smart Marketing.
A lot of people ask me, “Isn’t this just copying? Won’t people notice?”
Nope. And here’s why.
The internet is built on remixing ideas.
📖 Every book is inspired by another book.
🎶 Every song samples from previous sounds.
📺 Every TV show borrows storytelling techniques from older shows.
Everything we see today comes from something before it.
What makes it unique is your personal spin, experience, and branding.
The key is to take inspiration—not duplicate.
Why This Strategy Works for Network Marketing
🔹 It removes content overwhelm – No more sitting around trying to “think of something original.”
🔹 It shortcuts the path to virality – You’re using proven formulas instead of guessing.
🔹 It lets you focus on execution, not ideation – Spend less time brainstorming and more time creating.
