2026'ya doğru giderken sosyal medyada çok net bir kırılma yaşıyoruz. Reklamlar izlenmiyor, uzun videolar yarıda bırakılıyor, klasik influencer iş birlikleri eski gücünü kaybediyor. Ama tam bu noktada bambaşka bir format sahneye çıkıyor ve algoritmaların da kullanıcıların da favorisi haline geliyor. Kısa drama videoları. Bu bölümde, 2026'da sosyal medyayı neden bu formatın kasıp kavuracağını, markalar için ne anlama geldiğini ve neden artık hikaye anlatmadan satış yapmanın neredeyse imkansız hale geldiğini tüm detaylarıyla konuşuyoruz.Kısa drama videoları dediğimiz şey, genellikle 15 ila 60 saniye arasında süren, izleyiciyi ilk birkaç saniyede yakalayan, duygu yaratan ve finalinde mutlaka bir merak unsuru bırakan mini hikayelerden oluşuyor. Aşk, ayrılık, aile içi çatışmalar, dostluk, hayal kırıklıkları, başarı hikayeleri ya da beklenmedik sürprizler… Hepsi çok kısa sürede ama çok güçlü bir etkiyle anlatılıyor. İnsanlar artık dizi izler gibi değil, duygu yaşamak için video izliyor ve bu format tam olarak bunu sağlıyor.Bu içeriklerin bu kadar hızlı yayılmasının en büyük nedeni dikkat süresinin ciddi şekilde kısalmış olması. Kullanıcılar uzun uzun anlatılan reklamları değil, kendilerinden bir parça buldukları sahneleri izlemek istiyor. Kısa drama videoları tam da bu noktada devreye giriyor. İzleyici, kendini hikayenin içinde hissediyor, karakterle empati kuruyor ve farkında olmadan video sonuna kadar kalıyor. Algoritmalar da bunu seviyor. İzlenme süresi yükseliyor, paylaşım oranı artıyor ve video organik olarak çok daha fazla kişiye ulaşıyor.Bugün bu formatın en güçlü olduğu platformların başında TikTok geliyor. Hikaye bazlı içerikler TikTok algoritmasında çok hızlı yayılıyor. Ardından YouTube Shorts geliyor. YouTube, kısa ama anlamlı hikayelere sahip videoları daha uzun süre dolaşımda tutuyor. Instagram Reels ise özellikle duygusal drama içeriklerinde paylaşım ve kaydetme oranlarıyla öne çıkıyor. Üç platformda da ortak nokta şu: Duygu varsa erişim var.Bu trend sadece Türkiye'de değil, global ölçekte de ciddi bir yükselişte. Çin, Hindistan, Amerika, Filipinler ve Endonezya gibi ülkelerde kısa drama videoları adeta mini dizi formatına dönüşmüş durumda. Bazı içerikler 5-6 bölüm halinde yayınlanıyor ve kullanıcılar devamını görmek için hesapları takip ediyor, bildirimleri açıyor. Bu da markalar için inanılmaz bir fırsat anlamına geliyor. Çünkü artık insanlar reklama değil, hikayeye bağlanıyor.Gelir modelleri tarafında da tablo çok net. İçerik üreticileri bu videolardan platform gelir paylarıyla kazanç elde ederken, asıl büyük kazanç sponsorluk ve marka entegrasyonlarından geliyor. Markalar ürünlerini doğrudan satmaya çalışmak yerine, hikayenin bir parçası haline getiriyor. Bir sahnede kullanılan bir ürün, bir karakterin hayatını kolaylaştıran bir çözüm ya da hikayenin akışını değiştiren küçük bir detay olarak yer alıyor. İzleyici bunu reklam gibi algılamıyor ama marka akılda kalıyor.Bu bölümde ayrıca markaların kısa drama videolarını nasıl kullanması gerektiğini, hangi sektörlerin bu formatta daha hızlı sonuç aldığını ve neden 2026'da klasik reklam videolarının yerini hikaye bazlı içeriklerin alacağını detaylarıyla ele alıyorum. Eğer bir markanız varsa, içerik üretiyorsanız ya da sosyal medyada büyümek istiyorsanız bu trendi görmezden gelmek artık mümkün değil.Kısacası, 2026'da sosyal medyada öne çıkmak isteyen herkesin şunu çok iyi anlaması gerekiyor: İnsanlar ürün değil, duygu satın alıyor. Ve kısa drama videoları bu duyguyu en hızlı ve en etkili şekilde sunan format olarak sahnenin merkezine yerleşmiş durumda. Bu bölümde, bu dönüşümü tüm yönleriyle masaya yatırıyoruz.
Today's episode is another 4Ds session where I dig into the tactics of growing businesses with CEOs and entrepreneurs. We discuss the fear of posting content and running ads based on your best organic content. We also talk about the advantage of having a podcast, failing in business, being practical vs ideological, YouTube Shorts, and much more!
Send us a textThe 12 Days of Christmas series on Clipped continues with a reality check that a lot of podcasters need to hear. Today is Day 2 of 12, and this episode focuses on why vertical short-form content won't grow your podcast—but will grow you.There's a common misconception that Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts directly translate into podcast downloads. In most cases, they don't. The jump from seeing a short clip to opening a podcast app, searching for a show, and hitting follow is a long journey—and one that rarely happens.But that doesn't mean short-form video isn't worth doing.
242 | This is why I STOPPED talking to YOU | Part 1This is part one of two explaining where I have been for the past year.When I opened this file in GarageBand—where I store my podcast—it was dated February 22, 2025. Today is Monday, December 22, 2025, and this was not planned. None of this was planned by me.I didn't plan for 10 months to go by since I recorded what I thought was going to be my intro podcast after being gone for a few months at that time. What I realized instead is that I have so much more to say, because so much more has happened between February and December.Because of that, I'm making the choice to record another podcast update, which will be posted in the next few days as part two.Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for listening so I can explain where I have been.Please chime back in with me in the comment section.This is why I STOPPED talking to YOU | Part 1https://youtu.be/3PN-e3I2BJwGet Your Success Fitness Family Membershiphttps://www.youtube.com/@SuccessFitness/membershipMy Home Gym Equipmenthttps://amzn.to/3YDDjpPuse my code FITBREATHE at checkout to get 20% offhttps://www.pnmedical.com/product/breather-fit/HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD I EAT?This FREE guide provides you with knowing your daily caloric & macro intakehttps://linktr.ee/christianevansListen to #TheSuccessFitnessPodcasthttps://linktr.ee/christianevansGrow Your Youtube Channel Like I Do With Vidiqhttps://www.vidiq.com/successfitnessMake 30 Youtube Shorts in 1 Hour Using AI to grow your Youtube channelhttps://www.opus.pro/?via=4b596fGet 15% OFF your EPIC PURE WATER FILTER PITCHER TODAYhttps://epicwaterfilters.myshopify.com?ref=ALIXVCMYRQ&pmx_click_id=MOREWATERConnect with me here! https://linktr.ee/christianevans #moreweight #morecoffee #morecardio #morewater #homegym #homegymworkouts #chestworkout #benchpress #breather #breatherfit #epicpurewater #epicwater #vidiq #workout #fitness
Elke nieuwe generatie roept weerstand op. Ze zouden lui zijn, verwend en te gevoelig. Maar volgens generatie-expert Laura Bas kijken we daarmee precies langs de kern. In haar boek De GenZclopedie beschrijft zij Gen Z niet als ‘lastige jonge werknemers', maar als dragers van noodzakelijke vernieuwing op de werkvloer.In deze aflevering van De Boekenpraktijk spreken we met Bas over hoe Gen Z is opgegroeid, waarom gelijkwaardigheid en praten over gevoelens voor hen vanzelfsprekend zijn en wat dat vraagt van leiderschap en organisatiecultuur. We gaan in op coachend leidinggeven, het belang van oprechte waardering en duidelijke verantwoordelijkheden, en de vraag waarom elke generatie de volgende generatie afwijst.Ook kijken we naar actuele thema's zoals AI als katalysator voor vernieuwing en de rol van jongeren daarin. En hoe bereik en behoud je Gen Z eigenlijk als werkgever? Denk aan recruitment via TikTok en YouTube Shorts, en aan eerlijke ‘day in the life'-verhalen in plaats van gelikte bedrijfsfilms.Een gesprek over generaties, weerstand tegen verandering en wat organisaties vandaag al kunnen doen om toekomstbestendig te blijven.StellingenElke aflevering van de podcast legt host Willem van Leeuwen de gast een aantal stellingen voor. De stellingen bij deze aflevering zijn:1. De behoefte van Gen Z aan waardering wordt te vaak verward met een gevoel van recht op waardering.2. Organisaties mogen meer rekening houden met wat jongeren belangrijk vinden, maar jongeren moeten ook zelf meer eigenaarschap nemen over hun loopbaan.LinksHet boek van Laura Bas bestel je hier: https://www.managementboek.nl/boek/9789024469574/de-genzclopedie-laura-basHaar boekentip is 'Master your mindset' van Michael Pilarczyk: https://www.managementboek.nl/boek/9789079679690/master-your-mindset-michael-pilarczyk OverIn de Boekenpraktijk, de podcast van Managementboek, praat Willem van Leeuwen met auteurs van nieuw verschenen boeken over de brede thema's ontwikkeling en verandering: van persoonlijke ontwikkeling en verandering tot op het niveau van een gehele organisatie. Altijd met een koppeling naar de dagelijkse praktijk.
Apologies for my voice and the lack of graphics. Been sick again and barely got this out today.Episode 179 examines the founding, construction, abandonment, and rediscovery of Dur-Sharrukin (Khorsabad), the short-lived royal capital built by Sargon II of Assyria in the late eighth century BCE. The narrative begins with the history of early Mesopotamian excavation through the career of Paul-Émile Botta, whose 1843–1844 work near Mosul and Khorsabad helped inaugurate Assyriology and introduced Europe to monumental Assyrian palace architecture, relief sculpture, and royal inscriptions. The episode follows Botta's unusual path into Near Eastern exploration, placing his expeditionary background within wider nineteenth-century networks of travel, collecting, and emerging archaeological method, and contrasts the French discoveries at Khorsabad with the subsequent British excavations associated with Austen Henry Layard at Kalhu and Nineveh.From this modern historiographical prelude, the episode turns back to 717 BCE and reconstructs Dur-Sharrukin as an ideological and administrative project of empire. It discusses the city's location, scale, labor regime, deportee settlement, and the programmatic symbolism of a purpose-built capital dedicated to the “true king.” Particular attention is given to the citadel complex—palace, temples, and ziggurat—alongside the logistical systems required to sustain rapid construction, long-distance procurement of materials, and the production of large-scale court art such as lamassu guardians and carved orthostats. The episode also engages changing archaeological interpretations of the site, including how later excavations and recent geophysical survey have revised older claims that the city was never fully completed or inhabited by demonstrating a substantial lower town and more complex occupational history.The final section addresses the political and religious implications of Sargon II's death in 705 BCE and the resulting abandonment of the city under Sennacherib, framing Dur-Sharrukin as a case study in the relationship between royal charisma, omen interpretation, and the volatility of capital cities in the Neo-Assyrian world. In doing so, the episode situates Dur-Sharrukin within broader Near Eastern patterns of state power, forced migration, monumental construction, and the archaeological afterlives of imperial projects.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

In episode 550 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers take a hard look at online ads and why they rarely deliver the wishlist conversions indie devs hope for. They break down misleading metrics, misclicks, and the high cost of chasing visibility through paid channels. The conversation also gets into conventions and showcases, exploring why in-person events are great for networking and playtesting but often fall short as direct sales drivers. It's a grounded look at where marketing effort actually pays off and where it evaporates into thin air.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:12 Introduction and Welcome02:48 The Role of YouTube Shorts in Game Promotion05:32 Understanding Steam's Algorithm and Wishlist Dynamics08:44 Challenges of Scaling Marketing Efforts11:27 Exploring YouTube Ads and Their Effectiveness14:31 Evaluating the Impact of Advertising on Game Visibility19:54 Navigating Google Ads for Game Promotion22:51 Analyzing Click-Through Rates and Conversions26:07 The Efficacy of YouTube Ads29:45 The Illusion of Effective Advertising34:47 The Uncertainty of Marketing Outcomes41:47 Evaluating Events and Conventions43:09 Digital Events and Showcases45:39 The Challenge of Exclusivity in Marketing49:09 Understanding Randomness in Game Promotion51:45 The Cost-Effectiveness of Marketing Approaches55:02 Balancing Development and Marketing EffortsTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness.

Hello one and all, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! This month, Josh and I (Colin) sit down to catch up on the Thanksgiving festivities and break down 2025 with a few larger topics of discussion. To start off, we dig into our YouTube 2025 recap and what it can tell us about the types of content and media we consume on arguably our most used "streaming" app. If you're like Josh and have three kids who also use your account, you'll end up with some goofy stuff such as Animal Farm Sounds. However, Josh and I realized pretty quickly that many of the metrics and channels being referenced in our wrap ups had to come from YouTube Shorts. So, scroll away folks and watch your recap numbers explode! From there, we dive into a few Patreon write ins that look to summarize how we felt about this year as a whole. Were there any games in recent memory that we started that we wish we didn't? If we were magically given a 30 hour time capsule, would we use that time to finish off games we already have progress in or would we opt to start and finish brand new things from our backlog? Will Colin (I) ever get into and play Arc Raiders? Probably not... We close up our main discussions with a look back at a topic from two months ago, which of the behemoth FPS games "won" 2025. Did Battlefield 6 capitalize enough on one of the weaker CoD entries in recent memory and capture the zeitgeist? Or, despite poor campaigns from both franchises, does the MP, Endgame, Warzone and Zombies package end up as still too high a value proposition to pass up? Josh and I go into great detail breaking down the stats that we can see in addition to giving our own thoughts on both games and their trophy hunts after nearly 50 hours in each of them. We wrap up this final episode of 2025 by talking about a few of the smaller games we've been playing including House of the Dead: Remake, and many more! Thank you all for listening, we'll be back in the first weekend of 2026 to chat about our PSN Year in Review and what we ended up playing over the Holidays. Happy Gaming, and take care!

In episode 549 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers dig into how short-form video fits into indie game marketing and why it should be part of development from the start.

Sargon II of Assyria faces a crisis of legitimacy after a humiliating defeat, but transforms potential disaster into triumph through military genius and calculated brutality. This episode chronicles his desperate 720 BCE campaign from Mesopotamia to the Levant, where he perfects combined arms warfare and decimates Samaria so thoroughly that ten tribes of Israel vanish from history.Following his controversial rise to power, Sargon must prove divine favor through victory or lose everything. Watch as he masters siege warfare with unprecedented tactical sophistication, deploying battering rams under coordinated covering fire to crack fortress walls that stymied his predecessors. His lightning campaign against Yahu-Bihdi's coalition demonstrates the Assyrian war machine at peak efficiency—mass deportations, public flayings, and systematic urban destruction become instruments of imperial control.The episode explores Sargon's subsequent campaigns along Assyria's contested frontiers, from the fragmenting Mannean kingdom in the Zagros Mountains to rebellious Tabal under Phrygian influence. Detailed correspondence reveals the mechanics of ancient border warfare, including an elaborate ruse involving fake fortress construction to ambush Urartian raiders. We examine how Sargon manipulates succession crises, deploys intelligence networks, and uses overwhelming force—sometimes fielding armies larger than entire city populations—to maintain imperial dominance against Urartu, Phrygia, and internal dissent.The narrative culminates with the mysterious fall of Carchemish, the last Neo-Hittite vassal, whose wealth funds Sargon's most ambitious project yet: a new capital city that will bear both his glory and an ominous curse.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Brands can use these insights to guide AI enabled Market Research, messaging, and product development.The conversation highlights how Sora, HeyGen, and agentic AI tools reduce complex tasks from hours to minutes. We also break down the importance of structured processes, documentation, and data readiness. AI needs context to deliver results.

Listen all the way to the end for a special musical feature about Sargon II. This episode explores one of the most pivotal and least understood turning points in Neo-Assyrian history, examining the rise of a king whose origins, motives, and very name remain contested even after a century of scholarship. These are the Oldest Stories, available at OldestStories.net.In 722 BCE, Sargon II seized the Assyrian throne and entered an eighteen-year reign that forms the best-documented era of ancient Mesopotamian history. Yet for all his inscriptions and annals, Sargon himself remains an enigma. His parentage, early career, accession, and the meaning of his throne name are questions that continue to challenge scholars of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. This episode delves deeply into the theories surrounding his origins, including newly translated inscriptions from Assur, shifting interpretations of his name from Sharru-Kenu to Sharru-Ukin, and the implications of his apparent disinterest in his own ancestry. From the ideological weight of throne names to the complexities of logosyllabic Akkadian spelling, we explore how philology, archaeology, and political history intersect to shape our understanding of this king.We also follow Sargon into the disastrous opening months of his reign: the unclear succession, the purge of thousands of internal opponents, the immediate loss of Babylon to Marduk-Apla-Iddina, the Levantine revolts, and the devastating defeat near Der at the hands of the Elamites. These events set the stage for a king on the brink of failure, navigating accusations of ill-omen, political chaos, and the danger of being overthrown before his first year had even ended. Yet they also reveal the moment in which Sargon's extraordinary administrative and logistical genius emerges, allowing him to rescue his reign and initiate the Sargonid Golden Age.Along the way, the episode examines the broader historical context of Chaldean and Elamite politics, Babylonian ritual ideology, the transformation of Assyrian year-dating from limmu officials to palu counts, and the evolving religious presentation of Assur's kingship. It traces the subtle theological and political shifts that distinguish Sargon from his predecessors, as well as the early strategic failures and last-minute decisions that determine the fate of the empire. The result is a comprehensive look at one of the most complex figures of the ancient Near East and the precarious moment at which Assyria's future hung in the balance.If you enjoy the episode, consider supporting the show on Patreon, becoming a YouTube member, or donating directly at OldestStories.net.

In today's episode of Mike Dell's World, Mike reflects on the hectic pace of life, the whirlwind of Zoom meetings, and the importance of being intentional about slowing down. After a long, stressful year marked by personal challenges and the loss of Blubrry's founder, Mike shares how he's planning to reclaim some peace and quiet this winter. He talks about waking up too early, back-to-back Zoom calls, and the extra layer of chaos that comes when major services like Cloudflare go down. But mixed into all that is a message: it's okay to pause, to set boundaries, and to purposely not be busy. This winter, Mike plans to simplify things—like leaving the tractor at his mom's place for driveway clearing, taking snowshoe walks, heating with wood by the fireplace, and carving out real downtime to read, relax, or just get bored on purpose. He also talks about how constant digital distractions make it hard to truly unwind—like instinctively grabbing the phone for YouTube Shorts the moment a show is paused. Maybe boredom isn't such a bad thing. Mike wraps up by teasing tomorrow's episode on winter driving—something that pairs perfectly with the theme of slowing down. Episode Highlights A day of nonstop Zoom calls and early wake-ups Reflecting on a stressful year and big life changes Losing Blubrry founder Todd Cochrane and navigating the transition Handling winter chores differently this year The value of intentional downtime and not over-committing Heating with wood and embracing cozy winter days Tech dependence, boredom, and the lure of YouTube Shorts Cloudflare outages and customer anxiety A preview of tomorrow's topic: winter driving

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the last several days Justin Timberlake has closed an epic chapter and faced a deeply personal battle. He ended his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour with a final show in Istanbul on July 30 capping off a sprawling run that at times drew both acclaim and controversy. Just days later Timberlake stunned fans by revealing on Instagram that he has been battling Lyme disease—a diagnosis he called “relentlessly debilitating both mentally and physically.” He explained that this struggle gave him clarity about the pain and fatigue he felt onstage but ultimately he chose not to cancel the tour finding strength in the joy performing brings. Timberlake even posted a lighthearted photo at home after the tour flashing a cheeky smile in a sweatshirt that read “I'm not doing s star today mission accomplished” capturing both relief and resilience. His NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick publicly praised his strength saying Timberlake's grit and determination through illness was “superhero status” according to AOL Entertainment.His tour finale was not without criticism. Social media buzzed after viral clips showed Timberlake letting crowds sing entire choruses with some on X questioning his energy and vocals others defending it as a universal move for big acts and a way to engage fans. Debate intensified as rumors swirled that tension has grown between Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel especially after her Emmy campaign for The Better Sister ended without a nomination and he was notably absent. Star Magazine sources speculated their marriage may be at a crossroads and close friends are concerned about their future but these remain unconfirmed.On the business front Timberlake keeps forging ahead. Austin Business Journal reports he is teaming up again with restaurateur Sam Fox to expand The Twelve Thirty Club to a new Austin location reinforcing his standing as a serious entrepreneur outside music. There is also fresh focus on his legacy with Recognition Music Group's ongoing restructuring following the sale of Hipgnosis's US music publishing arm to Sony in June and his own song catalog—sold to Hipgnosis in 2022—now grouped under this mega music rights entity as chronicled on the Wikipedia entry for Recognition Music Group.Career-wise Timberlake is reportedly eager to reignite his acting prospects. Reality Tea cites sources saying he's reaching out to past collaborators like David Fincher and Mila Kunis hoping for a Hollywood comeback after years without a blockbuster hit. Insiders say he's determined to land a major studio vehicle rather than rebuilding with indie or supporting roles.Social media remains lively with fresh clips surfacing across platforms—recent YouTube Shorts featured both his collaborations with Madonna and 50 Cent revisiting past chart-toppers when fans celebrated his career highs. All told Timberlake's last few days have been a potent mix of professional closure personal vulnerability and hints at a new chapter on stage screen and in business.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
In 727 BCE, the death of Tiglath-Pileser III—one of Assyria's greatest reformers and conquerors—brought to the throne his son Ululayu, known to history by his regnal name Shalmaneser V. This episode of Oldest Stories examines the short, poorly documented, yet pivotal reign of Shalmaneser the Least, exploring the troubled transition between the age of Tiglath-Pileser's reform and the rise of Sargon II. Drawing on fragmentary Assyrian records, biblical sources, and archaeological evidence, the episode reconstructs the domestic policies, fiscal reforms, and failed campaigns that defined his rule.Listeners will learn how Shalmaneser attempted to standardize taxation and weights across the empire—introducing the controversial “Mina of the King”—and how these bureaucratic experiments may have destabilized the nobility and provoked internal dissent. His reign also saw major events in the wider Near East: the rebellion of King Hoshea of Israel, the long siege of Samaria described in the Book of Kings, and the abortive Assyrian assault on Tyre. Despite ruling over the largest empire yet known, Shalmaneser's administrative mediocrity and ill-fated reforms undermined Assyria's stability, paving the way for Sargon's coup and the beginning of the Sargonid dynasty.This episode situates Shalmaneser V within the broader arc of Neo-Assyrian history, from the administrative innovations of Tiglath-Pileser III to the ideological and military transformations of Sargon II. It explores key themes in ancient Near Eastern politics, including royal succession, imperial bureaucracy, taxation, and the interaction between Assyria and Israel. Ideal for students of Assyriology, biblical studies, and ancient history, “Shalmaneser the Least” offers a detailed look at one of the empire's most obscure yet consequential rulers.Keywords: Shalmaneser V, Tiglath-Pileser III, Neo-Assyrian Empire, Assyria, Babylon, Sargon II, Samaria, Hoshea, Israel, Tyre, Assyrian kings, Near Eastern history, biblical archaeology, Assyrian reforms, ancient Mesopotamia.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Today's episode is a compilation of some of my best advice when it comes to selling. The number one asset for any business, entrepreneur, or personal brand is attention. Whatever you are trying to do, whether it is selling a product, offering a service, or spreading a message, it can not be done without getting the attention of the audience.The great thing about the internet is that now attention is more widely available and requires less money to access than ever. This is why social media, especially YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn and TikTok, are super important platforms for you to be on. The organic reach on those platforms is so high, that it really comes down to how good your creative is.Start thinking of platforms like TV channels and put your "ads" on the popular shows that everyone is watching. It does not matter if the "show" is less popular next season, just strike when it is hot.

#893 I used to doubt the value of short-form content for serious brand building, but I was way off. Diving in and giving it a real chance has completely changed my mind! In this episode, I'll share an awesome update on Short Pocket Monster. This is the experimental Shorts channel I started in the Pokémon space to see if this format was worth it for entrepreneurs. Millions of subscribers and hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue later, short-form content has been an incredible boost to my business! I'll break down my exact process to help you follow in my footsteps without all the trial and error. From building a series that keeps people coming back to repurposing videos across multiple platforms, I'll share all the strategies that worked. My editing time is down to twelve minutes per video, so you don't have to put in long hours for this to take off. Enjoy!
