Short-form is great for growth, but long-form is where the real community (and money) is built.
The Hybrid Model
Create 10 shorts that act as "trailers" for one 10-minute long-form video. This cross-pollination is the most efficient growth strategy.
Scripting for Length
A 10-minute video needs multiple "mini-climaxes" every 2 minutes to keep the viewer from clicking away.
Deep Research
Use AI to summarize multiple sources of information to create a truly comprehensive documentary.
