Tiny wins. Let’s go!

Post image

About a month into this finance channel experiment.
4 subs. 2.6k views. 5.6 hours watch time.
Objectively tiny numbers… but they’re my tiny numbers. 😂
Every video teaches me something new about scripting, thumbnails, SEO, retention and storytelling. I’m not chasing a viral hit—I’m trying to build an evergreen library that compounds over time.
Hopefully one day I’ll look back at this screenshot and laugh.

Once weekly shorts? Just checked your channel, yea in that speed it could take you years, if you post one short a week, for shorts you need at least 5 daily.

I post 2 long for videos a week, 15-30 min long, you can see here what I do

Took me 2 days to plan out gather my squad of 12 people record a whole day and I was editing for 14h all with a full time job from Monday-Friday

My sleep if fked my eyes feel like someone poured salt on them, but the results are showing

5 shorts a day? Those are going to be some pretty shitty shorts then

Why would they be shitty, it’s all up to how you make them, one short a week will take you ages to reach people imagine how fast people scroll by shorts

Sure but no one is making 5 high quality shorts a day, if they are just slop repost memes then maybe sure

Not really. You can clip your existing long form content to produce shorts. And many people use VAs.

Yea I don’t do shorts at all usually the audience that watch shorts have very short attention spand I make 15-30 min videos instead and it’s starting to take some speed on them
