Why short form videos?

Now, short form content delivers that and that leads to higher retention rates and increased interaction. But it gets even more exciting. Short form videos have the super power of extending your reach beyond your current followers.

See how I already have 37 subscribers on my YouTube account?

Now, how did it happen that I have more than 2000 views on this short video that I created? Why? Because these social platforms are more likely to recommend your short videos to users who haven’t followed you yet.
