Cut Your Intro: Short Form Content Tips | (Top 5 Rebroadcast)

We used to actually watch a string of 30-second commercials for Downy and Doritos waiting for Seinfeld to come back on. Today is not the age of television, or patience, but the age of ultimate optionality. This is the age of TikTok and you need to keep these tips in mind when creating short form content. Create for people, not algorithms. The algos are getting smart enough that you can stop doing everything to appease them. What appeases the user naturally becomes what appeases the algorithm for any company that is or will be successful in the attention economy.

Out for 2024:

Slow talking and self-serving intros or teasers about what you're about to share (just SHARE IT!)

Making people wait

Making people click somewhere else (zero click content is in)

Making people fill out forms

Gated content
