  • Filming, cutting and captioning is mechanical. The only part that needs you is judgement: keep or skip.
  • Short-form is a volume game. The recommendation model needs dozens of posts before it knows who to show you to.
  • So move yourself to the swipe, and let code do the rest.

Start smaller than you think. Paste the URL. Keep two drafts. Schedule both. Next week, look at one number: which post sent people to your product. Keep two more like it.
