Episode notes
Shorts Don’t Directly Sell
- Reels and shorts rarely drive direct sales or meaningful comment engagement.
- Their primary measurable return is follower growth and improved brand awareness over time.
Comments Are Hard On Reels
- Calls to action asking for comments rarely work on reels because viewers scroll quickly.
- Watch time and retention percentage are the key engagement metrics for short videos.
Be Consistent For Baseline Reach
- Keep publishing consistent because follower growth builds a dependable baseline for views.
- Use short-form content to create top-of-mind awareness even if sales are indirect and hard to measure.
