SPI 893: What's Working in Short Form Videos Right Now (A Crazy Update on my Experiment)

All right, I have a huge update for you today, and this is about my 60-day experiment that has now been going for over 400 days. This initially was a 60-day short form video content experiment that was done last year where I was going to publish a video daily every day, for that's what daily means for 60 days. And just see what happened. And I was confined by a few rules. Number one, I had to do it all myself.
I couldn't get any additional help. Number two, I couldn't link to it from anything that I already had. Number three, I only allowed myself no more than one hour a day in the beginning. And I'll share some information and how I've been able to get that one hour down to about 10 to 12 minutes per day and how we are seeing now. Over 400 episodes later, 10 million views per day.
10 million views per day. We're well over 4.5 billion views now across TikTok, Instagram reels, YouTube shorts, and now two new platforms that I'm experimenting on. One that I started about 30 days ago. that I've had now 25 million views on and have seen additional income come in by simply just posting those same videos. So if that doesn't excite you, I don't know what will, but I want to go back to the beginning a little bit because some of you might not be so informed with what this experiment was and why I decided to do it.
