We recommend
- Get started with whatever you have. If you have a phone and something you want to talk about, there’s no limit to what you can create.
- Consider universal appeal. If you’re stuck in a creative block, remember you can reach a broad audience by considering common topics anyone can relate to.
- Don’t forget to engage. Something as simple as asking your viewers, “If you liked the Short, give it a like and comment,” can do wonders!
- Look up other formats like Video and Live to see if these match your interests.
