EP 207 - How to Run a Drama Free Short Form Video Content Experiment

In my final episode of the "Fall in Love with Short Form Video" series, I'm sharing exactly how to experiment with short form content strategically. You don't have to spend a bunch of energy on video content and just randomly hope something sticks.

Most experiments fail miserably because people aren't actually experiementing at all, they're just being inconsistent. They change everything at once. Scrapping the format, topic, hook, editing every time gives you absolutely no data to learn from. There's no baseline, no timeline, and no clear understanding of what you can actually control.

The Framework I Use:

1. Define Your Experiment Window

   • Choose a timeline: 14 days for quick signal testing, 30 days for pattern clarity
   • I recommend 30 days with at least 10 videos—enough data to truly understand what's working

2. Only Change 1-2 Variables

   • This is the core principle: if you change everything, you learn nothing
   • I break down three types of variables you can test:
     • Format-based: length, style (talking head vs. voiceover), platform format
     • Topic-based: category focus, audience angle, stage of awareness
     • Message-based: hooks, story structure, script flow

3. What I Typically Experiment With:

   • Hook type (this is my go-to)
   • Category focus or audience angle
   • Story structure and pacing

Your Next Steps:

1. Record a reintroduction video to pin to your profile
2. Complete a 5-video series in one week (goal: just finish it, no pressure on metrics)
3. Choose ONE experiment for the next 30 days with a clear, measurable goal

The truth is, no one is watching as closely as you think. They're not auditing your strategy or tracking your experiment. You're the only one who knows this is an experiment. And "failing" content is still data that teaches you something.

I used this exact process to gain 1,000 followers on TikTok in 30 days with multiple videos hitting 400,000+ views. It works when you commit to the process.
