How do you estimate the ROI for a client of repurposing their long-form video content into short reels to increase views and followers on their inactive social media profile? Is there a standard formula?

There is no standard formula to do this effectively. What you would do is probably offer them a minimum view guarantee. A lot of people do big offers like this saying, "I will guarantee 1 million views in a certain amount of time or we'll keep working for free until we achieve that." The way they do that is typically by clipping and then distributing to a wide network on a variety of different accounts, such that it only really takes a few of those things to go viral — if the person is okay at creating content and they get to recreate them as many times as possible to make that happen. That's a very common offer in the growth space right now for inbound for brands, and you can do it yourself. It's very straightforward. You're just going to have to create some accounts, do some juggling, and have pretty good clipping, but just change the colors on the clipping, change the designs and effects and stuff like that. You'll be okay. You can trade time plus a Claude Code sub to do that for you nowadays — you don't even need money.

Alphabet says to So, to give you a little bit of context, I have grown a Tik Tok to 266K followers and 300 mil views in 2 years. But I did it faceless with AI voice. The videos I make are highly edited faceless videos, which take 6 to 8 hours to make. But posting almost every day. And in doing so, I've developed a test of how short form content works. thing is since I use AI voice and faces, my RPMs, revenue per mill, which is the amount of money that you make from let's say ad platforms by posting on social media are super super low. Like in the month of June, I got close to 10 mill views and got like a 1k payout. Wow, that blows. So my question is what to do next? I could charge and teach people how to make faceless content in the process of making my content better and break it down hundreds of short form videos and I have kind of a good grasp on many niches. So I also show people how to do and monetize that or I can start posting myself and within like 6 to 3 months believe I can grow at 100K with lifestyle content but with this I have no clue of monetization. Yeah, fitness opinions and philosophy. These are all pretty unmonetizable inherently. Um still could you apply it to anything that's more of like a monetizable niche with higher RPMs? I don't know.

You clearly have an extremely valuable set of skills; your question is how to take this valuable set of skills to market. Very few people can get 300 million views in two years—you could genuinely change the course of the global economy with this skill, and millions of politicians would be interested in achieving 300 million views in two years organically on a super broke budget. So this sounds pretty good. The thing is you need distribution to begin with; you could show your current audience how to do that. That’s reasonable. But you should also leverage the systems you already have that enable you to do it—this is just your bottleneck. Six to eight hours to make a video is tough; you could bring that down to three or four hours, allowing you to make two videos for two approaches. In six months you’d have a solid base to sell—maybe a fitness channel program or something similar. That’s probably what I’d do.

Is it effective to promote a web SaaS by creating YouTube content around the product niche and introducing the SaaS at the end of the video?

Long‑form content converts better, so the approach works. It’s really about trading time for money: calculate whether the revenue from the video exceeds the time you invested (e.g., using a $100/hour rate). You can also trade money for time via PPC, partnerships, or influencer deals. For maintenance, avoid selling it as a separate line item; instead, bundle it into a retainer as a ‘peace of mind’ offering that includes updates, availability, and strategy calls. Ultimately, it’s better to sell growth rather than just maintenance.

I run a marketing agency and just signed my first client, a fitness/wellness business with just over 1K Instagram followers. How can I grow their page as fast as you've grown your new page (nearly 20K followers in under a month)? Any advice on content structure, automations for posting Reels, or general tips?

Hard to say without knowing the specifics of the account. On content structure: I work with an editor and keep the scripts very simple — just a hook. Our niche (AI news) is already extraordinarily in-demand, so we get some fascination for free, but the actual hook itself doesn't have to be clever — something like 'there's a new free AI video generator you can run locally' works fine. In the first month, the priority is just getting up and running and hitting your first ~30 posts; you optimize after that. Structurally: a simple zoomed-in hook line, deliver it, then cut to whatever visual is attention-grabbing — in our case, jumping straight into the specific software platform being shown.

I have a Facebook page with 40k followers and a TikTok with 54K, posting faceless movie edits that get 4-5M views monthly. I want to monetize via a mailing list and community, but I'm considering personal development teaching—different from the channel's niche. What offer should I make to the audience, or should I start a separate channel and move the audience there?

That's impressive—54K TikTok followers and 4–5M monthly views. Ad revenue at that level is likely a few thousand dollars per month, similar to what you'd get from 200K views on other platforms. To monetize, stay adjacent to your movie-editing niche: offer services or products that complement it, like teaching how to edit like you do, selling editing services, or creating a community around high-quality edits. Avoid unrelated offers like personal development, which would feel off‑brand. Instead, leverage the quality of your edits as the differentiator—give email subscribers or community members exclusive editing tutorials, tips, or access to your process. You could also highlight that the channel is AI‑driven, but be cautious as that might affect viewer perception. In short, sell what’s closely related to movie editing, not something completely different.
