Tried short-form video for the first time after resisting for years
I used to do all my client marketing with just blog posts and email newsletters. Last month I finally caved and filmed a 30 second reel about a landscaping business I work with. It got 3,000 views in the first 2 days. That would have taken me weeks to get from a blog post. My old schedule of 2 posts a month just doesn't cut it anymore. Has anyone else switched from written content to video and seen a big jump in engagement?

Oh come on, you're celebrating 3,000 views like that's some kind of win. A well-written blog post with the right SEO brings in traffic for months, maybe years, and actually builds authority. Those reel views are gone in a day, and half of them were probably people scrolling past without even registering your message. Plus now you've trained your audience to expect quick, shallow content instead of something with real substance. Feels like you traded long-term value for a short dopamine hit.
