Не хотелось снимать длинные ролики, и этот курс показал, что канал реально вырастить на одних Shorts. Особенно зашёл разбор короткого сторителлинга — мои видео стали досматривать чаще. Хотелось бы чуть больше примеров удачных сценариев, но в целом очень полезно.

मुझे लंबे वीडियो बनाना बिल्कुल नहीं भाता था, इसलिए सिर्फ़ Shorts से चैनल बढ़ाने का यह तरीका मेरे लिए एकदम सही रहा। छोटे फ़ॉर्मेट में कहानी कैसे कहें, यह बात बहुत अच्छे से समझाई गई है और मेरे रील्स की पकड़ अब पहले से बेहतर है। धीरे-धीरे मेरे सब्सक्राइबर भी बढ़ने लगे हैं क्योंकि लोग पूरा वीडियो देखते हैं। बस एडिटिंग पर थोड़ा और होता तो और मज़ा आता। फिर भी जो लोग लंबे वीडियो से बचना चाहते हैं, उनके लिए यह कोर्स बढ़िया है।

Nur mit Shorts ein echtes Publikum aufzubauen funktioniert wirklich, das Storytelling-Kapitel war klasse.
