After a couple of weeks of testing, I’ve established pretty conclusively that short videos perform around 2 – 3x better than photos in terms of engagement. I’ve got to work out if there’s a way to use that effectively to draw more people here to our community.
For the longer form videos (multiple clips, some sort of theme etc.), I will use a video by/of you. For the short clips I use on X, male nudity doesn’t sell.
To be honest, it’s borderline impossible to balance the theme of this site with what is popular on social media. I’m sure I can do more with the narrated video format too, but I haven’t had time to script anything.
I’ve tried focusing more on realistic people/bodies for my videos but they often don’t perform as well as slim 18-25 years olds with pretty faces. Also, it’s difficult to generate realistic characters as there’s a huge bias towards the photogenic.
