Short-form video

TikTok

The only platform where a brand-new account can reach millions before it has a single follower. TikTok distributes content based entirely on performance signals—not your following, not how long you've been there.

Long-form video

YouTube

The world's second-largest search engine. YouTube content compounds over years—not days. A video you publish today can drive traffic and revenue for a decade.

Instagram

The platform that built the creator economy. Instagram has evolved from a photo app into a multi-format discovery engine—Reels, Stories, carousels, and DMs all play different roles.

LinkedIn

The platform where B2B deals get made. LinkedIn has 950M professionals—and compared to every other platform, it has the least competition for attention from real decision-makers.

X (Twitter)

Where ideas get pressure-tested in public. X is the fastest-moving conversation on the internet—and the only platform where a single post from the right person can change what an entire industry is talking about.

Facebook

The world's largest social network is not dead—it's just different. Facebook has evolved into the dominant platform for communities, local businesses, and reaching the 35+ audience that other platforms underserve.

Pinterest

The search engine disguised as a social network. Pinterest users aren't browsing for entertainment—they're actively planning purchases. 40% earn over $75K/year and they're in buying mode.

Threads

Meta's text-first conversation platform has surpassed X in mobile daily active users. It's early, less toxic than X, and the algorithm is still showing content to non-followers—which means the organic reach window is wide open.

Reddit

The internet's town square—and the most anti-marketing marketing platform that exists. Reddit rewards genuine expertise and community contribution above everything else. Get it right and you earn trust that no ad can buy.

Substack
