Unlocking the Power of Long-Form Content for Over Explainers

I talk directly to the over explainers—those who struggle with condensing their messages in short-form content such as reels, stories, or posts. I share my approach to leveraging long-form content like blogs, podcasts, or detailed social media posts to provide comprehensive information. By creating one piece of in-depth content, you can slice it into smaller segments for your audience, making it easier to manage and more engaging. I provide examples from my own experiences, such as discussing beef liver or the trying to conceive journey. Learn how to balance your stories, keep your audience engaged, and avoid over-explaining by using long-form content effectively.
