I use short-form four ways:

1. share a tidbit or tip

2. To give attention to a shortform piece I may have written months ago. I do this for long form pieces that underperformed or was written when I only had about 100 followers.

3. To guide folks through a series I've written.

4. Poetry

My shortform performs well for me. They are great to sprinkle in here or there. Maybe I wrote a 3 minute piece and then a short form later that day. That's how I keep my read time up.
