What comes first for creators

Everyone gets all 28 modules. What differs is the order — and what the assessment lets you skip. For creators, the path leads with these:

  1. 01
    Short-Form Video

    Scripting, shooting and editing TikToks, Reels and Shorts — plus the retention curves that decide reach.

  2. 02
    YouTube & Long-Form Video

    Titles, thumbnails, packaging and watch time — how long-form works, and when it beats short-form.

  3. 03
    How Algorithms Actually Work

    Ranking signals per platform — documented, not mythology — and what that means for your content.

  4. 04
    Influencer & Creator Partnerships

    Sourcing, vetting, rates, contracts, briefs and Spark Ads — partnerships that are worth the money.

  5. 05
    Social Commerce

    TikTok Shop, Instagram Shopping, live shopping and affiliate features — selling where people scroll.

  6. 06
    Personal Branding & Thought Leadership

    LinkedIn and X founder brands, employee advocacy, and building an audience that opens doors.
