Short-form video courses

You don't have a content problem.
You have a system problem.

Top Marketing is a catalogue of short courses on how short-form video actually works — how openings hold attention, what each platform rewards, and how to build a publishing process you can sustain for a year instead of three weeks. Buy one, or buy the set.

Approach

Four things the course is built around

Openings

Retention collapses in the first two seconds or it doesn't. We break down why specific openings hold and others don't, and give you a working library of structures to adapt rather than templates to copy.

Platform mechanics

TikTok, Shorts and Reels reward different signals. You'll learn what each one measures, how to read your own analytics, and which numbers are worth acting on versus safe to ignore.

Production process

A repeatable route from idea to published video. Most creators quit because each post costs them a full day — the goal here is to get that down to something you can do on a Tuesday evening.

Automation

Where software can genuinely take work off your hands — captioning, formatting, scheduling, cross-posting — and, just as importantly, where automating produces worse results than doing it yourself.

Automation

One source file, four destinations

The workflow covered in module four. It won't write anything worth watching for you — it removes the repetitive work around the part that matters.

  1. Research

    A weekly pass over what's performing in your subject area, collected into one list instead of scattered across saved posts.

  2. Scripting

    A structure for drafting so the opening is decided deliberately rather than discovered in the edit.

  3. Production

    Captions, aspect ratios, safe zones and exports handled by tooling instead of by hand for each platform.

  4. Publishing

    Scheduled uploads to each platform with the captions and formats they each expect.

How it's sold

Pay for the gap you actually have

Most course sellers bundle forty hours together and charge you for the thirty-five you didn't need. If your openings are fine and your editing is slow, buy the editing course. Nothing else.

Start at €45

The entry price is one course, not one programme. You find out whether the material is any good before you commit real money to it.

Add when you hit the wall

Buy the next course when a specific thing stops working — not in advance, on the assumption you'll eventually get to it. Most people never do.

Or take the set

If you already know you want everything, the full bundle is €500 against €2,457 bought separately. That's the entire catalogue for the price of three individual courses.

Nothing expires

No subscription, no seat that lapses, no upsell inside the course. You buy a thing, you own the thing, and updates to it are included.

Fit

Worth being honest about

This works for some people and wastes money for others. Read the right-hand column before you buy anything.

Buy this if

  • You're posting already and the numbers aren't moving
  • You can commit three to five hours a week for six months
  • You want to know why something worked, not just copy it
  • You have a subject you could talk about for a hundred videos
  • You'd rather fix one specific weakness than restart from scratch

Don't buy this if

  • You want a guaranteed number of followers by a certain date
  • You're looking for a growth hack rather than a working process
  • You won't publish consistently — no course survives that
  • You expect automation to produce content worth watching on its own
  • You haven't decided what you're actually going to post about

FAQ

Questions

Do I need an audience already?

No. The course assumes you're starting from zero, and the first module deals with exactly that situation.

How much time does this take each week?

Plan for three to five hours a week once the process is set up. Less than that and the frequency won't hold; much more than that and most people stop after a month.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. The faceless add-on covers formats that don't require your face or voice, though it's fair to say on-camera formats are usually easier to make distinctive.

How long do I have access?

Indefinitely. Once a course is yours it stays yours, and any updates we make to it arrive at no extra cost.

What payment methods are accepted?

Card, PayPal, and SEPA direct debit. Instalments are available on the bundles.

Can I buy a bundle later if I already own a course?

Yes. Email us with what you already have and we'll deduct it from the bundle price.

Will this guarantee me views?

No, and be sceptical of anyone who says otherwise. What it gives you is a method and a way to diagnose what's going wrong. The output still depends on your subject, your consistency and your judgement.

Buy one course, or take a bundle if you already know you want the whole thing.
