If you're over making Instagram Reels that barely reach your audience, this episode is your permission slip to shift gears.

I'm joined by SEO strategist and YouTube queen Mariah Magazine for a candid convo on why long-form content is having a well-deserved comeback—and how it can actually work for your business. We dig into her YouTube growth strategy, monetization, and how long-form content plays a bigger role in building authority (especially with AI).

Whether you're feeling stuck in the social media churn or just tired of content that disappears in 24 hours, this episode will shift how you think about content entirely.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:

• Why long-form content is the real trust builder
• How Mariah monetizes tutorials and still books consulting clients
• What "brand authority" means in the age of AI
• The role SEO plays in getting found across platforms
• How to simplify your content ecosystem without burning out

…And More!
