10-20 hr including productionImpact: criticalEffort: high

A "pillar video" — your genuine definitive piece — is the single most comprehensive, authoritative video on your core topic, the anchor for your channel's real topical authority.

A genuinely comprehensive pillar video becomes your real most-referenced, most-recommended content, anchoring your channel's core expertise.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Choose your genuinely most central topic
    The real core subject most important to your channel.
  2. 2
    Produce with genuinely exceptional depth and quality
    More comprehensive and polished than your typical content.
  3. 3
    Reference and link to it from other real content
    Establishing it as your genuine anchor piece.
