The Shorts-to-long pinned-comment funnel, with real conversion

Word is a cooking channel cracked the Shorts crossover problem most people fail. On every Short, they pinned a comment linking the full long-form recipe, plus a verbal 'full version on the channel' at the 8-second mark.

The data a contact shared, Shorts pulled 2.1M views in a month, and the linked long-forms picked up about 31K of that as click-through, roughly 1.5%. Low, but those viewers watched 4x longer than browse traffic.

The real win, subscriber conversion from those funnel viewers ran 6%, triple their Shorts-only rate.

For your channel, Shorts views are worthless unless one in a hundred crosses over. confidence: medium.
