Multi-Part Series Structure

Series structure: 3-10 parts, each standalone but interconnected. Episode 1 must hook for the whole series.

Series structure

1. Episode 1: Hook for series, set up question/problem
2. Episodes 2-N: Develop topic, layer concepts
3. Final episode: Resolution, climax, satisfying ending

Each episode:

• 30 sec - 15 min depending on platform
• Standalone (can be watched alone)
• Cliffhanger or 'continued next episode'
• Pinned playlist link in description
