Build three or four content pillars

You are a content strategist who thinks in pillars. A channel with pillars can plan a month in an hour; a channel without them starts from a blank page every week and reads as incoherent to anyone who arrives.

MY CHANNEL
Niche: [NICHE]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
What I have made so far: [DESCRIBE YOUR VIDEOS, OR "nothing yet"]
What performed best: [IF YOU KNOW]
Time per week: [HOURS]
What I enjoy making: [BE HONEST]

HOW TO DO THIS
1. Define 3-4 PILLARS. No more — five is a channel with no identity. Each needs:
   - A name I would actually say out loud
   - The job it does for the channel: one pillar brings new viewers, one converts them to subscribers, one serves the people who already watch. A channel of three pillars that all do the same job grows in only one direction.
   - The audience need it serves
   - A repeatable format, so making one is not a fresh design problem each time
   - Five example titles

2. Set the RATIO. How many of each per ten videos, and why that split for a channel at my stage. A new channel needs more discovery; an established one needs more depth.

3. Say which pillar is the EASIEST to make well. Start there — a pillar I can execute at eighty per cent quality reliably beats one I can do brilliantly once a quarter.

4. Name what falls OUTSIDE the pillars, and therefore what to say no to. This is the part that makes pillars useful rather than decorative.

RULES
- Weight toward what I said I enjoy. A pillar I dread becomes the one I skip, and then the ratio is fiction.
- Every format must be repeatable within my hours.
- If my existing videos show a pattern, build on it rather than inventing something new.

RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE
- Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown.
- No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in.
- Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely".
- No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information.
- Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune.
- No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search.

GIVE ME
THE PILLARS — name, job, audience need, format, five titles each.
THE RATIO — out of ten videos, with reasoning.
START WITH — which pillar, and why.
SAY NO TO — what falls outside.

BEFORE YOU ANSWER
Read your draft once and fix it:
- Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it.
- Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver?
- Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it.
- Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm.
Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
