In recent years, short-form videos have become remarkably popular, a trend driven by the widespread use of smartphones and the increasing prevalence of social media. This study investigates the strategies employed by lifestyle-focused short-form video creators on Instagram to determine how they assess the popularity of their content and adapt their content strategies accordingly. The aim is to provide a framework for emerging creators looking to navigate the competitive arena of social media. The methodology of this study is rooted in qualitative research, including observational techniques and in-depth interviews. Interviews with five notable Instagram content creators were conducted to gain insight into the specific metrics they monitor to assess their work's popularity, as well as the corresponding content strategies developed in response to these metrics. The study's results indicate that creators place significant value on metrics such as view counts, the proportion of non-follower engagement, and share count. Algorithm-driven metrics, such as average watch time and save count, are also taken into consideration. Content-wise, successful videos often feature a blend of uniqueness, resonance, and educational value to capture and maintain viewer interest. In an age of fragmented attention spans, creators particularly emphasize that short-form video content should be clear and easy to understand, with a compact rhythm, in order to attract and maintain the audience's attention. Additionally, creators emphasize the establishment of a unique and recognizable brand identity, along with consistent content, to enhance the overall appeal of their social media presence.
