Content pillar — A core recurring theme or format your channel returns to again and again.

Content pillars are the few recurring themes or formats a channel is built on — for example a finance channel's pillars might be “explainers”, “news recaps” and “case studies”. They give your output structure and your audience a reason to return.

Faceless creators use pillars to plan and batch: each pillar is a template you can fill repeatedly without reinventing the format.
