# Verticals & Generation Types

When you set up your student workspace you pick one or more **verticals** - the kind of content you actually want to make. Each vertical you choose unlocks a curated set of Content Forge modes tuned for it (and, for Video & Podcast, a set of preset packs inside Video Forge). Pick several and you get the combined set, so nothing overlaps or repeats.

### The six verticals

| Vertical                                                                             | Who it's for                                                                         | Modes        | Where it runs |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------ | ------------- |
| [**Student Creator**](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/creator.md)           | Building a personal brand on TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, or LinkedIn              | 6            | Content Forge |
| [**Career & Internships**](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/career.md)       | Landing internships, building a professional presence, growing your network          | 5            | Content Forge |
| [**Clubs & Campus Events**](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/clubs.md)       | Promoting events, recruiting members, and running campaigns for clubs and Greek life | 6            | Content Forge |
| [**Student Entrepreneur**](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/entrepreneur.md) | Launching a brand, side hustle, or startup with founder-grade content                | 6            | Content Forge |
| [**Athlete / NIL**](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/athlete.md)             | Bio, game day, training, NIL-safe sponsor content, and personal positioning          | 5            | Content Forge |
| [**Video & Podcast**](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/video-podcast.md)     | Episode promotion, clip hooks, descriptions, and repurposing                         | Preset packs | Video Forge   |

You can change your verticals later. Adding one simply makes its modes appear the next time you open Content Forge; removing one hides them again.

### How credit costs work

Everything you generate is metered in **credits**, and each mode has a fixed credit price based on how much it produces. A single post, caption, bio rewrite, LinkedIn post, or networking DM costs 1 credit. Multi-part packs - event promos, recruitment kits, video caption packs - cost 2. A 7-day content plan or project recap pack is 3, a 30-day plan or campaign builder is 8, and a full launch kit, event campaign kit, or NIL positioning kit is 10. Every vertical page lists its modes with their exact credit cost, so you always know the price before you run one. Your monthly credit allowance depends on your plan - see [Plans & Credits](/thecontentforge-docs/students/plans-and-credits.md) for the full breakdown.

### How Video & Podcast works

The **Video & Podcast** vertical doesn't add modes to Content Forge. Instead it unlocks a set of student **preset packs** inside Video Forge, where you can work directly from an uploaded video or episode - its transcript and highlights included. That covers episode promotion, clip hooks, descriptions, and repurposing into short-form. See [Video & Podcast](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/video-podcast.md) for the full list of packs and how to use them.
