Ever felt the pressure to pump out fresh video content consistently? You’re not alone. Keeping audiences engaged with a steady stream of short, bite-sized videos can feel like a full-time job. But what if I told you there was a way to generate, edit, and target your content like a pro, all while saving precious time and maximizing engagement? Introducing my “G.E.T.” checklist, the secret weapon for churning out 3 viral-worthy videos a week, even if you’re a one-person content machine.

G.E.T. in Action:

G – Generate Valuable and Shareable Ideas:

  • Analyze the Masters: Every week, dive into the popular video trenches of Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. See what’s trending, dissect the most-watched videos, and take inspiration for your own content. Think of it as reverse-engineering virality.
  • Respond and React: Listen to your audience. Read comments, respond thoughtfully, and turn those interactions into video gold. A well-placed question answered in a video can spark curiosity and engagement.
  • Mine the Community: Facebook groups and pages dedicated to your product or niche are treasure troves of ideas. See what people are talking about, their pain points, and their questions. Craft videos that address them directly.
  • Tap the Power of AI: Use AI-powered tools to prompt ideas, generate video scripts, and even write product reviews. It’s like having a tireless brainstorming buddy on your side.
    • “Based on these topics I have already covered, what are some related [product name] topics that people might want to watch: [topic 1, topic 2, topic 3, etc…]”
    • “Derive 10 how-to questions that will lead to [product name] as the solution.”
    • “Write a product review of [product name] based on user experience and research. Include an in-depth analysis of the product’s features, benefits, and drawbacks.  Ensure that the information is the most relevant, accurate, and up-to-date. Also, Compare the product to similar products on the market. Insert my personal opinion and recommendation.”

E – Edit Eye-Catching and Engaging Content:

  • Hook ’em from the Start: Craft an opening title that grabs attention like a headline writer on caffeine. Use emojis, relevant keywords, and a touch of mystery to pique viewers’ curiosity.
  • Problem, Solution, Success: Clearly identify a problem your audience faces, then showcase your product as the hero. Use a step-by-step approach, explaining features with clear “so that” statements linking them to benefits.
  • Call to Action: Don’t leave viewers hanging. End with a strong call to action, whether it’s subscribing, visiting your website, or leaving a comment.

T –  Target Specific and Interested Viewers:

  • Hashtag Hustle: Research popular hashtags related to your content and target audience. Use AI tools to generate hashtag lists, and don’t forget location-specific and brand-relevant tags for extra reach.
    • AI prompt: “Write a row of popular hashtags for this: “
  • Emoji Power: A strategically placed emoji can add personality and draw attention to your caption’s opening hook. Ask AI to suggest the perfect emoji to make your text pop.
    • AI prompt: “Add emoji to this: “

Pro Tips:

  • Personalize it: Inject your unique voice and perspective into your videos. Authenticity resonates with viewers.
  • Experiment and iterate: Don’t be afraid to try new things and analyze what works. Track your video performance and adapt your strategy based on data.
  • Consistency is key: Commit to a regular upload schedule and stick to it. Your audience will come to expect and appreciate your content.
