Short-form video system

Updated over a week ago

Create a repeatable system for producing viral short-form content by analyzing patterns, building templates, and batching creation.


What This Workflow Does

Research what's working in your niche, identify proven formats, create templates, and batch-produce scripts using a systematic approach.


How to Do It

Phase 1: Research & Pattern Analysis

Step 1: Find Top Performers

"Search for the top 20 videos about [your niche] on TikTok  and Instagram Reels"

Step 2: Analyze Patterns

"Analyze these videos and identify: - Most common hook styles - Content structures that repeat - CTAs that work best - Optimal video length - Trending formats"

Step 3: Identify Your Top 3 Formats

"Based on this research, what are the 3 most effective video  formats I should focus on for [your niche]?"

Phase 2: Build Your Templates

Step 4: Create Format Templates

"Create 3 script templates for the formats you identified.  Include: hook structure, body outline, and CTA framework"

Example output:

  • Template 1: "Myth vs Reality" format

  • Template 2: "3 Tips" format

  • Template 3: "Transformation Story" format

Step 5: Get Hook Frameworks

"Give me viral hook frameworks"

Pick 10-15 hooks that fit your niche and save them.

Phase 3: Content Batching

Step 6: Create Topic List

"Based on my content pillars [list pillars], give me 30 video  topic ideas that would work with the templates we created"

Step 7: Batch Create Scripts

"Using Template 1 (Myth vs Reality), write 10 scripts about: [list 10 topics from your topic list]"

Repeat for Templates 2 and 3.

Step 8: Organize in Saved

  • Save all scripts to Saved page

  • Search by format type when needed

  • Edit before filming

Monthly Planning System

Week 1: Research

Week 4: Review & Refine

  • Analyze performance

  • Update templates

  • Plan next month
