0 of 7 steps done

  1. Build an ideas bank

    Ask for 30 ideas at once and keep the 7 you'd actually film. Save the rest for next week.

    Copy-ready prompt
    I make short videos about [your topic] for [who your audience is]. Give me 30 video ideas in three groups: quick tips, common mistakes, and behind the scenes. One line each. Avoid anything that needs expensive equipment.

    Check it worked: You've picked 7 ideas you're excited to film.

  2. Write scripts with a strong hook

    The first two seconds decide whether people keep watching. Get three hook options per idea and read them aloud before you choose.

    Copy-ready prompt
    Write a 30-second script for this idea: [idea]. Give me 3 different opening hooks (under 10 words each), then the script in short spoken lines, then one line of on-screen text and a caption with 3 hashtags. Sound like a person talking, not an ad.

    Check it worked: You can read each script aloud in about 30 seconds.

  3. Film everything in one session

    Face a window for light, hold the phone vertically at eye level, and film each script two or three times. Don't edit yet. A cheap clip-on microphone helps more than a better camera.

    Check it worked: Every script has at least one take you're happy with.

  4. Edit and caption in CapCut

    Import your best take, cut the pauses, then use auto captions and fix any wrong words (check Arabic captions carefully). Add the on-screen text from your script in the first two seconds.

    In this step

    CapCut · Edit videos on your phone, with auto captions.

    Check it worked: Watch it on mute: the captions alone tell the story.

  5. Repurpose long videos into shorts

    If you have a longer video (a live stream, podcast or YouTube video), upload it to OpusClip. It suggests short clips with captions; keep the ones that make sense on their own.

    In this step

    OpusClip · Cuts long videos into short, postable clips.

    Check it worked: Each kept clip makes sense to someone who hasn't seen the full video.

  6. Make covers and schedule the week

    Make one cover template in Canva and reuse it, changing only the text. Then schedule the videos in each app (TikTok and Instagram both let you schedule posts) — one a day is plenty.

    In this step

    Canva · Posts, flyers and slides from a template.

    Check it worked: Seven posts are scheduled, each with a cover and caption.

  7. Learn from the numbers once a week

    Copy each video's views, average watch time and shares into a note, then ask for patterns. Make more of what worked.

    Copy-ready prompt
    Here are last week's videos with their hook, views, average watch time and shares. What do the best ones have in common? Suggest 5 new ideas that follow the same pattern.
    
    [paste your numbers]

When it breaks

Arabic auto-captions are full of mistakes

Speak a little slower and closer to the mic, and choose the right caption language. Or paste your script into the captions and adjust the timing.

Every script sounds the same

Paste two of your best past captions into the chat and say: "Write like this. Use my words and my humour."
