Day 2 - Life Hack - “Today was the worst day ever…”

Creation Tip: Film yourself struggling with something that relates to your brand. Start your video saying “Today was the worst day ever.. “ Example: if you are a skincare company, showcase yourself in the mirror struggling with how your skin looks and offer the solution by showing how your product fixes that problem - “Today was the worst day ever, I woke up and my skin was cracked and dry!“
Day 3 - Customer Testimonial - “This may be controversial but…it’s not.”
Share a 5-star customer reviews
Creation Tip: Start the video by saying, “This may be controversial but…it’s not!” Screen record or flash several pictures on the screen of good reviews your brand has received. Add a shock factor to your voiceover and tone and rave about how your customers are enjoying your brand. This shows your brand's integrity and appreciation for customers.
Day 4 - Sneak Peek - “We’ve never told anyone this before….”
Give followers a sneak peek into a new product or an unknown fact about your biz.
Creation Tip: Film aspects of your new product or a behind the scenes clip and start our by saying “We’ve never told anyone this before….” and continue to highlight some facts with text overlay.
Day 5 - Product Showcase - “3 Reasons Why…”
Highlight your best selling product or service
Creation Tip: In natural lighting hold/perform your product/service (applying the product, working on your laptop (digital services) etc.) for 30 seconds. Voice over the video and start with the hook “3 Reasons Why you need…” and explain each reason in 10 seconds or less.
Day 6 - “Here’s the truth about…I know this because I have…”
Share Educational info within your industry
Creation Tip: Sit in your car and talk to the camera about a tip within your industry. It does not have to be ground breaking. You would be surprised what simple things people don’t know.
Day 7 - “Pack with me” or “Work with me”
Storytelling behind-the-scenes at work.
Creation Tip: If you own products, film yourself packing for 30 seconds or more. If you’re about to pack in a quiet space use ASMR to your advantage. If you’re unable to capture the packing sounds, voiceover the video about what packing supplies you’re using and why you enjoy them or any fun facts about your brand. If you offer a service, film yourself working and voiceover a work “horror” story or bad customer story.
