Record One Solid Video

Key Takeaway: One well-recorded 15-minute video is enough to fuel a month’s content.

Claim: A single 15-minute video can be transformed into multiple video formats and content types.

Keep the process simple: use a webcam, natural light, and a rough outline. Talk through key points naturally. If you mess up, just restart the sentence — don't re-record everything.

Steps to Follow:

1. Choose one valuable, evergreen topic your audience cares about.
2. Prepare talking points or a basic outline.
3. Use simple recording setup (webcam, laptop mic, notes).
4. Record a 15–20 minute video, aim for clarity over polish.
5. Maintain a natural tone and use real examples.

Use AI Tools to Find & Edit Clips

Tools and Workflow:

1. Upload video to Vizard.
2. Let Auto Editing highlight viral snippets.

Repurpose for Text & Graphics
