🧠 Step 1: Brainstorming Your Content Idea (5 Minutes)

I start every piece of content by answering a simple question: "What will help or entertain my audience today?"

Tools I Use:

• Google Keep or Notion for idea jotting

• Pinterest or YouTube search for trending inspiration

🔍 Tip: Think of a question your audience might be Googling—then turn your answer into a post.

✍️ Step 2: Writing the Caption or Script (10 Minutes)

Once I’ve picked my idea, I outline what I want to say or show. If it’s a short-form video (Reel, TikTok), I script 3–5 punchy sentences. For a blog or carousel post, I bullet my points.

Tools I Use:

• Google Docs (syncs between phone and desktop)

• Grammarly Keyboard for spelling/punctuation help

🗣️ Tip: Keep it simple. Clear > clever. Always!

🎥 Step 3: Filming or Capturing Content (15 Minutes)

This is where the magic happens. I shoot content using my smartphone camera, natural light, and a tripod.

Tools I Use:

• Phone camera (1080p or 4K settings)

• Mini tripod with ring light (under $20 on Amazon)

• Bluetooth shutter remote

💡 Tip: Always clean your lens before shooting. Makes a huge difference.

🖌️ Step 4: Editing on the Go (15 Minutes)

After capturing the footage, I jump into editing immediately.

Editing Apps I Use:

• CapCut or VN Video Editor (for video)

• Canva Mobile (for graphics/thumbnails)

• Snapseed (for photo touch-ups)

🎯 Tip: Reuse templates to save time. I keep a saved video template in CapCut.

📤 Step 5: Uploading + Writing Captions/Descriptions (10 Minutes)

Once edited, I upload the content to my platform (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or blog). This is where SEO matters.

Checklist:

• Add relevant keywords in title + description

• Add 3–5 hashtags (if social media)

• Credit music or sources if needed

For Blogger:

• Add Search Description (meta description)

• Insert Pinterest-friendly images

• Link to related blog posts

If I’m not posting right away, I use scheduling tools:

• Meta Business Suite (for Instagram + Facebook)

• YouTube Studio app (for video scheduling)

• Later or Buffer (optional)
