How to get short-form video ideas
- 1
Describe your niche
Say what you make and who it is for. A sentence of context gives far better ideas than one word.
- 2
Set platform and style
Pick the platforms, how you film (face to camera, faceless, screen) and the target length.
- 3
Shoot the best three
Pick the ideas you can film this week, keep the hooks and turn the steps into a shot list.
Make short videos people finish
Hook in the first second
Start mid-action or with the payoff on screen. There is no time for an intro.
One idea per video
Short videos work when they make one point well. Save the rest for the next one.
Let it loop
An ending that flows back into the start makes people watch twice.
Add on-screen text
Many people scroll with the sound off, so put the key line on screen too.
