Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. You can’t escape the topic if you’re online – both good and bad. If you’re a content producer, you can revamp the way that you create videos with tools that can help you with:
- Video creation
- Voiceovers
- Captions
- Editing
Video creation takes a long time, but it’s the most engaging. In fact, video gets 3x more engagement than static images. What if we showed you how to produce a lot of Instagram videos fast with AI? You’ll still have 100% creative freedom so that you can edit the video and add in your own, personal touches.
The difference?
You can create 10, 20, 30 – or more – videos in an hour. Before we look at a few of the tools that we’re sure you’re going to love, it’s important that you take the time to brainstorm.
Brainstorm🧠Ideas for Your Instagram Videos
What type of video content will you make? You can brainstorm ideas by:
- Hopping on trends (we explain more here), but if you see a major trend going on, don’t be afraid to leverage it to gain followers.
- Browsing through your Instagram Insights to see what posts resonate with your followers that you can use for ideas.
- Spying on your competitors to get ideas from their videos, but it’s important to never copy their videos or ideas.
- Figuring out a story that you want to tell and break this idea out into a series of videos.
- Searching Reddit, Quora and other sites to see what people in your niche are talking about and want to learn more about in your niche. For example, if someone wants to know about protein powder, chances are, others will be looking for similar content.
Create a Content Calendar📆
You have an idea of the type of videos that you want to create, but you need to make sense of it all. A content calendar can help. While we can write a small book on this topic, we’re going to provide a basic outline of how to get started with your calendar:
- Create a Google Spreadsheet (or any spreadsheet program you like, such as Excel).
- Add the following columns: Date to Post, Ideas, Type of Post, Created, Edited, Posted.
- Ideas and type of post that you plan to post.
- Create checkboxes for “created, edited and posted.”
- Add in the dates when you plan to have the post submitted.
- Check each checkbox as you create and post the content.
Easy, right?
Content calendars are an opportunity to stay organized and keep content on your account. If you don’t use a calendar, that’s 100% fine. But we find that they help immensely when trying to remain consistent with posting.
Use Content That You’ve Already Created for Ideas
If you’re an avid content creator who has a blog or YouTube videos, you have so many great ideas for Instagram videos that you can create using AI. You can:
- Repurpose your best blog posts into videos.
- Break your long-form videos into short video clips for Instagram.
But there’s an even easier way to begin using this technique. You can use some of the AI tools for Instagram that we’re going to cover to create videos from your blogs.
You’ve already spent time on ideation and creating the blog post. Why not turn it into videos that you can promote? You can even funnel traffic from your Instagram back to your blog post or sales funnel.
