Your 5-Minute Content Kickstart 🚀

Hi there,

If you're just starting out as a content creator, you're probably feeling overwhelmed. Should you invest in expensive equipment? What should you talk about? How do you get followers?

Here's the truth: None of that matters until you start creating consistently.

The 5 Minute Implement

The Three-Bullet Method

Write three bullet points about one topic. That's your video. Add a one-line intro. Don't overthinking the structure.

Use this as an outline for your video. Now record.

The 1% Rule for Beginners

Every successful creator you admire was once exactly where you are now—zero followers, no views, figuring it all out. The difference? They showed up anyway.

Brandon Washington, a creator who recently grew by 2,000 followers in two weeks, puts it simply: "The goal is just to get 1% better with each upload." (You can read the complete breakdown on our blog.)

What this means for you:

Your first video will be bad. Post it anyway.
Your second video will be slightly less bad. That's progress.
By video 10, you'll have learned more than reading 100 guides.

Three Tips to Get Started This Week

1. Pick ONE platform

Don't try to be everywhere at once.

Choose Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and commit to posting there twice this week. That's it.

2. Use what you already have

Your phone camera is good enough.

Natural lighting from a window works. Record in your bedroom. Start where you are.

3. Steal (legally) from yourself

Made a 3-minute video?

Break it into three 30-second clips. That's one piece of content becoming four pieces. Work smarter, not harder.

4. Build your outline right in your recording tool

If you're using Ecamm, create a scene for each talking point before you hit record. Switch between them as you go. It keeps you on track and makes editing dead simple later.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Stop asking yourself: "Will people like this?"

Start asking: "Did I create something today?"

Focus on output (making and posting content), not outcome (views and likes). The outcome will follow once you master the output.

Level Up: Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced

Here are three pathways based on where you want to grow:

Beginner → Intermediate

Next Step: Commit to posting twice per week for the next month.

Why it works: Consistency builds both skills and audience trust. You'll learn what resonates faster through repetition than through planning.

Intermediate → Advanced

Next Step: Start repurposing your content. Turn one long video into 5+ short clips using tools like Opus.

Why it works: You multiply your reach without creating more content from scratch. This is how creators scale without burning out.

Advanced → Expert

Next Step: Batch-create content in focused sessions. Set aside 2 hours to record 5-10 pieces at once. Use Ecamm scenes as your teleprompter alternative. Set up a scene for each topic, and you'll never lose your place or have to start over.

Why it works: You separate creation from publishing, reducing decision fatigue and maintaining consistency even during busy weeks.
