30 Video ideas to consider
Theses ideas are meant to inspire you to engage with your right-fit clients (and caregivers) through social media. If you approach these suggestions the same way I approach recipes for meals and built on these prompts – making them your own, that would be the best possible outcome of sharing these with you.
These are built with the intention of developing more comfort and confidence infront of a camera. After you’ve gone through the 30 Video prompts to put together a month’s worth of content, you can continue using the same prompts, butchange up the messaging to cover different topics/services each time to continue feeding your social media with fresh/engaging content.

TERMS EXPLAINED
Here are some elements you’ll see repeated throughout the video prompts below:
RFC
This stands for Right-Fit Client (or Caregiver), which is your ideal audience to connect with through your content.
HOOK
This is the attention-grabing statement that introduces what the video is about.
TALKING HEAD
This is a type of video that will include you or a person from your agency speaking in the video. Generally runs from 30-60 seconds.
TRENDING AUDIO
In these videos, there will be text/graphics to depict the message instead of someone speaking. You'll want to select a song for background audio that complements the message. Video and images in the background will help illustrate your point.
OUTCOME
This will include some guidance of what to include in the video to lead to your desired and the RFC's desired outcomes.
PRO TIP
Rather than create a video each day to post, plan your videos for 15-30 days out, then schedule blocks of time to shoot several at once. After shot and edited, use either built-in scheduling tools or 3rd-Party social media tools to schedule out the videos to post so they happen each day without requiring a team member to take time each day to post them.
