Do you need help with this topic?
Creating content every single day can feel like a full-time job on its own, and honestly, who has the time for that? If you’re wondering how to get a lot of videos made without spending hours each day glued to your camera, I’ve got a straightforward method that works for me. It’s all about planning, batching, and letting someone else handle the scheduling.
Key Takeaways
- Plan your videos weekly.
- Record in large batches.
- Hand off to an editor for descriptions, shorts, and scheduling.
- Apply the same batching approach to social media posts.
My Weekly Video Planning Process
My week starts with making a list. I keep a running list of video ideas right on my phone. This way, I know exactly what I need to film when I set aside time for it. It’s a simple step, but it makes a huge difference in staying organised and focused.
Batch Recording: The Time Saver
Instead of filming one video at a time, I dedicate a block of time to record multiple videos at once. This is what I call batch recording. It might seem like a lot upfront, but it’s way more efficient than trying to get into the filming mindset every single day. Sometimes, I’ll film an ad-hoc video if a spontaneous idea strikes, but the bulk of my content comes from these big recording sessions.
Editing and Scheduling Made Easy
Once I’ve got all my footage, I send it over to my video editor. They take care of all the behind-the-scenes work: writing descriptions, creating short clips from the longer videos, and scheduling them to go out. This frees me up completely, so I don’t have to worry about the technical side or when each video will be published.
Applying Batching to Social Media
This batching approach isn’t just for videos. I use the same method for my social media posts. I plan out what I want to share for the week, get it all ready in one go, and then schedule it. It means I can share consistently without the daily pressure of thinking, "What should I post today?"
By batching my content creation, I avoid the daily grind of making videos and keep my business visible without feeling completely drained. It’s a simple system, but it’s been a game-changer for my productivity.
