It’s easy to make content! When you have the formu It’s easy to make content! When you have the formula…

If you don’t care for reading captions, then just comment HOOKSPLEASE and I’ll send you a link to a free download: 101 Scroll Stopping Starts. 

It’s totally free and will give you over 100 HOOKS you can use for making content and marketing your small business on insta!

But why do instagram coaches & social media managers like myself, @tcbsocialmedia talk so much about HOOKS?!

I see a lot of content on this app. A LOT! People think a nice photo or a Reel of some footage is enough to make people watch it. But think about how most of us scroll: when we’re bored!! We pick up our phones waiting for the train, our coffee order… So your content needs to grab their attention!

A written hook on a screen can do this. Short phrases that speak directly to your ideal follower. 

I have pulled together over 100 hooks that have been used countless times, many on viral Reels, that you can use for your small biz.  Just comment HOOKSPLEASE below and I’ll send you the link.

Hate making content but want them to watch your Re Hate making content but want them to watch your Reel? I got you.

Short version: comment BROLLGUIDE and I’ll send you a link to a free guide for filming B Roll footage like this at home.

Long version: attention spans are short these days, and getting shorter. If you want your small business to stand out, you need to grab their attention as they’re scrolling. One of the best ways to do: visual hooks involving movement.

Any movement at the start of your Reel is eye catching. So start all your B Roll Reels with movement. 

Take a look at my Reel again; every shot has something at the start. The phone is moving, being picked up, being placed down. We’re not shooting a movie here! The camera position doesn’t have to be perfect! In fact that little shaky camera at the start, there’s even a name for it! It’s called the Gen Z shake! 

If you want to stop the scroll and grab their attention and you’d like more ideas like this just comment BROLLGUIDE and I’ll send you a link to a free download for filming your B Roll at home. 
I got you.

You don’t wanna make content but you have to right You don’t wanna make content but you have to right?! 

If you’re a, this looks too long to read person, then just comment BROLLGUIDE and I’ll send you a link to a free download. It will teach you SO many good ways to film your B Roll from the comfort of your own home!

But if you like a caption, let’s go!

You started your small business to do something you love. Not to become a full time content creator. And it can feel like that can’t it?! 

One minute you’re in your late 30s, or approaching your mid 40s, and you’re watching a viral TikTok and thinking, do I have to dance like that to market my business?! 🙈

The answer is no! I mean unless you want to! Wanna dance on the Gram, be my guest! I even did a few moves a few Reels back! 💃🏼

But filming B Roll like this, even if you’re on holiday with the fam is super easy. I shot a whole load more B Roll the day I filmed this by leaning my phone against my bike. No fancy equipment needed! Just natural light. And my phone. 

I find if I ask my husband he gets bored too quickly… and now my daughter is 13 she’s pretty good at filming. But sometimes she tells me I’m like Amanda from the tv show Amanda land and that stresses me out!! 🤣

So, if you’re a small business owner who’s on holiday fight now, go lean your phone somewhere and hit record….

And for when you get home, comment BROLLGUIDE  and I’ll send you a link to use for free!

Happy filming!
