Staying consistent with video content, especially if you're not comfortable on camera, can be challenging. This is why many content creators rely on B-roll footage to transform everyday life into shareable stories that viewers relate to.  

In this solo episode, I share tips and techniques for gathering and creating posts using B-roll (aka raw footage), like using overlays and music, and easy-to-use video templates. 

Top Takeaways

🔹Document, don’t perform—capture real moments to reduce pressure and ship more. 

🔹Think in 3 simple ideas: what you’re doing, where to place the phone, what to show or tell.

🔹Turn clips into posts with one format: text-on-screen, voiceover with b-roll, or screen demo.

🔹Hook fast (first 1–3 seconds); keep caption lines short.

🔹Length guardrails: 7–20 seconds for quick tips; up to 60–90 seconds if you’re teaching.

🔹Voice over and music. Use no-lyrics tracks and keep music low so speech is clear. 

🔹Real-life example works: “Mission Grill Possible” turned a rainy grill into a high-engagement post.
