Combat creator burnout by leveraging past successes. Feed the scripts or captions from your most popular old Instagram posts into ChatGPT and prompt it to create rewritten or recreated versions. This upcycling method generates fresh, proven content with minimal creative effort.

Instead of guessing what short-form content will resonate, identify existing long-form videos or articles with the highest engagement. Transcribe these proven winners and use AI to extract impactful clips, carousels, and tweets. This method leverages past success to increase the probability of future performance.

A SocialPilot study analyzing millions of Instagram posts found a surprising inverse relationship between hashtag use and reach. Posts with zero hashtags performed 23% better on average, and using more hashtags correlated with receiving fewer views.

Tools like Notebook LM don't just create visuals from a prompt. They analyze a provided corpus of content (videos, text) and synthesize that specific information into custom infographics or slide decks, ensuring deep contextual relevance to your source material.

Create a hands-off content pipeline by combining two AI tools. Use ChatGPT with specific prompts to generate fully-fleshed-out video scripts. Then, instead of filming them yourself, paste those scripts directly into InVideo.ai to have the final video product generated automatically.

Unlike Twitter which may reward niche wit, Instagram virality depends on broad shareability. A product management meme account grew to 55k followers by focusing on relatable tropes (e.g., the PM vs. engineer dynamic) that professionals in adjacent roles would share with their peers, expanding the content's reach beyond its core audience.

Instead of needing a formal podcast, creators can use a simple Instagram Live session as raw material. Even with low viewership, the live video can be saved and uploaded to Opus Clip, which then automatically extracts dozens of short, engaging reels from the long-form content.

To grow on platforms like Instagram, design content with a broad, intriguing hook on the first slide or in the first few seconds. This captures a wider audience beyond your niche. Then, use the subsequent content to deliver your specialized value, converting interested viewers into followers.

Leverage AI to analyze your year's worth of data to quickly identify top-performing content. AI can then go a step further by summarizing these top pieces or extracting key takeaways, creating new derivative content from your existing assets with minimal manual effort.
