Deb Szabo Video Marketing Strategist Video Coach

If you're like 95% of us in business, coming up with new ways to talk about the same thing can be exhausting.

But here's a trick I have used in marketing when creating content about the same topic day in day out...but with a different perspective.

Here's how you can turn 1 topic into 8 different video ideas.

I take one TOPIC from my CONTENT CATEGORIES, and then deliver the information with a different approach. Get my Cheat Sheet: Turn 1 TOPIC into 8 Video Ideas - https://www.debszabo.com/resources

There are 8 key approaches you can take to provide your audience with insights on how you help them. 

  1. Mistakes: People love knowing they're not the only ones messing up.
  2. Tips: Throw some knowledge bombs their way. Education is valuable content.
  3. Tutorials: Show them how it's done. Be their guide.
  4. Systems: Share your lazy... I mean, efficient ways of doing things.
  5. Storytelling: Take them on a journey. Make it personal or showcase a client's transformation.
  6. Behind the scenes: Let them peek behind the curtain. People love reality TV for a reason!
  7. Entertainment: Throw in some laughs. Keep it fun and engaging.
  8. Inspiration: Make them dream big and show what's possible.

This works no matter your industry or niche.

Whether you're a health coach talking yoga, a winery sipping bubbly, or a real estate agent prepping open houses, these eight approaches have got you covered. Let's break it down with some real-world examples: For the health coach: 

  • Mistake: "Think you need an hour for yoga? Try this 20-minute session instead!"
  • Tip: "3 yoga moves to loosen your shoulders from computer work."
  • Entertainment: Picture this – you doing downward dog, and your border collie joining in. Comedy gold!

For the winery: 

  • Mistake: "Ditch the teaspoon in your champagne bottle. Here's what to do instead."
  • Tutorial: "How to pop that cork without taking out an eye."
  • Inspiration: Sipping champagne on a yacht. Need I say more?

For the real estate agent: 

  • Tip: "3 things to ditch before your open house inspection."
  • System: "My fool-proof open house prep routine."
  • Entertainment: You, frantically mopping as the first visitors arrive. We've all been there!

One topic, eight different spins, endless possibilities. So, next time you're staring at a blank content calendar, feeling like you're throwing spaghetti at the wall.

Remember this: you don't need new topics. You just need a different approach to communicating what you do and how it helps people.
