GS #42: An AI Prompt to Create Your Own Repeatable Instagram Reels Series

​
what we're up to:

👋 As you may know, we decided to ease back into Instagram content last month with a super low-lift approach, experimenting with simple B-roll Reels that took minimal effort to edit.

This approach worked well for us in getting momentum again (yay!) — were able to get back into daily posting without hating it.

BUT... for our Month 2 adjustment of our strategy, it occurred to us that we're less than 40 days away from our FINAL enrollment ever of WAIM Unlimited 😱, and it would make sense to direct all our effort toward a strategy with the sole focus of marketing that launch.

So Jason had the idea to do a kind of behind-the-scenes diary, daily Reel series leading up to our June 9th launch.

This "Final Launch Countdown Series" is definitely more effort (scripting, filming, editing, etc.), but we’re already seeing better engagement and follower growth compared to our low-effort Month 1 strategy because of it.

Sometimes, going that little extra mile does make a difference. In a sea of crowded content, that extra thought and creativity can be what makes your brand memorable and worth following.

And honestly, putting in a bit more effort has made the process feel more creatively fulfilling and meaningful for us too. I'm loving the process of honing my storytelling skills, editing skills and getting more efficient at producing the content. 🤩

So, we'll keep bringing you "field notes" from these Instagram experiments if you too are looking for a way to market your business on the platform but in a way that feels fun and enjoyable for you. (Ps. You can hear us deep dive on this further in this week's podcast episode down below!)

When we decided to do our 40-Day Final Launch Countdown series, I was nervous about the level of daily effort it would require and if I could keep up with it.

But every day I'm honing my system more and more, and enjoying the process.

If you are struggling to get traction on Instagram, I'm not saying you have to shift to our strategy of these highly-edited Reels, but we think it's worth considering a 30-day daily series to revitalize your account and give people a reason to follow.

Benefits of this approach include:

• 🤩 Giving potential followers a clear reason to hit "Follow" (they know what type of value or content to expect)
• 🔁 Daily repetition helps you hone your editing and content creation skills
• 📊 Quick, consistent feedback shows you which topics and formats resonate with your audience
• ✅ Building momentum and habit for yourself as a creator (which can help overcome perfectionism and procrastination)
• 📚 Creating a body of work that positions you as a go-to expert or voice in your niche

Here’s a prompt to help you plan your own daily Instagram series:
