Simple B-Roll and Strong Hooks for Low-Effort, High-Impact Instagram Content

Sometimes creating new, original content just isn’t in the cards. It’s been a busy, chaotic week here, so I’m sharing my go-to for creating content when life gets too busy to plan, edit, and create something new. I’m sharing how I use intentional B-roll days, compelling hooks, and the magic of repurposing to consistently show up on social media without burning out. We’ll discuss practical tips for capturing your own engaging B-roll, along with tons of examples using my favorite hooks that will help you feel inspired, no fancy editing or crazy carousel posts required.

In this episode we’ll be covering:

  • Tips for creating easy, low-effort Instagram and TikTok content using simple B-roll footage.
  • How to plan and schedule B-roll days for consistent, stress-free social media posts when you don’t have the time.
  • Repurposing old captions and footage to save time and consistently post “new” content.
  • Viral B-roll content ideas for business owners with limited time for social media.
  • Using relatable, human moments and industry-specific B roll to boost engagement.
  • Effective examples of hooks and captions that connect with viewers and continue to drive followers into your funnel.
