⚡ AI Growth Hack of the Week: One Video into a Full Campaign in 45 Minutes Flat

How It Works:

1. Grab a solid chunk of long-form content—like a 10–30 minute webinar, podcast episode, screen demo, or client walkthrough that’s already got value baked in.

1. Feed it into CyberCut AI to auto-slice it into 3–5 punchy social clips, no editing sweat required.

1. Hit up ChatGPT with this prompt: "Turn this video clip into:– 1 Instagram caption– 1 tweet or LinkedIn hook– 1 short email to drive traffic– A simple landing page headline and CTA"

1. Optional boosters: Use Ripplica to schedule posts across platforms or track leads, or embed clips into a quick mini-course/resource with Unfold for extra stickiness.

Why It’s a Game-Changer:

Ditch the blank-canvas grind—repurpose one solid video into a multi-channel blitz that hits audiences where they live. It slashes hours of creation time while keeping your core message consistent and engaging across formats.

Scott’s Angle:

Why reinvent the wheel when you've got a goldmine video sitting there? This hack turns it into a lean, mean campaign machine in under an hour—clips, captions, hooks, the works. No more content droughts; just smart leverage that frees you up for real wins, not endless brainstorming BS.

That’s the close on this edition—brimming with AI tools to amp your marketing as the year wraps. We covered CyberCut AI for slicing footage into social gold without an editor, Brandmark.io to whip up pro branding kits in minutes, and Unfold for adaptive, interactive courses that scale your expertise.
