Big Idea

The argument in one line.

A personal brand's content system runs on one loop: turn your actual client-onboarding process into topics, pull more ideas from demand and supply research, edit only for narrative and hooks, then post, split-test, and track views all the way through to closed deals.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…
  • A business owner or coach building a personal brand who has real client results but no repeatable system for turning them into content.
  • Someone with an existing service or coaching business who wants content that converts into leads and clients, not just views.
  • A creator who feels like they're always hunting for new topics instead of mining their own process for content.
SKIP IF…
  • You have no paying clients or case studies yet, this method assumes you already have proof to mine.
  • You're building a brand purely for entertainment or personality with no product or service behind it.
TL;DR

The full version, fast.

A business owner's content comes from one place: their own client-onboarding process, documented step by step and turned into five to ten content pillars. The video teaches a full loop: define your mission and proof, mine demand research (problems from sales calls, coaching calls, Reddit) and supply research (your own course material, past media, prior answers), shoot with a director so you don't go performative, edit for narrative and hooks only using the BEST framework (bait, elaborate, story, takeaway), then post, split-test variants, and track views, followers, and leads all the way through to closed deals so you can see exactly where the funnel is leaking.

Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 00:29

01 · Cold open: the promise

States the bulletproof system claim and frames the video as the answer to 'what do I actually post?'

00:29 – 00:52

02 · Six things to map first

Lists the six inputs every personal brand needs to define before posting: mission, proof, 10x-results drivers, onboarding process, blockers, and disqualifiers.

00:52 – 04:13

03 · Mission and proof

Argues every brand needs a mission beyond profit, uses his own Alex Hormozi-inspired mission and a client (Macro Daddy) case study, then explains why proof, not strategy, is what actually grows a brand.

04:14 – 08:37

04 · Onboarding process becomes content pillars

Shows how documenting your actual client onboarding (intake calls, current state vs desired state) produces a granular workflow, which in turn yields five to ten content pillars and dozens of sub-topics, each reformattable into multiple video styles.

08:37 – 11:03

05 · Research: demand vs. supply

Splits content research into demand (problems people need solved, from sales calls, coaching calls, Reddit, outlier videos) and supply (things you've already said, from course material and prior media), and defines a real content idea as a bundle of research plus format plus hook.

11:03 – 12:24

06 · Shooting with a director

Explains why most people go performative on camera and lose their natural voice, and why a director (or a friend who knows you well) is what keeps delivery casual and coachable.

12:24 – 14:22

07 · The BEST framework and the three editing felonies

Introduces the BEST narrative framework (bait, elaborate, story, takeaway) and the one vein-of-thought rule, then names the three editing mistakes to never make: repetition, non-essential information, and tangents.

14:22 – 17:05

08 · Posting, split-testing, and tracking the funnel

Covers shooting multiple hook/narrative variants to split-test on TikTok or staggered posts on the main feed, then tracking views, followers, and leads through to booked calls and closed deals.

17:05 – 17:38

09 · Outro and next video

Closes with a soft comment/DM ask and a tease for the next video on the 25 most popular content formats.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

  • A personal brand's content doesn't come from watching competitors, it comes from documenting your own client-onboarding process step by step.
  • People don't aspire to reach 10,000 followers, they aspire to reach hundreds of thousands, so weak referrals are a results problem, not a strategy problem.
  • A content idea is not a topic, it's a topic plus a format, a location, and a hook bundled together.
  • Copying competitors' content ideas commoditizes you, since anyone searching finds a dozen creators saying the same thing in the same format.
  • Camera-on performative mode kills watchability, a director's job is to hold you to the version of yourself that talks normally off camera.
  • Editing only has two real jobs, narrative and hooks, everything else is a distraction unless the concept depends on the edit itself.
  • The three editing felonies are repetition, non-essential information, and tangents, each one pulls a viewer off the single vein of thought a video should follow.
  • Instagram Reels is likely to flag a quickly reposted hook variant as a duplicate and limit its reach, so stagger split-test variants by weeks or months on the main feed instead.
  • Views only matter if they come from the demographic that would buy, a million views from the wrong audience is a vanity metric, not a growth metric.
  • Generic ebooks rarely convert as lead magnets, an interactive tool or resource that solves one real problem performs better at turning leads into booked calls.
Takeaway

Your Client Process Is Your Content

CONTENT SYSTEM

The content you're missing isn't a new idea, it's already sitting inside your own onboarding process, waiting to be documented, researched, shot, and tracked like a funnel.

02Six things to map first
  • Before writing content, map six things about your business: your mission, your proof, what it takes to 10x client results, your onboarding process, what blocks customers from succeeding, and who you deliberately turn away.
03Mission and proof
  • A personal brand needs a mission bigger than profit, something customers, team members, and clients can all buy into beyond just making money.
  • Proof, real client case studies and results, is the foundation of a personal brand; without it, growth stalls no matter how good your hooks or strategy are.
  • A handful of loyal followers isn't what grows a brand. People don't aspire to reach 10,000 followers, they aspire to reach hundreds of thousands, so the fix for weak referrals is better client results, not a better content hack.
04Onboarding process becomes content pillars
  • Document your actual onboarding process, what you ask, what you do, in what order, and it becomes a literal checklist of content topics, because each step is something a prospect needs explained.
  • Blending your past onboarding process with your ideal future process creates the workflow you should be running and teaching.
  • Studying your own history of helping clients reach their goals typically yields five to ten content pillars, each with dozens of sub-topics underneath it.
  • The same topic can be reformatted five different ways (podcast clip, FaceTime-style video, split screen, clone format, debate) to match different viewers' consumption preferences without needing a new idea.
05Research: demand vs. supply
  • Split research into demand (problems people need solved, found in sales calls, coaching calls, and Reddit) and supply (things you've already said, found in your course material, past YouTube videos, and old podcasts).
  • Copying competitors' content ideas (pure demand research) commoditizes you, since anyone can find the same viral format; supply research is what makes your content unique and defensible.
  • A real content idea is a bundle: a demand or supply insight, plus a format, a filming location, and a hook, not just a bare topic.
06Shooting with a director
  • Most people turn performative the moment a camera turns on, which is why having a director, someone who coaches you to speak the way you do in real life, produces more watchable content than filming alone.
  • If you can't afford a director, a friend, spouse, or business partner who knows how you naturally talk can fill that role.
07The BEST framework and the three editing felonies
  • A strong edit only needs two things: narrative and hooks; production polish barely matters unless the video's concept itself depends on a fancy edit.
  • Every video should read as a single, unbroken vein of thought: an opening that earns attention (bait), elaboration with a concrete story or example, and a closing takeaway that answers the question the hook raised.
  • Cut repetitions, non-essential information, and tangents; all three waste the viewer's time and should be flagged to editors as hard rules.
08Posting, split-testing, and tracking the funnel
  • Shoot three different hooks and narrative variants for the same topic, then split-test them on TikTok (fastest signal) or by posting versions a month apart on your main feed, since Reels tends to flag quick-succession duplicates and limit reach.
  • Track views, followers, and leads every month and expect the number to climb; raw views don't matter if they're not from the audience that would actually buy.
  • Leads should flow into some kind of nurture mechanism (an interactive resource or tool beats a generic ebook), then into booked calls, then into closed deals; measuring every stage of that funnel shows exactly where you're losing money.
Glossary

Terms worth knowing.

Demand research
Finding problems your audience needs solved, sourced from sales calls, coaching calls, and places like Reddit where people openly ask for help.
Supply research
Mining things you've already said or taught, your course material, past videos, podcasts, and coaching calls, for content ideas that are uniquely yours.
BEST framework
An editing structure for narrative: Bait (the hook), Elaborate (unpack the claim), Story (a concrete example or illustration), and Takeaway (close the loop the hook opened).
Content pillar
One of the five to ten broad categories a brand's content falls into, each one surfaced by documenting a phase of the actual client-onboarding process.
Outlier research
Studying unusually high-performing videos from competitors to borrow the format or structure, while changing the actual solution to your own.

metaphor
This is a bulletproof system to build a business using social media. It includes everything from getting millions of qualified views in your target demographic, educating them on your product or service, and ultimately getting strangers to become customers, clients, and transact with you. I know that sounds crazy, but this is the exact process that I've developed over the last five years that has allowed me to generate 20 million followers and millions of dollars for clients on social media.
And I'm making this video because content is actually really easy, but most people just don't know where to start. It's time to get into the nitty gritty of what you're actually going to post on social media. What are you going to talk about?
First, we're going to list out what is your mission? Like, how do you want to change the world? What is a massive problem that exists that you want to put a dent in?
I think that's super important. We're going to list out proof. So these are your case studies.
Next, we're going to list out what needs to be true to 10x client results. We're going to list out your onboarding process. You're going to list out what stops people from doing what they need to do.
And then lastly, why do you... disqualify people so first things first i think that every personal brand should have a mission and that mission should go beyond just profit because it's really easy for people to buy into that brand it's easy for team members to buy into it it's easy for clients to buy into it and so i really thought about that and i was like what is my goal for the soul why do i do what i do now and transparently when i was young i didn't have many leaders in my life and the only leaders that i had access to were the people on social media and that's how i found alex hermosi and just from following him and listening to his podcast and watching his youtube videos I ended up building a multi seven figure business.
I think that's pretty cool. And so I want other people to be impacted by people on social media the same way I was impacted on social media by Alex Ramosi. That is my mission.
And that's why I want to get super good at content. For some of our customers, there's a guy, Macro Daddy. He grew a couple million followers in a year and he used to be 300 pounds.
And he was 300 pounds because he didn't know how to eat food or how to think about food or how to look at food. And on his journey to losing 100 pounds, he learned a lot of really cool stuff. And now his mission.
is to change the way that the world sees food. Like I have goosebumps talking about that. That's so fucking sick.
That's great. So like, what is your mission that exceeds profit? Next, we're gonna have proof, need that.
The reason we're gonna talk about how are you gonna 10X client results is because I know a lot of business owners who can't seem to grow their brand and they can't seem to get more customers and they think that it has something to do with their strategy or their hooks, but it has everything to do with the fact that they get their customers mediocre results.
Like there was a guy recently that I was talking to and he was like, how do you get most of your business? business, bro. And I was like, word of mouth, bro.
And he was like, wow, bro. Well, I'm getting great results from my customers, but they're not referring me. And I was like, show me your best customer.
And he showed me the best customer. And the guy had grown like 10K followers and he does what I do. And I was like, 10K followers isn't enough for more people to want 10K followers.
People want to grow hundreds of thousands or millions of followers. So instead of trying to figure out the hack or the strategy, just go get your customers better results. Like proof is the bedrock of every personal brand.
And until you have proof, it's going to be hard to grow your business too. ask the question, what needs to be true to 10x client results? We're next going to talk about your onboarding process.
So what do you currently do when customers pay you money to get them an outcome? What stops people from winning? So these are like the blockers, like fitness coaches.
Everyone knows that they need to eat less and move more, and yet they're not eating less and moving more. But the reason why is because there is something that blocks them from doing that. And so you as a fitness coach, for example, your job isn't to send people workout programs and meal plans.
It's to remove all of the things that stop them from following the program so you need to list out what stops people so that you can create content that that solves that problem and then for what reason do you disqualify people for us a couple reasons are if you're making sub 100k a month if you do not have the financial ability to invest into a brand then we are not for you because a brand is an asset that takes time to grow and you don't invest into bitcoin because you're trying to pay for your groceries tomorrow with what you invested same with the brand another reason we would disqualify people is when they have no proof that they are good at what they do people that have no proof that are good at what they do have really nothing to talk about and so why would you hire us to help you grow your brand another reason we disqualify people is if they are erratic business owners like they're always moving the goal post on what they're measuring as success one week it's views and then we're like hey bro like can we just pick followers as the metric and then they're like yeah let's go and then three days later they're like leads are down we gotta fix this problem like we gotta we gotta pick a goal post and move towards it so you can't be an erratic business owner it doesn't work next we're gonna go into
what is the current state of a customer when they start working with you. And then over here, we have the desired state. The reason I want you to do that is so that you can take your current onboarding process, take the sequence of behaviors that you use to create success for your customers in the past, and then make a baby with those two things.
And that is going to be your workflow to get people to their desired state. So for us, the first thing that we do when we onboard people is we do two intake calls, okay? Intake call one and intake call two, cool.
So the first intake call is where we go over, logistics. Like we need to know what are they trying to build?
What are their goals? How do they measure success? Things like that.
Second intake call is so we can go super deep on their experience, their skillset, how they get their customers results so that we can take that and make content about it so they get more customers. So those are the first two things we do. Then we book their first shoot.
After they shoot, we will edit, we will post, and then we will iterate. Cool. Which leads into research, which leads to ideation.
Cool. And then this is just essentially a a flywheel that just keeps going over and over again.
Now that we have what you need to do, right? So we know you need to do an intake call. We know that you need to do two intake calls.
We know that you need to do a shoot and keep going. We now need to list how do you do that? So there are a sequence of behaviors that you will go through to do each of these things.
And that is the sequence of behaviors that now you'll need to go create. So what you're going to do is you're going to write down a granular workflow of your process to get customers results. If you're a fitness coach, maybe this is you jump on an onboarding call.
You need to get their body stat. you need to figure out what their goals are you need to figure out how much time they have to go to the gym if they have a food scale if they have the money to invest in meal prep like you just need to figure out what are all the things that you'll need to get in the intake and then after the intake what's the next thing you're gonna do and the next thing and the next thing all the way until they have reached desired state and the way you're gonna figure that out is to literally study reality what did you do with people in the past so now you're gonna list what are all of the granular steps that you will need to take within each of these phases so for us an intake call number one we'll go over what they expect then we'll We'll go over goals, then we'll go over how they're measuring success, then we'll go over what makes a good client, because we've worked with a lot of clients, some of them good, sometimes not so good, and so we just wanna be able to iron out the kinks before it even happens.
Yeah, so there's what people need to do, then there's how they need to do it. The reason you're gonna do this is so that you can get super clear on what has created success for people so that you can create content on those topics, because that is useful content for people. This, all the way to the end, is what you're gonna be creating content about.
If you don't have enough content ideas, because you spend so much time trying to study what other people are doing in their content and not enough time studying what you have done to create results for your customers from doing this you will probably have about five to ten content categories so different pillars this is what a lot of people talk about content pillars and then underneath each category you will have a granular list of things to talk about so right there you have like 50 to 100 different content topics that you could talk about and then you could reformat each individual topic with like five different formats so i think a lot of people are are always looking for net new ideas when what they should really be doing is figuring out what are the main categories of content ideas that I could continually talk about?
And then how can I repackage these ideas in different ways? Maybe I could do a FaceTime video and then a podcast video and then a split screen video and then a clone video and then a debate all on the same topic. Like people have consuming preferences.
Some people just like hearing people talk on a podcast. There are other people that as soon as they see someone's talking on a podcast, they scroll because they're like not interested. But if you took that same topic and you did it in a clone format, maybe that's more gamified and interesting for people.
And so you're gonna feed them the same value, but you are suiting their consuming preferences. If literally all you did was run through this exercise and then watch my video on content formats, you would have enough content topics to talk about for the next five to 10 years. So now you have infinity content ideas, but how are you going to actually do content?
How are you going to create it? So as I mentioned, we've generated 20 million followers for customers. So everything that I'm about to talk about is the literal process that we ran everyone through.
for us the video you clicked on. How are you going to make money on social media as a business owner with content? At the end of this workflow, we have leads.
All leads came from views or followers. All views and followers came from content that was posted. All posted content came from content that was edited.
All edited content came from content that was shot. All content that was shot came from ideas and all ideas came from research. Cool.
So these are the steps that will occur to go from no followers, no nothing to millions and millions of followers and hopefully hundreds of thousands of leads. So let's start with research.
So I would break research into two categories. You have supply and demand. So demand research is where you are going to find problems that people need solved.
So a great place to find problems is sales calls because your prospects are going to tell you what they're struggling with. Another place to find ideas is outliers on Instagram. Another place to find ideas is like coaching calls.
Reddit is a great place to find problems that need to be solved. People that have a specific problem and they're going to Reddit. to get help from the reddit gods so these are the most common places that i would do demand research think of demand as question think of supply as answer think of demand as problem think of supply as solution so you want to figure out what problems need to get solved that you can solve them with your unique methodology now supply it might sound similar but supply research is where you are going to find the things that you have said so that those can be content ideas now we built out your customer journey use that for supply coaching calls not coaching calls so you can hear what other people are asking you coaching Coaching calls so that you can hear what you have said.
What game did you spit? Course curriculum. If you're a coach and you have a course, then what is the course material about?
What do you say in the course? Prior media. So think like YouTube, books, podcasts, any place that you have posted content that solves a problem for people, that is supply.
Now, the pitfall that most creators fall into is they want to get views and followers. And so they go and plagiarize other people's content ideas. I think the reason why that is not good is because you are commoditizing yourself.
You are copying other people and you are not unique and exclusive. of it all. I can find a dime a dozen of you on social media.
Why would I work with you? So that's why we want to not stop at demand research. We want to go to supply research.
But demand research is really good because maybe a competitor of yours made a video in a format that solved a problem for people. And you can take that and imitate elements of it, but then add in the way you would uniquely solve that problem. I think that's the way to do outlier research.
So like this, a lot of people do this wrong. I think it should be used. It should not be your only form of getting content ideas.
Now you might be thinking, aren't these content ideas? I think not. I I think these are the topics that you're gonna talk about, but an idea is a bundle of multiple things.
It is supply, demand, a format, a location, and you could add a hook in here as well. Like, how are you gonna start the video? What's the direction?
This is what an idea is. When I get a team member to go ideate for a client, what I'm getting them to do is do research, add a format to that, add a location, where are we gonna film this? What's the vision of this video?
What problem is it gonna solve? And then put that together in a brief so that we can move to phase three, which is sh. shooting okay so you already know what you're going to be talking about you already know what format you're going to do shooting is literally just execution i think one of the best things that you can do if you want to be successful in shooting is have a director the reason why i think you should have a director is because as soon as the camera turns on most people that i've seen turn performative and they as soon as they turn performative their brain shuts off and they forget how to communicate so a director is someone that is going to hold you accountable to the version of yourself that shows up in real life i think people want to consume casual content, not performative content.
So a director is someone that can coach you on how to speak. They're going to be like, oh, you rambled too long. Say that shorter.
Or they'll be like, no, say this hook instead. Or they'll be like, do you have a story? How do you close this loop?
If you don't have access to a director, you can just have a friend that knows you really well. Maybe your spouse, maybe a business partner, maybe a client, someone that can shoot with you and then execute those ideas in the format that you preselected. Now in editing, you basically just need to care about one thing, two things, my bad, narrative and hooks.
That is all that matters in editing. Unless you are shooting a video where the video itself depends on a fancy edit, your editing quality does not matter.
Your narrative is essentially, I want you to imagine that a video is an opening which gets eyeballs, and then you take people on a story arc, and then you close the video. Another way to think about this is one vein of thought from start to finish. Now, a useful framework that we have used to create good narratives is the best.
framework this stands for bait elaborate story and takeaway what your editor needs to do is make sure that the video opens up with a strong hook which is your bait you need to elaborate on that statement you need to share some sort of story illustration example or visual so that it becomes observable like it's real to them it's not just conceptual theory that i'm throwing at you like this is real this is how it happened in real life and then a takeaway so this is the landing of the plane this is the closing of the loop every video is an open loop and you close the loop so for example you clicked on a video today that was something like how to build a personal brand that sells.
So in the video, I am teaching you how to do content in a way that helps you make money from a personal brand. So at the end of this video, I will have closed that loop. I will have answered that question.
So in short form content, this framework is what we use. So you can send this to your editor, get them to watch this section specifically, but there are a few laws that you want them to not break. The first law is you want no repetitions in your video.
So a repetition is saying the same thing in a different way. It wastes people's time. The second thing you want to make sure that your editors don't do is add non -essential information.
So again, if we think about the vein theory, it's like this is the way it should go. But if you added non -essential information, that wastes people's time. This doesn't move the vein of thought forward.
It doesn't move me further through the video. So this would be. A repetition wastes people's time.
The third law that you do not want to break is tangents. So that's where you go down a different vein of thought. Like, for example, today, if you clicked on a video that was how to build a personal brand that sells, and then I started talking about how to sell prospects in the DMs, that wouldn't push you further along the vein.
That would take you on a tangent that isn't on the same vein of thought. These are the three main felonies that we coach all of our editors on to never make when they're trying to edit a video so that it has a strong narrative. After you've edited your content, you need...
to post it now when you're posting your content it's not as easy as just downloading a video from dropbox or google drive and then posting it on instagram i think that you should have some sort of mechanism to test so in the editing process something i didn't talk about we create multiple variants of the same video so maybe we've edited a video for fitness coach about how to lose belly fat we'll shoot three different hooks and then the editors will create three different narratives that are all on the same topic but maybe they have a different hook a different length there's different included information and then we will test those three variants either either on TikTok, trial reels, or we'll post version one now, post version two in a month, and then version three in three months.
So if you're gonna split test on TikTok, it is super useful, and oftentimes the views do carry over to other platforms. But for some people, especially people that create content on boring business topics, TikTok is dead for them. They just get 200 views a video, and so they get no data.
So there might be an uphill battle trying to test on TikTok. You can also test on trial reels, but trial reels, there's a high likelihood that it will flag you for duplicates. So you'll post the same version.
and it'll say, this is too similar to a video that you've posted in the past, and then they'll limit reach. So I think posting on a different time horizon on your main feed is probably your best bet. I also want you to think about this as a principle, not as a tactic.
Like I want this video to still work in five years. And so the principle is testing. And there are so many different ways that you could test.
Right now, TikTok and trial rules are the way that we're testing, but find different ways to test based off of what is working currently on the social media landscape. Now, after you've posted content, your indicators of growth are views, Followers and leads.
Deals slash money. Just depends what you're measuring when it comes to content. Depends on the phase that you're in when you are building your personal brand.
But what you want to do is make sure that you are tracking the amount of views that you're getting every single month, the amount of followers that you're getting every single month. And you want to see that number consistently go up. Now, caveat, views just for view sake is not the move.
You do not just want views. You want the right kind of views. And the way to get the right kind of views is to talk about shit that would get you customers.
If you're talking about topics that your customers want solved for them. If you're talking about topics that your customers find interesting and you get a million views, then that's great. Those are a million views from people that you wanted to see that video after you've gotten views and followers.
Typically, there is some sort of lead nurture process that a business owner will follow. So, for example, many chat automations sending resources to people, not just boring e -books that are just like more information because I don't really think people find that valuable. But if you can make an interactive lead magnet or like a power resource or like you can cloud code something that actually solves a problem for people, then that is more value.
And if that lead magnet is solving a problem that a customer would experience, then that's good for nurturing leads. But you just want to have some sort of way to capture leads so that you can then turn those leads into conversations or bookings, which turn into sales calls, which then turn into deals. And you need to measure how many views and followers you're getting, how many leads are coming from those views and followers, what's the quality and quantity.
of those leads. After you have those leads, how many of them are making it to a sales call or a conversation? And then how many of those people are you closing?
You need to track all of those different numbers to figure out where you are losing money so that you can solve that problem. And oftentimes you solve that problem by better messaging. And that leads you right back to research.
