Content Strategy
1. Series Content
Create a series of AI videos on a theme (e.g., "AI food art of the day"). Series build audience expectation and return visits.
2. Before/After
Show a static image, then reveal the AI-animated version. This creates engagement through transformation.
3. Trending Topics
Use AI video to visualize trending topics, news, or cultural moments. Speed matters—post within 24 hours of a trend.
4. Educational
Use AI video to illustrate concepts: "How a volcano erupts" with AI-generated eruption footage.
