Apr 3 (edited) • 🎁 Give

You've made it to Day 6! You've crafted your intro, found your filming spot, generated ideas with AI, created a script with AI, and recorded your video in a simple way. We're SO CLOSE!

Now it's time to create the perfect caption that will get people to actually WATCH your video!

Here's the AI Prompt to get your caption, with hashtags, written FOR YOU.

**DON'T FORGET: You have to paste in your video "script" or "outline" from Day 4.

📝 TODAY'S FOCUS: Writing a Compelling Post That Gets Views

Your caption is just as important as your video! It's what stops the scroll and convinces people to watch. Today I'll show you my proven 4-part structure for captions that drive engagement.

✨ THE PERFECT CAPTION FORMULA:

1. THE STATEMENT

Start with one short, powerful sentence that captures the key idea of your video.

"Struggling to get more eyes on your blog posts?"
"Here's why I gave up coffee."
"How to release your podcast in Spanish."

Remember to hit enter TWICE after your statement (for LinkedIn)!

2. THE CURIOSITY BUMP

Add a short teaser that makes people curious about what's in your video.

"You'll never guess the simple trick I use."
"It's not what you think."
"And I started doing THIS instead."

3. THE SUMMARY

Write 4-8 sentences that summarize what you say in the video, BUT you might want to leave out a key detail to create curiosity!

Example: "As bloggers, we pour our hearts into creating valuable content, but it's frustrating when no one reads it. I used to experience this all the time until I discovered a game-changing strategy. By using a free platform many overlook, I can tailor my blog content to precisely what my audience is searching for. This strategy has doubled my traffic in just 30 days – and takes less than 15 minutes to implement."

Notice how I didn't reveal that Quora is the platform? This creates curiosity to actually watch the video!

4. THE "YOU" CTA

End with a question that relates to your audience and invites comments.

"Have you struggled with getting traffic to your content? Drop a comment and let me know!"
"Would you ever consider life after coffee? Let me know in the comments."

📌 BONUS TIPS:

Title & Hashtags: Create an attention-grabbing title and add 3-5 relevant hashtags
Emojis: Use them if they match your style, but don't stress about them either way
Best Posting Time: Weekday mornings often perform well as people check social media at the start of their day

✅ YOUR DAY 6 HOMEWORK:

Write your caption with the AI Prompt
Review and perfect it
Share your caption in the comments for feedback
Support and review other people's captions

Tomorrow is our final day when we'll put everything together and actually post your video (and party)! Your caption today is the final puzzle piece before you go live.

Remember: Don't overthink this! It doesn't have to be the most viral post ever created. Just follow the structure, have fun with it, and get it done.
