Video ideas for your business, by industry
Not sure what to post this week? Start with what you want to achieve: sell, build trust or reach new people. Here are proven ideas for each goal, with examples for your industry.
A good video idea fits in one sentence
If you can’t say it in one sentence, it’s two videos. These four rules help you choose.
- 1Where do I start?
Show before you explain
The result, a detail or something moving in the first second. That’s what stops the scroll.
- 2How long should it be?
One idea per video
15 to 25 seconds is enough to show one thing well.
- 3All of them to sell?
Mix up your goals
If every video asks for the sale, people tune out. Add one that teaches or shows how you work.
- 4What about next week?
Repeat what works
If a format brought in inquiries, film it again with another product or another question.

How many videos should I post per week?
- 1 or 2 a week is enough to get started.
- Keeping it up matters more than posting a lot at once.
Do I have to be on camera?
- Not in every scene.
- Many are of the product, your hands or shot from above, with text on screen.
- The closing is usually to camera, in your own voice.
Do they work for Reels, TikTok and Shorts?
- Yes. They’re short, vertical videos.
- Post them wherever you want.
What if my industry isn’t listed?
- Pick “Other” in the app and use the general formats.
- Or tell the AI your idea and it builds the scenes for you.
