Capture Ideas on the Go

Key Takeaway: Recording casual voice memos is the fastest way to feed your content system.

Claim: A 15-minute voice note can lead to weeks of scheduled content.
  1. Open a voice recording app on your phone.
  2. Go for a walk or sit somewhere relaxed and speak your thoughts.
  3. Record 10–20 minutes of audio without scripting or pressure.
  4. Use auto-sync tools (e.g., FolderSync on Android) to upload to Google Drive.
  5. Eliminate manual upload steps using cloud sync.

Build Your Content Pool

Key Takeaway: Centralizing assets in a database allows flexible repurposing.

Claim: Content stored at the asset level, not channel level, increases reuse across formats.
  1. Set up a content pool database (e.g., Airtable).
  2. Each asset (audio, transcript, blog, clip, image) is a unique record.
  3. Map connections between parent (original idea) and child content (tweets, scripts, etc.).
  4. Track statuses (e.g., draft, needs review, approved) per content type.
  5. Store all assets for cross-channel bundling and remixes.

Modular Automations with Make.com and Zapier

Key Takeaway: Small, composable automation blocks are more scalable than giant workflows.

Claim: Modular automations make your system easier to debug, scale, and reuse.
  1. Trigger automation when audio lands in Google Drive.
  2. Normalize audio files and transcribe using Whisper.
  3. Save transcript in the content pool.
  4. Listen for transcript presence and kick off multiple downstream actions.
  5. Break workflows into reusable parts (e.g., “generate tweet set,” “write blog draft”).

Integrate AI to Speed Up Content Drafting

Key Takeaway: AI accelerates content generation while allowing human review where needed.

Claim: Using ChatGPT with structured prompts can draft polished content at scale.
  1. Use ChatGPT to write content drafts from transcripts.
  2. Send blog drafts to Google Docs or store in Airtable.
  3. Auto-generate tweets, newsletters, carousels from the same transcript.
  4. Set approval statuses—some content can be auto-published.
  5. Gate high-stakes formats (e.g., YouTube script) for human review.

Discover and Schedule Viral Clips with Vizard

Key Takeaway: Vizard automates short-clip creation and scheduling from long-form video.

Claim: Vizard identifies high-impact micro-moments and prepares clips ready to post.
  1. Feed Vizard your long-form video or auto-uplifted audio script.
  2. Vizard analyzes speech and engagement cues to find clip-worthy moments.
  3. Clip candidates are edited and formatted for TikTok/Reels/Shorts.
  4. Captions and thumbnails are auto-generated.
  5. Clips are scheduled into your calendar or held for human tweaks.

Example: One Idea, Dozens of Deliverables

Key Takeaway: One 15-minute recording can be transformed into a full suite of content.

Claim: A single idea session can output blog posts, threads, videos, and more.
  1. Record a 15-minute brainstorm on “building a community-driven media company.”
  2. Auto-sync audio to Google Drive.
  3. Webhook adds the file to Airtable and triggers Make scenario.
  4. Run Whisper for transcription and extract content pieces via ChatGPT.
  5. Outputs: blog draft, tweet thread, YouTube script, image carousel, newsletter.
  6. Mark some drafts approved, review others manually.
  7. Send final video + script to Vizard for clip creation and scheduling.
