How to Create 1 Month of 5-Minute Videos in Just 1 Hour


One of the biggest roadblocks I hear is: “I don’t have time for video.” But here’s the truth: with the right plan, you can record 4 five-minute videos in just 1 hour—enough to cover a full month of content.

Here’s the system:

  1. Pick 4 topics in advance – Choose questions your clients ask you all the time. Each topic becomes a single 5-minute video.
  2. Batch record – Block out one hour, set up once, and hit record 4 times. You’ll save time because you won’t have to reset your equipment or mindset every day.
  3. Outline, don’t script – Write 3–4 key points per video. This keeps you on track without making you sound stiff or rehearsed.
  4. Repurpose each video – A single 5-minute video can be cut into short clips for social media, turned into an email tip, or even repurposed as a blog. One video = multiple touchpoints.

Think about it: one hour of recording = an entire month of content that works for you day and night.

Instead of worrying about how much time video takes, imagine how much time you’ll save when people start reaching out to you because they’ve already connected with your videos.

If you have experience, skills, or a story, there are people who already need what you know. They just don’t know you yet. Building a business today doesn’t mean working nonstop or chasing trends. It means clearly sharing...

A lot of small business owners want to use video to grow their brand, but they don’t start because they don’t have many followers. They think, “What’s the point if no one is watching?”They think they need to go viral first.They think followers equal money. They don’t. Right now, there are creators with massive audiences who can't get leads (and make money). Why?Because attention without a system does nothing. Most people are building a platform, not a business. They post content, chase views,...

This week is one of the BEST times of the year to remind people about your business. Everyone is online, everyone is scrolling, and everyone is looking for deals.

Your videos don’t have to be fancy. Just show up, smile, and clearly share what you can help people with. Here’s what to do this week: Make...
