We've been experimenting with re-purposing viral videos and popular memes to create engaging content, but we haven't had much success yet. We believe there's a lot of potential in this approach.
Here's what we've been doing so far:
1. Finding Trends: We keep an eye on the latest viral videos and memes across different platforms to identify popular content that resonates with our audience.
2. Adding Our Twist: We try to add our own brand's voice and humor to these trending videos and memes, hoping to make them feel fresh and original.
3. Editing Quality: We've noticed that the level of editing can significantly impact the effectiveness of our repurposed content. High-quality editing seems crucial, but we're still figuring out the best practices.
4. Platform-Specific Strategies: We've been tailoring our content to different platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, but we're still experimenting with what works best on each.
5. Engaging with Our Audience: We've encouraged our audience to share their favorite memes and viral videos, and we're considering featuring their suggestions to build a sense of community.

- What strategies have worked for you?
- Any tips on improving editing or content creation?

Short videos are tricky. I've tried adding humor to my content but it feels forced. Need help creating something authentic.

Have you experimented with different video lengths?
I think it is also important that you are picking topics that resonate with your audience. Also- how long have you been experimenting with it? It takes a while to find your rhythm. It takes one viral to strike a chord.
@my3_murthy Thanks for your tips! We just started making short videos recently. Maybe we should try to post more videos with different content.

Hello, do you have any content for short form? I would like to inspire myself :)
@busmark_w_nika Hi, Nika, you can check our youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@xspiral_3d
I love short videos with founders and clients speaking.
I feel it makes startups more human and in a way interesting.
Posting videos like that on Li. One made my personal record in engagement with 5K impressions (posted 5 d ago)
@kostyabolsh That's great to hear! Nice approach! We're going to try it out as well . :)
Thanks for sharing!
