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.

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.

@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 . :)
