Social Media Success Plan
Social Video Project
Here is a shot list & vision board I would create if I were to upload my first video to social media looking for growth and trying to build a community.
Financial Goals:
-
Have a community of 10,000 followers who enjoy, interact, and engage with my content.
-
Build a platform that leads to brand deals & collaborations.
-
Bring in 10k a year through brand deals, collabs, & UGC.
Personal Goals:
-
Find a niche and create content that caters to that community.
-
Grow the flexibility to incorporate my life into the content.
-
Post consistently and develop a routine that allows me to bulk create and schedule content.
Platforms:
-
Start primarily on TikTok and grow a community there first
-
Facebook & Instagram reels once a community is established on TikTok
Shot List for first video: “New Creator → Road to 10K”
Video Length: 25–35 seconds
Tone: Honest, welcoming, beginner-friendly
Style: Talking head + light lifestyle b-roll
Goal: Clearly explain who you are, why you’re here, and invite people into the journey
Camera: Front-facing
Text on Screen:
“I’m a new creator on my journey to 10k followers”
(Short, clear, scroll-stopping — don’t overstuff the hook.)
Shot 2 – Context / Who You Are (4–12s)
Talking head OR cut between talking head + b-roll
Dialogue:
“For context, I’m a full-time social media coordinator trying to find a space on social that’s just for me, and I want to share how I’m building toward 10k while working full time and learning as I go.”
Talking head
Dialogue:
“I don’t have a niche yet, but I’m picking up the camera and sharing my life anyway while I figure out my place and my community.”
This is the relatability anchor.
Shot 4 – Invitation / Safe Space (23–30s)Friendly, direct
Dialogue:
“If you’re also looking for the courage to just start, share your life, and figure things out in real time—this is a safe space.”
Talking to camera
Dialogue:
“If that sounds like you, follow along and let’s do this journey together.”
Text on Screen:
“Road to 10k 🤍”
