Every idea works without anyone filming. AI presenters can explain your business, but they should never pose as customers or give testimonials, and every review you share should be a real one.

How it works

Every idea starts from something your customers already ask or want to see: a price, a first visit, a before and after, a question they're too shy to ask. That's why these posts tend to get saved and shared, and why they're easy to make.

The 30 days mix six formats so your feed doesn't repeat itself: AI presenter videos, faceless explainers, carousels, product or service visuals, short videos stitched from photos you already have, and blog or LinkedIn posts. Ten ideas are specific to your industry; twenty work for any business and are adapted to yours.

Use the hook as the first line or the first second of the video. It decides whether people stop scrolling. Then batch a week's worth at once, schedule them, and spend your time replying to comments instead of staring at a blank screen.

AI presenters are a good way to explain your business without filming. They should never pose as customers or give testimonials, and every review you share should be a real one. In the US, the FTC's rule on fake reviews and testimonials covers AI-generated ones too.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a small business post on social media?

Consistency matters more than volume. Three to five posts a week on one or two platforms is plenty for most local businesses, as long as you keep it up. These 30 ideas cover a month of daily posts, or about two months at three a week.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. Every idea here works with AI presenters, faceless explainers, carousels, designed visuals or short videos made from photos you already have.

Is AI-made content allowed on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube?

Yes, but the platforms ask you to label realistic AI-generated content in some cases, and you should never use AI to fake a customer, a review or a result. Check each platform's current labelling rules before you post.
