Short-Form Series Planner
Plans a connected multi-part short-form series around one idea.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
You could create a series around common mistakes people make with money. Each episode would introduce one mistake and explain why it's a problem. You might structure it so viewers want to watch the next episode to learn the solution or see another example. The key is making each part engaging enough to stand alone while also building curiosity for the full series. Consistency with posting frequency will help build momentum. What finance mistakes do you see people make most often?
SHORTFORM SERIES BLUEPRINT: "5 Money Mistakes That Wreck Your Future" SERIES STRUCTURE (5 episodes, sequential) EPISODE 1: "The 40% Lie" (Savings rate myth) Hook (first 2 seconds): "Everyone says save 40%. They're wrong." Body: Explain why percentage-based savings fails for people earning under 100k. You need a DOLLAR target, not a percentage. Cliffhanger: "Mistake 2 is why you keep breaking your budget anyway." CTA: Follow for part 2 tomorrow. EPISODE 2: "Subscriptions Kill Dreams" (Hidden leakage) Hook: "This ONE line item costs you $140k by retirement." Body: Audit your subscriptions, show calculator (Spotify + Netflix + apps = $28/month = $11.3k over 40 years at 7% growth). Cliffhanger: "But mistake 3 is the REAL wealth killer." EPISODE 3: "Debt Snowball Theater" (False priority) Hook: "Gurus lie about paying debt first." Body: High-interest debt (credit cards) vs low-interest (student loans). Strategy depends on rate spread, not order. Show math. Cliffhanger: "Mistake 4 undoes everything." EPISODE 4: "Compound Interest Math" (Starting late penalty) Hook: "Starting at 30 vs 25 costs you 200k." Body: $200/month at 22 years old = $840k by 65. Same $200 at 30 = $410k. Compound interest visualization (bar chart). Cliffhanger: "One final mistake ties it all together." EPISODE 5: "Your Money Identity Crisis" (Lifestyle creep) Hook: "You keep failing because you're competing with others." Body: Lifestyle inflation grows with income (raises, bonuses). Success = spending staying flat while income rises. CTA: Series complete. Watch all 5. Subscribe for weekly finance audits. PLATFORM NOTES: TikTok: Post 6-8pm EST (peak teen/young adult hours). Monday-Friday cadence (breaks Friday-Sunday). 30-45 second target length. Use on-screen text labels, retain captions for muted viewing. Instagram Reels: Shorter 15-20 sec versions, more music. YouTube Shorts: Full-length extended edits (1-2 min) in playlists.
