Let’s cut the crap:
You don’t need a content team.
You need a camera (your phone), a reason, and a few solid video ideas for founders to get started.
If you’re tired of hearing “we’re still in pre-production,” this post is your green light.
Here are 10 dead-simple, no-excuse video ideas you can film today — no lighting setup, no crew required.
1. Answer the Question You Keep Getting Asked
If one customer asked it, 20 more are wondering.
Say the question out loud, then answer it like a human.
2. Show What You’re Working On Today
Behind-the-scenes = trust.
Just show the real. People connect with what’s unpolished.
3. Drop a Hot Take About Your Industry
Say the thing no one’s saying.
Make noise. Position yourself as a straight shooter.
4. Film a 60-Second Product Demo
What does your product actually do?
Show it. Narrate it. Done.
5. Record a Quick Customer Win
Highlight a small success.
Results beat reviews every time.
6. Share a Mistake You Made
Lesson + humility = connection.
People trust founders who are real.
7. Film a “How to Get Started” Mini-Guide
Break it into 3 steps.
Make life easier for first-timers.
8. Talk About What’s Next
Share your roadmap, launch, or idea.
People love feeling like insiders.
9. Repurpose a Blog Post Into a Video
