Choose a show, not a template

You scroll past three videos in ten seconds. Same robot voice, same stock clips, a quote in big letters. Today you plan a small show only you could make, and save it on one card.

New to AI assistants? Install ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Claude by Anthropic. Any of the three works for this course; the order is not a ranking. Sign in with your phone's Google account or your email address. No card needed. On a prompt card, tap Copy. In the message box, press and hold, tap Paste, and replace each bracket with your own words. If you are under 18, check the age rule in the app's terms before you sign up.

Why the template channel fails

Some courses sell "faceless" channels built from templates: an AI voice over stock clips, 40 times a week. YouTube won't pay for mass-produced, repetitive videos, and TikTok keeps reused material out of its main feed. The useful question: what can I show that nobody else can?

Your show in one card

A show is a viewer, a problem, and your access. Access is what you own, use, or do every day. Then pick a format, the shape every episode repeats: test and verdict, how-to, A against B, or "the mistake I see every day."

Example: Marcus Bell, a warehouse shift worker in Louisville, Kentucky, cooks after work in a small kitchen. His first idea was AI-voiced quotes over stock clips. Instead, he told an assistant the truth: shift work, a small kitchen, a drawer of cheap tools.

Help me plan a small short-video show I will make on my phone.
About me:
- My work or daily life: [your job, or what you do every day]
- Things I own or use every day: [5 to 10 products, tools, or apps]
- Where I live: [city, country]
- Platform: [TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts]
Suggest 5 show ideas. For each one, give:
1. Viewer and problem: who it is for, and the problem every episode helps with.
2. Format: a repeatable episode shape of 25 to 35 seconds.
3. My part: what I must film, test, or say in every episode that you could not make up.
4. Three example episode titles.
Rules: Use only the things I listed. No claims about money or health. Write in plain, friendly English. Short sentences. No buzzwords.
If any [bracket] above is still empty, ask me for it before you answer.

In our November 2026 test, every idea used his own tools. He picked "Keep or Skip":

Show name: Keep or Skip
For: people who cook after work in a small kitchen
Every episode: one budget tool I own, one timed test at a real dinner, one verdict
My part (never skipped): my hands, my stopwatch, one flaw shown on camera
I will never: review a tool I haven't used; call anything number one; make health claims
First 5 episodes: chopper, stretch lids, garlic press, strainer, oil sprayer
Platform: TikTok

Three questions to test any idea

1. My part. What do I add that an assistant can't invent?
2. Five in a row. Would five episodes back to back each show something new?
3. Name swap. If someone else's name were on this channel, would anyone notice? If not, it isn't yours yet.

I choose idea number [number].
Act as a strict reviewer for a video platform that does not reward repetitive, mass-produced content.
1. Score the idea from 1 to 5 for: my own input; variety between episodes; real use for the viewer. One sentence for each score.
2. Name the biggest risk of this becoming a copy-paste channel.
3. Suggest one change to the format so every episode needs something only I can provide.
4. Write my Show Card in exactly this layout, one short line per field. Keep the show name from the idea.
Show name:
For:
Every episode:
My part (never skipped):
I will never:
First 5 episodes:
Platform:
Use only what I told you. Do not invent details about my life.
Write in plain, friendly English. Short sentences. No buzzwords.
If any [bracket] above is still empty, ask me for it before you answer.

Each lesson adds one part to your Show File, from a script to a weekly routine.

The plain version: this course can't make your videos popular, get you into a program, or tell you what you'll earn. Nobody controls what a platform recommends. You control whether each video is honest, useful, and yours.
