They all partner with micro-creators like YOU, and I've secured their decision-maker contacts for YOU 😍

Truly, now is the time to pitch brands for end-of-summer and holiday partnerships if you want to make money this year.

Brands are finalizing holiday partnerships now for three main reasons:

  1. They plan their holiday marketing budgets early. Pitching ahead ensures you secure a part of that budget.

  1. During the holiday rush, influencers flood brands for partnerships. Pitch early to stand out and secure your spot.

  1. During the holiday rush, brands are swamped with internal deadlines. Secure partnerships early to streamline calendars and fine-tune campaigns together for the best outcomes.

Sometimes coming up with fresh content ideas is the hardest part! 😭 

That’s why I wanted to give you 15 fresh and creative high engagement prompts for your next viral videos 👀 

(I’ll share how to use them in different niches below.)

  1. "Unpopular Opinion" Challenge: Share an unpopular opinion about a trend in your niche. Cue the debates and discussions in the comments!

  2. Flash Tutorial: Break down a complex skill or task into easy-to-follow steps in under 30 seconds. Add a catchy tune for rhythm.

  3. “Before They Were Famous” Series: Showcase the early and lesser-known works of renowned artists, musicians, or professionals in your field.

  4. "If I Were In Charge" Scenario: Explain one change you’d make if you were in charge of a popular brand, movie, or event for a day.

  5. DIY Hack Duel: Collaborate with another content creator. Each shares a DIY hack for a common problem, and fans vote on which one they prefer.

  6. Historical Throwback: Take a trend from today and imagine how it would be executed in the 1800s, 1920s, 1980s, etc. Dress the part!

  7. Fantasy Crossover: Merge two popular movies, books, or series and act out a scene. What if Harry Potter met Star Wars?

  8. Reverse Action Challenge: Do something backward (like unwrapping and eating a candy) and then reverse the video so it appears normal but with a quirky twist.

  9. "Life Swap" Segment: Switch roles with someone for a day. If you're a city dweller, trade places with someone in the countryside, showcasing the humorous contrast.

  10. Mystery Sound Game: Play a mysterious sound and let followers guess what it is. Reveal the answer in the next Reel.

  11. Emoji Storytelling: Pick 5 random emojis from comments and create a spontaneous mini-story or scenario using them.

  12. “Reality vs. Movie” Comparison: Showcase how certain actions or scenes would play out in real life versus their often exaggerated movie counterparts.

  13. Pet Interview: Have a "conversation" with a pet (yours or a friend's). Dub their voice and let them share their “thoughts” on a funny topic.

  14. One Prop, Five Uses: Take a common household item and showcase five unexpected ways it can be used, especially outside of its intended purpose.

  15. “Wishful Collabs” Sequence: Pick two celebrities or influencers you wish would collaborate, impersonate them, and imagine what their joint project might look like.

Remember, the most effective prompts are those that invite interaction and are relevant to the influencer's niche and the interests of their followers.
