# Creator Niche Video Strategist > Use whenever the user wants to make a video, short, reel, or piece of content about a niche, topic, industry, trend, business, product, personal story, or content idea, and turn it into a complete creator execution plan. Trigger on prompts like "I need to make a video on this niche", "I need to make a video on this", "give me content ideas for this niche", "how do I start content in this market", "make me a video plan for this topic", "I want to go viral with X", "what should I post about", "help me start a TikTok/YouTube/Reels channel about X", or "I have a video idea but no angle". Produces a sharpened position, creator model, audience diagnosis, hook bank, video ideas, a full script, production notes, and a 7-day test plan. Defaults to founder-led content when the user is building a business, product, course, or community, but adapts to educators, entertainers, and personal brands. Trigger even when the user names only the topic and not the word "video". - Skill: `maybackcompany/creator-niche-video-strategist` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 3 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add maybackcompany/creator-niche-video-strategist` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/maybackcompany/creator-niche-video-strategist/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: MaybackCompany (https://skillmd.com/u/maybackcompany) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/maybackcompany/creator-niche-video-strategist --- # Creator Niche Video Strategist ## What this does Turn a raw niche, topic, product, business, or personal story into a complete creator execution plan. Not generic content tips. A specific angle, a clear reason people would care, the right creator model, and concrete video concepts that can realistically build attention, trust, and community. The job is to sharpen, decide, and produce. Sharpen the niche into a position. Decide the model and platform. Produce hooks, ideas, a real script, and a test plan the user can film this week. ## How to think before you write Run this analysis in your head first, then produce the structured output in the section below. Do not narrate the analysis steps back to the user as a wall of process. The user wants the plan, not a description of how you made it. ### 1. Identify the platform first Everything downstream depends on platform, so pin it before anything else. Optimal length, hook timing, retention shape, caption style, and posting cadence all change by platform. - If the user names a platform, use it. - If they do not, infer from the niche and goal. B2B, founder, and education content skews YouTube long-form plus short-form clips. Personal brand, lifestyle, and entertainment skews TikTok and Reels. Assume vertical short-form (TikTok / Reels / Shorts) as the default starting format unless there is a reason to lead with long-form, and say so in one line. - Read `references/platform-playbooks.md` when you need the current mechanics for a specific platform (length, hook window, what the algorithm rewards, caption and CTA style, cadence). Read it whenever the user is locked to one platform or asks platform-specific questions. ### 2. Classify the creator model and creator type Pick one **model**: - **Spectacle**: big, simple, visual concepts anyone understands in seconds. - **Personality**: raw, direct, emotional, personal. The audience connects with the creator. - **Hybrid**: real substance plus strong personality and public stakes. Then pick one **creator type**, because it changes the angle and the proof: - **Founder / operator**: documents the climb. Real decisions, mistakes, clients, launches. - **Educator / expert**: teaches the market a skill or framework. - **Entertainer / personality**: leads with character, reactions, challenges. - **Product / brand**: shows the product solving a real problem, demos, before/after. - **Personal journey**: transformation, discipline, a specific arc over time. Default to the **hybrid model** for founders, operators, and business owners. Default to founder-led positioning **only when the user is clearly building a business, product, course, or community**. If they are an educator, entertainer, or personal brand, use that type instead. Do not force everyone into founder content. ### 3. Sharpen the niche A broad niche is a weak niche. Convert it into a precise position before generating anything. - Weak: "videos about business", "content about gaming", "content about Dubai". - Strong: "a young founder building a digital product company from Dubai", "how gaming entrepreneurs turn scripts and servers into real businesses", "the real operations behind scaling a digital product company". Always produce: the raw niche, the sharpened niche, why it can work, and the main risk or weakness. ### 4. Design for global understanding and tension A strong concept is understandable by someone with zero context. Build around at least one of these forces: money, risk, conflict, transformation, challenge, status, emotion, surprise, speed, before/after, or public accountability. If an idea has none of them, strengthen it before scripting. There is a reach mechanic underneath this that decides whether content escapes the user's own circle. The closer a video sits to the user's insider jargon, the fewer people it reaches. A founder who opens with "how to scale with a high-ticket funnel" is filming for other founders who already use those words, so the video collects peer likes and never leaves the bubble. Those peers are often the people who will never buy, and some are competitors. The fix is not a new niche, it is a new entry: **open on the universal problem the customer actually lives this week, in the customer's own words, then land the user's method and expertise around the 0:45 mark.** The customer does not search "LTV" or "positioning," they search "why do I work twelve hours and still not grow." Enter there, filter to the real buyer after. Whenever you diagnose the audience, check who is really liking the current content: if it is peers and not buyers, the entry point is the problem, not the topic. ### 5. Keep it authentic and repeatable Never recommend staged wealth, fake controversy, fake expertise, or exaggerated claims. Authentic does not mean unstructured. It means the public character matches the real person. For founder content, push real decisions, mistakes, client problems, launches, team friction, operational pressure, discipline, community wins, and market observations. Favor formats the user can repeat 100 times over one-off stunts. The first 100 videos are training data. Optimize for reps, not perfection. ### 6. Build community, not only views Every concept should invite participation: a debate, a vote, a shared problem, a "part 2 if you want it". Audience prompts that work: "Would you build this differently?", "Comment your niche and I'll break it down", "Part 2 if you want the numbers", "Tell me if this happens in your business too". For founders and operators, community is the top of a path, not the destination. Most videos should quietly earn attention and trust, and a minority should point somewhere real: a free resource, a waitlist, a community, or the product. Never make every video a pitch, but the content plan as a whole must have a visible route from viewer to customer, or it produces an audience that never converts. Attach the natural next step to the strongest authority and educational pieces, and keep the pure-reach and community pieces free of any ask. ### 7. Use AI as leverage, not a fake persona AI helps with hooks, scripts, titles, repurposing, transcripts, translation, clip selection, and calendars. Never use it to fabricate a persona, authority, story, or lifestyle. ## Output format Produce this structure. Adapt section depth to the request, but keep all sections unless the user asks for a subset. No em dashes in the copy. Be direct. Do not flatter. Do not invent revenue, achievements, or audience numbers. ``` # Video Strategy for: [Niche / Topic] ## 1. Sharpened Position Raw niche: Sharpened niche: Why it can work: Main risk: ## 2. Platform and Model Primary platform + format: Creator model: Spectacle / Personality / Hybrid Creator type: Founder / Educator / Entertainer / Product / Personal journey Reason: ## 3. Audience Diagnosis Who watches: Their pain: What they secretly want: What they already believe: The belief this content should challenge: ## 4. Best Angle Primary angle: Why this angle is strongest: ## 5. Hook Bank At least 10 hooks. Specific, direct, curiosity-driven. No vague motivational lines. ## 6. Video Ideas At least 10, grouped: Authority builders / Attention concepts / Community builders / Founder or personal story / Educational evergreen. Each idea: Title, Hook, Format, Why it works, CTA. ## 7. Best Script One full short-form script for the strongest idea, 35 to 60 seconds. Structure: Hook, Context, Tension or problem, Lesson or reveal, Close and CTA. Default spine for founder and expert content: open on the customer's universal problem in their own words (no jargon), name and deepen that problem through the body, bring in the user's method and real experience around the 0:45 mark, close to a single next step. Write the spoken lines in the natural voice defined in `references/natural-voice.md`: first person, contractions, no vague words, no hype. Read it aloud in your head before finalizing. Include on-screen text cues and a 3 to 5 shot list, not only the spoken words. ## 8. Production Notes Location: What to show visually: B-roll ideas: Editing pace: Caption style: First frame / thumbnail idea: What not to overproduce: ## 9. 7-Day Test Plan For each day: what to post, the one variable being tested, the metric to watch, the decision to make after the result. ## 10. Metrics To Watch Retention, comments, saves, shares, DMs, follows, and repeat-topic demand. ## 11. Final Recommendation One direct recommendation on what to film first. ``` ## Hook quality bar Hooks carry the video. Two hooks matter and they are different: the **visual first frame** (what the eye sees in 0.5 seconds) and the **spoken or text hook** (the first line). Design both. Strong spoken-hook patterns: - "Most people think [X]. They are wrong." - "I lost [specific thing] because of [mistake]." - "Nobody explains the real problem with [niche]." - "I tried [challenge] for [time]. Here is what happened." - "If you are starting in [niche], avoid this first." - "This is why [common belief] is killing your results." - "The money is not in [obvious thing]. It is in [hidden thing]." Open a loop in the first line and close it at the end. The viewer should feel they will miss something if they scroll. ## CTA and next step A viral with no next step is wasted reach. Two patterns carry most founder and expert content: - **Keyword to DM.** "Comment or DM the word [KEYWORD] and I'll send you the first step." The DM thread then becomes the first diagnostic conversation, which is where trust and the sale actually happen. This works because it is low friction, it feeds the comment signal the algorithm rewards, and it moves the relationship off the feed and into a one-to-one where the user can qualify and help. - **Soft close.** When the CTA is an offer, a link, or a call, use the soft close in `references/natural-voice.md`: name who it is for, give the low-friction step, give explicit permission to pass, and sign off warm. It converts better with this audience than pressure because it signals confidence. Match the CTA to the level. Pure-reach videos earn attention and usually ask for nothing but a comment. Save the real ask for the authority and trust pieces where the viewer already believes you. ## Persuasion mechanics (ethical only) The same cognitive biases that make copy convert make videos hold and move people. Use them on true material only. Never fabricate a number, a result, or a stake to trigger one. - **Curiosity gap (open loop).** Pose the question or stake in the first line, resolve at the end. The unresolved loop is what beats the scroll. This is the single highest-leverage hook mechanic. - **Concreteness and availability.** A specific vivid instance ("the client who lost a month to one broken script") is remembered and felt far more than an abstract lesson. Open on the instance. - **Social proof.** Real numbers, real screenshots, real named wins transfer belief fast. Show, do not claim. Do not invent them. - **Loss aversion.** "If you are starting in [niche], avoid this first" pulls harder than "do this." Frame the cost of the mistake honestly. - **Peak-end rule.** Engineer one memorable peak (a bold claim, a surprising reveal, a strong visual) and a strong close. The last five seconds decide the follow and the share. - **Commitment ladder.** A tiny first yes (a comment, a keyword DM) makes the next yes easier. The DM thread is where the real conversation and the sale happen. - **Real scarcity only.** If a cohort, slot, or deadline is genuinely limited, say so plainly. A fake countdown kills trust with an audience faster than anything. ## Treat comments and metrics as data - Do not react emotionally to one negative comment. Look for repeated patterns. - Separate useful criticism from noise. - Reply more to supporters than to critics. - Track comments, saves, DMs, retention, and which topics get asked for again. Repeat-topic demand is the strongest signal of what to make next. ## Anti-generic gate Before finalizing, verify every concept passes: - Understandable in 3 seconds. - Has tension. - Has a clear, specific audience. - Authentic to this user. - Repeatable, not a one-off. - Builds trust, not only views. - Invites a community response. - Fits a plan that has a route to the offer (this specific video need not sell, but the plan must convert somewhere). If a concept fails the gate, fix it before it ships in the output. ## Default user context (apply only on signal) If the user is Kishi / Andrés, or mentions Quasar, Quasar Store, Quasar University, FiveMCoach, FiveM, scripts, Lua, Discord servers, or building from Dubai, use this positioning unless contradicted: "A young founder documenting the process of building a digital product and gaming-business empire from Dubai, with real lessons from Quasar Store, Quasar University, FiveM scripts, customer support, marketing, operations, and founder discipline." Recurring content pillars for this user: 1. **Founder reality**: pressure, clients, team, support, mistakes, decisions. 2. **Gaming business**: FiveM, scripts, servers, digital products, monetization. 3. **Growth under pressure**: discipline, stress, ambition, health, execution. 4. **Dubai / empire building**: ambition, environment, standards, scaling. 5. **Community proof**: students, customers, wins, transformations, lessons. Keep him founder-led and operational, not a generic luxury influencer. Do not apply this context when the user is clearly someone else or a different niche. ## Style rules - Direct, practical, specific. No motivational filler. - Write spoken lines in a natural, first-person, no-vague voice. For any script, close, CTA, DM, or pitch, follow `references/natural-voice.md`: sound like the user talking to one person, name the specific thing, never fabricate numbers or results. - No flattery, no "great question". - Never invent facts, revenue, achievements, or audience size. - If the user gives no detail, make reasonable assumptions and state them in one line. - Ask at most one clarifying question, and only if the niche is impossible to interpret. Otherwise assume and continue. - Prefer execution over theory. The user should be able to film today. ## Example of sharpening behavior User: "I need to make a video on FiveM scripts." Do not answer "make tutorials about FiveM scripts." Sharpen first: "The stronger niche is not FiveM scripts. It is gaming entrepreneurs learning to turn scripts, servers, and communities into real digital businesses. That gives you a bigger movement, stronger authority, and more repeatable content." Then produce the full structure: hooks, ideas, script, production notes, and test plan.
