INTRODUCTION: You Don’t Have to Be Popular to Start… Just Brave
I can assure you that content creation isn’t about being perfect, beautiful, or having 10,000 followers. It’s about showing up, sharing your voice, and solving a problem — with your personality, your creativity, and your pro camera or phone camera.
I’ve helped dozens of young men and women like you — shy ones, funny ones, confused ones — discover their own style of content creation. Now, it’s your turn.
Things You Should Learn — And Start Using Immediately
This isn’t a theory-only guide. I’ll show you the practice tools, settings, and techniques I’ve used to help young creators become pros — the tools are in the chapters.
CHAPTER 1: Finding Your Voice
When I started creating content, I didn’t know what my niche was. I thought, Should I dance? Teach? Act like someone else? Talk about relationships? I tried it all — and flopped, a lot.
Then one day, I posted a simple 45-second video telling a true story about how I overcame shame. No music, no filter. Just me, talking. That video got over 30,000 views in two days — more than anything I had done before. Why? Because it was real. It was natural. That was the day I discovered my true voice.
Now, let me help you find yours.
🧭 Start with “Your Why”
Before you ever hit “record” or write your first caption, ask yourself:
❓Why do I want to create content?
- To inspire people?
- To promote a business?
- To teach something?
- To make people laugh?
Write this down. Circle your answer. Your why will shape the tone of your videos, the type of content you’ll produce, and the platform you’ll focus on.
📒 My Tip: "The clearer your why, the stronger your voice."
🔍 Choose Your Content Personality
Now let’s find out what type of creator you are. Look at these profiles and pick the one that feels closest to your heart:
The Educator – You love teaching. You explain things clearly, whether it’s how to bake, how to budget, or how to use a new app.
The Entertainer – You’re naturally funny, dramatic, witty. You enjoy acting, storytelling, lip-syncs, or dance.
The Inspirer – You’re passionate about motivating others with stories, reflections, or daily encouragements.
The Documenter – You love showing behind-the-scenes, “a day in my life,” or “before and after” videos.
The Seller – You create content that highlights a product, service, or offer — in a way that doesn’t feel like an ad.
You don’t have to stick to one category forever, but identifying your strength now helps you build a focused audience.
📽 Real-Life Story: Meet Dayo the Quiet Guy
Dayo was one of the shyest boys I ever met. Soft-spoken, always hiding at the back in my class. But one day, he showed me a note: he had written ten funny skit ideas about anxiety in church. I encouraged him to try acting them out on his phone.
The first one got only 58 views. The third one hit 10,000 views. Now he gets invited to mental health conferences as a content speaker — all because he leaned into his story, his struggle, and his strength.
Remember, my student Dayo didn’t fake a big personality. He just found a creative way to be himself.
🎬 Your Starter Exercise
Here’s how to find and sharpen your creative voice today:
- Write a short list of 5 topics you enjoy talking about
- Record a 30-second video on one of those topics (just for practice — don’t post yet)
- Watch it back, and ask:
- Does this feel natural or forced?
- Did I sound like myself?
- Could I teach/act/share this kind of content consistently?
- Try again with a different style — maybe with humor, or with a more serious tone
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s honesty. You’ll know you’ve found your voice when your content feels like a conversation, not a show.
📌 My Golden Advice
Don’t try to go viral first. Try to connect. Also, do not wait till you have better this and better that. Start where you are. Don’t fake it. You will last longer being real.
CHAPTER 2: Tools of the Trade
“A creative mind backed by the right tools is a weapon the internet can’t ignore.”
— says me, Risi
I remember when I started creating content, all I had was my phone, one ring light, and a creative mind. With time, I discovered the power of simple tools - free apps, mobile-friendly gear, and smart tricks - that transformed my basic content into scroll-stopping gems.
Now, let me show you the way to build your content toolkit from scratch.
🧠 1. ChatGPT — Your Brainstorming Companion
When your ideas run dry or your script feels dull, ChatGPT becomes your creative co-pilot. You can use it to:
- Generate fresh video ideas
- Write short skit scripts
- Draft captions for Instagram & TikTok
- Get marketing angles for product ads
🔧 Key Features to Know:
Prompt Box: Type in clear, specific requests (e.g., “Write a 60-sec skit about procrastination”)
Regenerate Response: Get a new version if the first one doesn’t spark joy
Custom Instructions: Train it to understand your voice and content style
Save Threads: Store your best ideas for reuse or future editing
🎨 2. Canva — The Creator’s Design Toolbox
Even if you’ve never studied graphic design, with Canva you will create:
- YouTube thumbnails
- Instagram carousels
- Business product ads
- Intro screens and lower-thirds for videos
- Quote cards and story templates
🔧 Important Icons Inside Canva:
Templates: Start with ready-made layouts
Elements: Add icons, animations, and shapes
Resize: Instantly adapt one design to fit all platforms
Download Settings: Save in PNG, JPEG, MP4, or PDF formats
📱 3. Camera Setup — Phone or DSLR? Both Work!
Let me say this clearly: You can create professional-level content with just your phone. But if you happen to have a DSLR camera, even better — let me show you how to maximize both.
📲 Smartphone Settings (Android & iPhone)
Make sure your camera settings are set for high-quality video:
Resolution: 1080p or 4K
Frame Rate: 60fps (smooth motion)
Gridlines: For proper composition
Lock Exposure & Focus: Tap and hold on your subject before recording
💡 My Tip: Download Open Camera (Android) or use Pro Camera apps (iPhone) for more control.
📷 Nikon / DSLR Camera Settings
You got a Nikon or similar camera? Make sure to use these settings:
Mode: Manual (M)
ISO: 400–800 indoors, 100–200 in daylight
Aperture: f/2.8 – f/4 for a blurry background
Shutter Speed: Double your frame rate (e.g., 1/125 for 60fps)
White Balance: Match your lighting (e.g., ‘Daylight’ for sun, ‘Tungsten’ for bulb)
When filming, use a tripod for stability and an external mic if available.
💡 4. Lighting: Natural vs. Artificial
Good lighting makes even a cheap camera look expensive. If you're recording indoors, I highly recommend the following:
🔘 Ring Light Setup:
Size: 12" to 18"
Placement: Center or 45° angle from your face
Height: Eye level or slightly above
Diffuser: Use the soft filter ring that comes with it
🌞 Natural Light Setup:
- Sit facing a window, not with your back to it
- Avoid harsh midday sun — shoot in the morning or late afternoon
- Use light-colored walls or curtains to bounce and soften the light
🗣️ My TIP: “Even if all you have for now is sunlight and a white bedsheet, you can do it”
🤖 5. Google VEO 3 — Ai Video Creation Master
This is the future, and it’s already here.
Google VEO 3 allows you to create realistic video scenes from text.
🔧 Workflow Overview:
Choose prompt style (narrative, cinematic, product demo)
Input a clear script. Select tone, characters, visuals. Let Ai render your full video and you're good.
✂️ 6. CapCut — Your Personal Video Studio
A free video editing app I recommend for both beginners and pros. With it, you can:
Cut and trim. Add text/captions. Include music and voiceover. Add cinematic transitions. Resize for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube.
🔧 Key Icons to Master:
Trim/Split (✂️): For cutting and splicing scenes
Text (T): Add auto-captions, stylized fonts
Audio: Add background music, fade-ins, or voiceovers
Effects & Transitions: Zoom, fade, slide
Format Resize: 9:16 (TikTok), 1:1 (IG Feed), 16:9 (YouTube)
You now know the complete toolkit to get going. Start practicing and keep fast.
CHAPTER 3: Planning, Scripting & Shooting for Personal Brands
“Most scroll-stopping video you see started with a simple plan — not expensive gear.”
– says me, Rachel Risi
It’s time to start bringing your creativity to life — with a clear plan, a strong script, and simple shooting techniques that’ll make your videos look great.
Let me show you all you need to create...
📔 Step 1: Start with a Strong Concept
A good video starts with a relatable idea. Something that makes your audience say: “That’s so true!”
Ask yourself:
What would I love to see if I was scrolling online today?
💡 Example Ideas:
- “Why I always overthink everything” (Comedy skit)
- “Things people do when they’re crushing on someone” (Dual character)
🧠 Step 2: Scripting Made Easy (even lady writers)
Always simplify your writing with the “HHCCR” script formula. Need help writing something creative? Type your idea into ChatGPT like this:
“Write a short skit script in the HHCCR format about someone trying to wake up early but always failing.”
Boom. You’ll get a script you can tweak.
🎭 Step 3: Acting Alone? Here’s How to Make it Pop
Whether you’re playing 1 or 5 characters, here’s how I make it work:
🎤 One-Person Monologue:
Speak directly to camera. Keep eye contact strong. Use hand gestures, face expressions.
👥 One-Person, Dual Character:
Record the first character’s lines. Change clothes/angle, record the second character. Use CapCut to split and arrange the dialogues.
💡 My Tip: Leave 3–5 seconds of space between lines to give editing room.
👨👩👧 Multi-Character Skits:
Use props like glasses, hats, or wigs. Film all scenes separately — stitch them later. Talk off-camera when "interacting" with another character.
🛠 My Pro Editing Tip: Use CapCut’s split screen or mirror effects to create illusion of multiple people.
🎬 Step 4: Frame & Shoot Like a Pro (with Your Phone)
Great videos start with great framing. Here’s how to shoot videos that feel polished — even without a crew.
📱 Camera Setup Tips:
Use the rear camera for better quality. Place phone at eye level. Use gridlines to follow the rule of thirds. Record in landscape (YouTube) or portrait (TikTok/IG) depending on platform.
🎬 My Tip: Do not be shy to improvise.
💡 Step 5: Sound & Setting
Sound is more important than most beginners think. Viewers can forgive blurry video — but never bad audio.
🎙 Improve Sound Without a Mic:
Record in a quiet space (close doors/windows). Use soft furnishings to reduce echo (curtains, clothes). Speak clearly and confidently. Avoid facing noisy fans or air conditioners
👩🏽🦱 Real-Life Story: How Anita Went Viral in a Nightgown
Anita was a quiet university student who started making videos in her dorm room — always in her pink flowered nightgown. She didn’t have lighting or soundproofing, but her acting was funny and relatable.
One of her videos, about how Nigerian mums treat visitors, hit 1.2 million views on Facebook.
People didn’t care about her gear — they connected with her realness. Today, she has a monetized YouTube channel and gets invited to act in brand campaigns.
Moral of the story: Use what you have — and act your heart out.
📌 My Go-To Video Checklist Before I Hit Record:
✔ Is my script clear and timed for 30 to 60 seconds?
✔ Is my camera position stable and at eye level?
✔ Am I recording in the right orientation for the platform?
✔ Is my background clean and lighting soft?
✔ Is my voice clear with no background noise?
✔ Do I have space between lines for easier editing?
CHAPTER 4: Creating Professional Content for Businesses
“Content creation will feed if you consistently solve other people's emotional, humour, looks or financial problems.”
– says me, Rachel Risi
🎯 What Makes Business Content Different?
Business content isn’t just about expression — it’s about results. You’re not just entertaining anymore; you’re communicating value, solving a need, and triggering buying emotions.
A good business content must:
Catch attention in the first 3 seconds. Highlight a real customer problem. Show the product or service as the hero. Include a clear Call to Action (CTA).
💼 Types of Business Content You Can Create
Whether it’s your own product or someone else’s brand, here are common content formats that work wonders:
1. Testimonial-Style Video
2. Before-and-After Skit
3. Problem-Solution Skit (use humor or exaggeration to drive impact)
4. Unboxing or Demo (step-by-step walkthrough)
📝 How to Plan Business Content
🧩 The “PHEC” Structure:
Problem – A relatable issue the audience faces
Hook – Why they should keep watching
Experience – Use or explain the product/service
Call to Action – What they should do next
CHAPTER 5: Video Editing & Graphic Design Made Simple
You must not have a laptop to do a good job editing your videos, it's cool if available. But with your phone and a little patience, you're already equipped.
✂️ Your Editing Studio in Your Pocket: CapCut
CapCut is one of the best free video editing apps in the world. It’s perfect for:
Skits - Reels - YouTube Shorts - Ad videos - Tutorials - even Short Films.
Available for Android, iPhone, and desktop.
CHAPTER 6: Exploring Ai Tools — Google VEO 3
“The future of social media belongs to those who learn and create with what’s coming.”
– says me, Rachel Risi
When I first heard of Google VEO 3, I thought it was just another Ai gimmick. But the day I saw a 30-second video created from just a text prompt, I sat down quietly and said: “Wow, this is impressive!”
🎯 What You Can Use Google VEO 3 For
✅ Intro Videos – Create stunning opening scenes for your YouTube channel
✅ Background Footage – Use AI clips to add flair to your vlogs, ads, or storytelling
✅ Faceless Videos – Great if you're camera-shy or building multiple content brands
✅ Mock Commercials – Create product ads for a brand before you even shoot the real thing
✅ Creative Storytelling – Make mini-movies, trailers, or scenes from fictional ideas
CHAPTER 7: Publishing Like a Pro – YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook & X
The best video in the world means nothing if nobody sees it. I once mentored a brilliant young man, Emeka, who made fantastic videos. But he would just post them casually, no proper captions, no strategy. Hence, his views stayed stuck under 100.
When I fixed the posting settings and all, one of his videos hit 75k views in four days — same quality, just better sharing strategy.
📌 Your Posting Checklist
✅ Is my video format correct for this platform?
✅ Did I write a clear, engaging caption?
✅ Did I include relevant hashtags?
✅ Is my thumbnail or cover image eye-catching?
✅ Did I schedule/post at the best time?
✅ Did I respond to early comments?
CHAPTER 8: Building Audience & Engagement — Trends, Timing & Trust
“You don’t need everyone on social media to like you. You just need the right people to care about what you do and they'll push you.”
– says me , Rachel Risi
I remember a young guy, Junior, who contacted me after his first to fifth video all flopped. He said, “Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”
I told him, “The video is not the problem — you just haven’t built your own audience yet.”
You see, content creation is not just about posting. It’s about building a community. A tribe. An audience that waits for your next video or text post. That laughs with you, buys from you, and tells others about you.
👣 My 7-Step Path to Loyal Audience
- Show your face — Let them know who you are
- Post consistently — Even if just 1x/week
- Talk to them — Comments, stories, captions
- Add value — Make them laugh, learn, or feel
- Use trends — But always in your own voice
- Be patient — Community grows slowly, not suddenly
- Keep going — Your people will find you
🎯 FINALLY: How To Make Money as a Content Creator
Engagement is the heartbeat of your brand. Don’t chase views — chase connection.
Once you build an audience that trusts you, everything becomes easier: monetization, collaborations, product sales, and influence.
Then the money will come, and even more. #
