✍🏼 AI PROMPT CORNER
3 Steps to Create TikTok or IG Videos That Stick Every Single Time
Want to create videos that actually work?
Follow this simple formula:
(I’ll explain how this connects to the Gremlins at the end.)
1. Hook: Start with a Universal Theme
Grab attention by tapping into something everyone can relate to.
Example:
“Self-doubt is the silent killer of dreams.”
“We all have that one moment that changed everything.”
“Why is it so hard to believe in yourself?”
The goal? Stop the scroll and make them think, “Wait, that’s me.”
2. Story: Take Them Deeper
Once you’ve hooked them, share your personal connection to the theme. This is where you build trust and authenticity.
Example:
“I almost quit music because I thought I wasn’t good enough. But then…”
“I wrote this song during a time when I felt completely lost.”
“Here’s how I learned to silence my inner critic.”
Keep it relatable but specific enough to make it your story.
3. CTA: Drive Action
End with a clear, simple call-to-action that invites them to take the next step.
Example:
“If this resonates, check out my new single — link in bio!”
“Drop a 🎶 in the comments if you’ve ever felt this way.”
“Follow for more raw stories about chasing your dreams.”
Make it easy for them to engage or learn more.
Pro Tips to Level Up:
Keep Your Bio Simple: If you want people to take 1 specific action (like streaming your music, signing up to your membership or signing up to your newsletter), remove the clutter. Use one link!
Plan Your Content: Every time you release a song, create a content strategy around it. Turn key themes or lyrics into TikTok hooks.
Use Universal Themes: Start broad (“We’ve all been there”), then dive into your unique perspective.
Want Scripts That Hit Every Time?

He Proposed to His Girlfriend and Headlined a Rap Show in 24 hours — Here’s How It Went Down
December 22, 2018, was a day Michael Jacob will never forget.
It was the day he achieved 2 huge milestones—but I’ll let him tell you more.
Michael grew up loving hip-hop, inspired by its ‘start from the bottom’ mentality.
Today, he’s the founder of Lemonaide AI, a platform that helps musicians create beats and melodies using artificial intelligence.
But back in 2018, he was balancing his music career with a day job.
Dreaming of blending music and tech.
Life was about to hand him 2 unforgettable moments — on the same day.
How did he pull it off?
How did he make both moments special without letting either one down?
And how did this day shape the person he is today?
This story is about love, passion, and the power of following your dreams.
It’s a reminder to celebrate the journey — not just the destination.

Why This Works: The Gremlins Lesson
Remember the golden rule in Gremlins?
Don’t feed them after midnight, don’t get them wet, and don’t expose them to bright light.
Break the rules, and chaos ensues.
Creating TikTok videos is kind of the same.
Stick to the formula: Hook, Story, CTA.
Break it, and you risk losing your audience to the chaos of the scroll.
The lesson? Structure creates magic. Whether you’re raising mogwais or growing your TikTok, following the right rules leads to success.
So, go ahead — craft your content with intention, and watch your audience grow.
Just don’t feed it after midnight.
Always rooting for you,
