How I Cut My Short-Form Video Workflow From 30 Minutes to 5—And Rekindled My Excitement for Content Creation

A funny thing happens when you build wealth with content creation.

You start to realize just how powerful it is.

One idea, one video, one message—duplicated, multiplied, amplified—can bring in targeted streams of quality traffic, leads, and sales while you sleep.

And with the rise of short-form video, the ability to be omnipresent across multiple platforms at once has never been easier… or so I thought.

The Agonizing Pain of Watching The Seconds Of My LIfe Tick Away

Despite the obvious potential, I found myself dreading the thought of actually doing it.

  • Logging into multiple platforms.
  • Writing and rewriting titles, descriptions, and hashtags.
  • Watching progress bars creep along like molasses in January.
  • Waiting. And waiting. And watching in agony, as each platform took their sweet time to accept, render & publish.

By the time I finished manually posting everywhere, I’d lost valuable time, energy, and worst of all—momentum.

I’d be drained.

The Breaking Point & AI Assisted Ephiphany

I’d had enought & knew there had to be a better way, so did some deep research with Grok 3 to find a solution.

boom.

The heavens opened.

An automation tool appeared, promising to eliminate all the soul-sucking, time-wasting steps i’d been dreading

The 10-Minute Setup That Changed Everything

I signed up for the free trial.

Logged in.

Clicked a few buttons to connect my accounts and set up my workflow.

Total time invested: 10–15 minutes.

Then came the test. Would it work?

Yesterday morning, I uploaded a short-form video to TikTok.

And like magic

✨ That same video was automatically published on:
✅ My Facebook fan page as a Reel
✅ YouTube as a Short
✅ Instagram as a Reel

The only thing it didn’t do was post to my Facebook profile—but that was easy enough to do manually.

Time spent before: 30+ minutes per video.
Time spent now: Less than 5 minutes.

More Videos. More Traffic. More Momentum.

Imagine how much time this will save over the next year.

The next five years.

The compounding effect of that reclaimed time is insane.

Best of all? Im excited to publish short-form videos again.

The One Downside… (& Easy Fix)

The free trial doesn’t include posting to X (Twitter)—but I’m guessing that unlocks when I switch to a paid plan.

I’ll let you know for sure when that happens.

All the best,
