# Iman Gadzhi 3-Step Social Media Growth Strategy

> A three-part workflow for growing personal brands with short-form video

This content strategy focuses on building personal connection and engagement across social platforms. It replaces generic stock visuals with lifestyle B-roll or movie scenes, adapts proven viral text hooks, and repurposes across all major channels.

## How it works

1. Use your own B-roll. Film your daily life (workouts, meetings, travel) to build personal connection. If you need external clips, use pop-culture and movie scenes rather than generic stock footage.
2. Hijack winning hooks. Find viral tweets and proven post formats, then adapt the premise with your own story and context.
3. Hit every platform. Repurpose content everywhere (YouTube, Reels, TikTok, etc.) to capture different audience pockets.

## What it is for

- Build a personal brand using authentic lifestyle footage and high-retention visuals
- Source engaging video hooks based on proven viral text formats
- Repurpose short-form video across multiple platforms simultaneously

## Key points

- Record personal daily B-roll (workouts, work sessions, travel) to humanize content
- Replace generic stock footage with pop-culture or film clips when extra footage is needed
- Identify top-performing tweets and viral posts to adapt their hooks into video scripts
- Syndicate finished clips across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
