We return from the holiday break to talk about the underrated gem Atlantis:The Lost Empire
KI-gestütztes Content Creation System: Vom Workshop-Video zum 150-seitigen Workbook Wie aus einem zehnstündigen Zoom-Workshop in weniger als drei Stunden ein vollständiges, professionelles Workbook wird? Ganz einfach: Mit der richtigen Technik, einem klaren Prozess und der Unterstützung von KI. In dieser Episode erfährst du, wie wir beim KOERTING INSTITUTE aus Videoinhalten hochwertige Lernmaterialien erzeugen, die echten Mehrwert bieten und warum das kein Hexenwerk ist, sondern ein System, das du auch in deinem Business nutzen kannst. Torsten Körting auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/torstenkoerting/ Vom Live-Workshop zum strukturierten Videoarchiv Alles begann mit einem intensiven Technik-Workshop am Samstag. Zehn Stunden Zoom-Aufzeichnung, strukturiert nach Themen wie Grundlagen, Setup-Varianten, Software wie Ecamm und OBS, Szenensteuerung, Stream Deck und vieles mehr. Jedes Thema wurde einzeln geschnitten, klar benannt und mit Transkripten angereichert – das perfekte Rohmaterial für die Weiterverarbeitung. Entscheidend ist hier: Schon beim Workshop-Design wurde mitgedacht, wie die Inhalte später wiederverwendbar sind. KI als Produktivitäts-Booster bei der Nachbereitung Die eigentliche Magie passierte am Sonntag: Aus den strukturierten Videosegmenten und Transkripten entstand innerhalb von zwei bis drei Stunden ein komplettes 150-seitiges Workbook. Der Prozess war durch KI massiv beschleunigt – von der Transkription über die Strukturierung bis hin zur Formulierung einzelner Kapitel. Statt manuell seitenweise Text zu schreiben, wurde das Wissen intelligent aus dem gesprochenen Wort herausgearbeitet und aufbereitet. Das Ergebnis: Hochwertig, passgenau und sofort einsetzbar für über 170 Teilnehmer. Content-Recycling als Business-Booster JDas Spannende an diesem System: Es ist skalierbar. Ein einmal gehaltener Workshop liefert nicht nur Impulse in Echtzeit, sondern wird zur Quelle für Blogbeiträge, Workbooks, Social-Media-Posts oder sogar Bücher. Wer Inhalte smart strukturiert und die richtigen Tools nutzt, kann seinen Output vervielfachen, ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand. Genau das ist einer der größten Hebel, den KI im Unternehmeralltag bietet: Sie macht aus einmaliger Leistung ein dauerhaft nutzbares Produkt. Fazit: Content-Produktion neu gedacht – effizient, skalierbar, smart Die Kombination aus klarer Struktur, effizienter Technik und KI-Unterstützung verändert, wie Content entsteht. Statt sich in stundenlanger Nachbereitung zu verlieren, lässt sich mit einem klugen System in wenigen Stunden hochwertiger Output erzeugen. Was früher Tage oder Wochen gedauert hätte, geht heute in einem halben Sonntag. Wenn du dein Wissen in Produkte verwandeln willst, ist jetzt der perfekte Zeitpunkt, dein eigenes System aufzubauen – mit KI als deinem Co-Creator. Noch mehr von den Koertings ...

Most creators overbuild before launching their membership.

Wondering how to start a membership or whether your audience is big enough to launch? In this episode, we walk through a simple five-step process to validate your idea, build a minimum viable membership, and attract your first paying members — even with a small following. You'll learn how top creators pre-sell their memberships, what type of content to include on day one, and the easiest way to tell if you're ready to launch.

This week's episode is a little different. A couple of weeks ago, I hosted a four-part live training series called 'Social Media for Video People' with my friends over at Ecamm. We spent an entire week breaking down how creators can save time, use smarter tools, and show up with confidence on video. And since this last workshop fell right on my normal Friday slot, I decided to bring you along for the ride.In this session, we tackled one of the biggest questions creators wrestle with: where should I be posting my videos, and how can I stand out once I do? We dug into the strengths of different platforms, how to think about repurposing content without burning out, and the little things that make your videos thumb-stopping in a crowded feed. If you weren't able to join us live, this replay gives you the full training so you can apply the same strategies right away. And if you'd like to catch the other three workshop days, covering planning, creation, and promotion, you can watch them all over on my YouTube channel.Key TakeawaysInstagram vs. TikTok vs. YouTube Shorts: Each has a different culture. Learn how to shape your video so it feels at home on the platform.Stop the scroll: Strong visuals, bold captions, and clear hooks are what grab attention in the first few seconds.Double up with email + social: Social brings people in, but email keeps them connected. Pair them for bigger impact.Growth without burnout: Build systems and repurpose smartly so you're consistent without running yourself ragged.ResourcesWorkshop Replays on YouTube:Day 1: Social Strategy for Video CreatorsDay 2: How to Use AI for Video Graphics & Social ContentDay 3: AI for Editing & Repurposing Video Like a ProCheck out Conor Brown at VacationKingdoms.comGrab some popcorn and visit Katie's personal podcast: TheVHSClubPod.com----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15SocialMediaNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.
