Task Library
Run a volume-first recording session that produces 50 short raw clips in one sitting, filling the Content Factory's intake queue for weeks.
Category: Content Factory – Produce
Use this when the Content Library intake is running dry, or a new brand needs a content runway fast – volume beats perfection.
Inputs
- A prepared list of 50 real customer questions from the Topic Wheel WHAT ring (prep the list BEFORE the session – see
map-out-one-minute-video-topics-using-topic-wheel) - A phone, charged, with ample storage; one fixed setup at eye level in a real setting
- The person who answers these questions in real life
- A 2-3 hour block with no interruptions; access to the Content Library Drive folder
Steps
- Print or display the 50-question list. Order it so related questions cluster – momentum carries answers forward.
- Set up the phone once: eye level, real environment, audio check on the first take. Do not touch the setup again.
- Record back-to-back one-takes: read the question number aloud, state the question, answer in ~60 seconds, stop, next.
- No redos and no playback between takes. If an answer stumbles, say it again in the same file and keep moving – Descript cuts it later.
- Take a 5-minute break every 10-15 clips to keep energy honest; flat delivery in clips 30-50 wastes the session.
- Saying the question number aloud at the start of each take is the logging system – it maps takes to the list during upload.
- Upload the full batch to the Content Library Drive folder named
YYYY-MM-DD-batch-NN-topic. - Log all 50 in the Content Library tracker, mapped to their Topic Wheel questions, status "Raw – ready for Process." This is the 90% Greatest Hits feedstock.
Definition of done (QA checklist)
- 50 distinct clips recorded, each answering one listed customer question
- Single session, single setup – no production fiddling between takes
- Each clip identifiable (question number stated on camera) and mapped in the tracker
- Audio consistent and intelligible across the whole batch
- Full batch uploaded to the Content Library and queued for the Process stage
- Linked back to the definitive article and relevant siblings
Example(s)
- Example needed – run the Meta-Article Prompt after first real run. Candidate: a batch session with a local service owner like Marko Sipila (HVAC Quote) answering the 50 most-asked HVAC questions.
