4. Plan Your Content Ideas

"Did You Know?" facts

Case studies, before/after, myths vs facts

"Tutorial in 60 Seconds"

Use tools like:

ChatGPT 😉

Google Trends

TikTok Creative Center for trending topics

5. Add Captions & Hooks
Faceless = Visual storytelling matters more.

Strong hook in first 3 seconds ("Don't make this mistake...")

Bold, large on-screen captions

Emojis & motion to guide attention

Use auto-captioning tools or animate them manually in CapCut or Canva

6. Post + Engage
Use SEO-friendly hashtags.

Include a CTA (like "Follow for more tips").

Respond to comments to boost visibility.

Recycle content across platforms: post a TikTok to Reels and Shorts!

7. Track What Works
Watch retention rates—are people finishing the video?

Look at shares, saves, comments (not just likes).

Double down on formats or topics that get traction.

🎁 Bonus: Faceless Doesn't Mean Personality-less
Even without showing your face, you can build a brand voice:

Use a consistent style, color palette, tone.

Show behind-the-scenes (just hands, desk setup, tools).

Infuse humor, opinion, or storytelling to stand out.
