Section 03 · The way we work
From idea
to posted.
Four steps, every time. No studio, no script, no crew — just a phone and something worth showing.
01Pick an idea
Choose one habit from page 05. One idea, one video.
2 min02Film on a phone
Shoot it in the store while it is happening. No lights, no edits.
10 min03Post it
Upload, say the price and the day, and add the location.
5 min04Learn and repeat
See what people watched, then film that again next week.
Weekly
No studio. No script. No crew.
If a video takes longer than ten minutes, it is too long. Film the moment, post it, and move on.
All it takes
- A phone
- 10 minutes
