## PROMPT 1 - "5 Signs You Need a Bookkeeper"
**Best for:** Instagram Reels, Facebook Video

The 5 signs:
1. You're mixing personal and business expenses
2. You dread opening your bank statements
3. Tax season feels like a crisis every year
4. You have no idea what your actual profit margin is
5. You're spending more time on paperwork than on your actual business

Use clean, modern business footage. Include bold on-screen text for each point. Use a calm, professional male voiceover. End with the text: "J2 Bookkeeping - Clarity for your business" and "Link in bio."

Background music should be upbeat but not distracting. Use green and orange as accent colors for any text overlays to match our brand.

## TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS IN INVIDEO AI

- **After it generates:** Watch the full video and swap out any stock footage that feels generic or off-brand
- **Voiceover:** If the AI voice sounds too robotic, re-record the voiceover yourself in CapCut and replace it - your real voice always wins
- **Captions:** Make sure auto-captions are on. 80%+ of social media video is watched on mute
- **Branding:** Add the J2 logo as a watermark in the corner if InVideo doesn't include it
- **Export:** Always export at the highest quality available
- **Frequency:** Use these to fill 1-2 video slots per week when you can't film yourself
