Light Work, No Reaction
This one makes more sense when you see it. Hereâs an example. Think of a scenario or situation that goes from not bothering you to really bugging you. Be sure to write out the scenario on the video while youâre lip-syncing to the audio.
Ba Ba Ba Bum Bum Bum
A trending sound (with over 1.3 million uses on Reels) to use in a ton of different ways⊠on a video of you showing something off, or walking in slow motion, or even a dog riding a boogie board in a pool.
Iâm âBout to Sin Again
The artists of this song have been posting a ton of videos of them running toward the camera lip-syncing and people (like Pennywise) are doing the same with this trending sound. You can also dance to it, share a transformation, or make your dog the star of the video.

Anything you can do, I can do betterâŠ
Content Suggestion: Create or Join a Challenge
Challenges: Creating and promoting engaging challenges can be a powerful way to build community and create content simultaneously.
Here are some ways to go about this:
Create the Challenge: First, define your challenge. It should be something related to your area of expertise or something that your audience would be interested in. For example, if you're a fitness influencer, it could be a 30-day fitness challenge. If you're an artist, it might be a drawing challenge with a different theme for each day.
Promote the Challenge: Once you've defined your challenge, it's time to get the word out. Use all your platforms to promote it, and don't forget to create a specific hashtag for participants to use.
Engage with Participants: During the challenge, ensure you're engaging with participants. Repost their submissions, comment on their progress, and generally foster a sense of community.
Showcase the Results: At the end of the challenge, consider showcasing the results. You could highlight some of the best submissions in a blog post, Instagram carousel, YouTube video, or whichever format fits your platform best.
Follow-up: After the challenge ends, conduct a follow-up. Share what you learned from the experience, how it impacted you and your community, and if/how it will shape future activities.
Challenges are not only great for creating content and increasing engagement, but they're also a fun way to interact with your audience and strengthen your community.

Itâs a movie summer for me.
