3 Types of Content You Can Start Today With Just Your Phone

Mike Birt • August 10, 2025

You do not need a big budget or a professional studio to start making content that works. All you need is your phone and these three ideas.

For most small business owners, getting started with content creation feels overwhelming. You might think you need a full video production setup, expensive editing software, or endless amounts of free time.


The truth is, you can start building trust and attracting customers today using just your phone.


Here are three content ideas you can start with right now.


1. Answer Frequently Asked Questions

Every business gets asked the same questions repeatedly. Instead of answering them one person at a time, answer them once on video and share it with everyone.

  • Think about the top 5 to 10 questions your customers ask.
  • Record a short, direct answer on your phone.
  • Keep it conversational and imagine you are talking to one person, not a crowd.


These videos build authority, save you time, and help customers trust you before they ever pick up the phone or walk through the door. You can learn more about how answering questions builds trust from this Forbes article on building customer trust.


2. Address Common Objections

Every product or service has reasons people hesitate or say no. Addressing those objections on video can turn “I am not sure” into “When can we start?”

  • Make a list of the most common reasons people do not move forward with you.
  • Record a short video for each one, explaining your perspective and giving reassurance.
  • Be clear, confident, and empathetic. The goal is to help them see your solution differently.


When people see you confidently addressing their concerns, they are more likely to trust your business and take the next step. You can also read HubSpot’s guide to handling objections for more insight into this approach.


3. Share Customer Success Stories

Nothing builds credibility faster than proof that your product or service works.

  • Share a quick story about a customer you helped.
  • Focus on three parts: their problem, what you did to help, and the result they got.
  • Keep it simple and avoid overcomplicating the production.


Success stories turn your marketing from “Here is what we do” into “Here is what we have done for people just like you.” For more on creating this type of content, check out our post on three types of content for your social media.


You Do Not Need Fancy, You Need Consistent

The biggest mistake business owners make is overcomplicating content creation. You do not need perfect lighting, professional gear, or hours of editing. What you need is to start.


Pick one of these ideas and record your first video today. Then do another tomorrow. The more you show up, the more your audience will know you, trust you, and want to work with you. If you need more help planning, read our guide on how to build a marketing strategy that works.
