Hello, and please excuse my tardy mid-week email,
I've cracked something that's been bugging me for ages.
Video discovery is incredibly powerful—we all know this. The problem? Creating consistent video content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts takes massive time and expertise.
As someone who lives in the written word, video has never fit into my content workflow.
Until now…
The Discovery
Last week, I spotted a tool on Twitter that specialises in slideshow videos—you know, those 5-slide posts with text overlays and background music that make you swipe automatically.
Here's why these work: when people see multiple slides, they instinctively swipe through them. This increases dwell time, which every algorithm uses to decide whether to push your content further.
The tool is called ReelFarm.
The Results (One Week In)
• 3,500 views on an account that had zero followers
• Real traffic flowing to my newsletter
• Actual new subscribers (for FREE, minus ReelFarm's minimal cost)
I'm not viral yet, but the maths are simple: even at 0.5% conversion, these numbers pay for themselves. One proper hit and I'm profitable for years.
Cash Flow Break
Are you still waiting for payday?
You shouldn’t be. Get paid up to 2 days early and make your money go further with 4% interest on savings,* up to $200 in free overdraft coverage,** and more.
(disclaimer: Cash App is a financial platform, not a bank. Banking services provided by Cash App’s bank partner(s). Direct deposit and savings provided by Cash App, a Block, Inc. brand. Prepaid debit cards issued by Sutton Bank, Member FDIC. See Terms and Conditions.. To earn the highest interest rate on your Cash App savings balance, you need to be 18 or older, have a Cash App Card, and direct deposit at least $300 monthly into Cash App. Cash App will pass through a portion of the interest paid on your savings balance held in an account for the benefit of Cash App customers at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Member FDIC. Savings yield rate is subject to change. *No fee overdraft coverage of up to $200 for Cash App Card transactions is available when you direct deposit at least $300 monthly into Cash App. Eligibility requirements apply, see terms for details.)
How It Works
I take emails I've already written and paste them into ReelFarm's prompt box. It creates a slideshow automatically, selects images, and within 20 seconds, I have content ready to post multiple times daily.
That's it. No filming, no editing, no creative blocks.
I'm generating thousands more views for Anywhere Income with virtually zero additional time investment.
Why This Matters to You
Every business needs traffic. Doesn't matter if you're:
• Running a service business
• Promoting products
• Getting into affiliate marketing
TikTok's algorithmic feed and viral potential make it perfect for getting in front of potential customers.
The Affiliate Marketing Angle
If you don't have a business yet, this gets even more interesting.
Traditional affiliate marketing required building a newsletter, creating lead magnets, funnelling TikTok traffic through email sequences, and then retargeting.
Now there's TikTok Shop.
You can create videos that directly promote TikTok Shop products. One viral video could generate thousands—even tens of thousands—in commissions.

Beyond Slideshows
ReelFarm slideshows work for me because they're zero-effort content repurposing. But there are other approaches:
• AI-generated demo videos
• Green screen content
• Product showcases
The key is finding tools that identify best-selling products and match them with content formats you can actually execute consistently.
Video discovery isn't going anywhere. The platforms that crack it win massive audiences.
If you've been sitting on the sidelines because video feels too complex, slideshow tools like ReelFarm remove that barrier completely.
Worth exploring, especially with TikTok Shop opening up direct monetisation opportunities.
