[Workflow Share] Stop letting your best Prompts/Articles gather dust. My "Text-to-Traffic" loop for 2026.

Hey everyone,

Since we are approaching the end of 2025, I’ve been auditing my "digital assets." I realized I have hundreds of saved prompts, generated articles, and notes that are just sitting in my Notion/Obsidian, doing absolutely nothing.

We all know the traffic on text-based platforms is getting expensive. But Short-form Video (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) is still giving away free organic reach.

The problem? I hate video editing.

I love writing prompts and crafting text, but opening CapCut or After Effects drains my soul. I used to spend 2 hours editing a 30-second clip to promote a prompt that sells for $2. The ROI just wasn't there.

My New Workflow (The "Lazy" Way)

I decided to automate the "boring part" so I could focus on the creative part. I’ve been testing a tool called Textideo to bridge the gap between my text library and my TikTok account.

Here is the exact workflow I'm using now:

Identify High-Value Text: I dig up my best-performing blog posts or most complex Midjourney prompts.

The "Translation" Layer: I feed the text into Textideo. It doesn't just read it; it visualizes the concepts.

    Example: If I have a prompt about a "Cyberpunk Detective," the tool generates a video trailer for it instantly.

The CTA (Call to Action): I take the generated video, post it to Reels/TikTok, and put the link to my Prompt/Article in the bio.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why this matters for Prompt Engineers:
Instead of just listing your prompt on a marketplace and hoping for clicks, you are creating a visual funnel.

I’ve found that video teasers convert way better than static screenshots. People need to be "stopped" while scrolling, and motion does that.

The Tool:
If you want to try the specific tool I'm using, it's called Textideo.

What I like about it is that it feels native to a writer's workflow—you input text, you get video. No timeline dragging or keyframe adjusting.

Question for the community:
Is anyone else automating their social media content for 2026? I feel like "Content Repurposing" is going to be the biggest theme next year. Would love to hear your stack!

Cheers, and Happy New Year! 🚀
