Tips for Better Social Content

1. Lead with the hook: First 1-2 seconds determine if people keep watching. Make it count.

2. Know the platform: TikTok is raw and trendy. Instagram is polished and aesthetic. Same message, different execution.

3. Specify the vibe: "Cozy autumn aesthetic" or "high-energy hype" gives CellCog clear creative direction.

4. Include CTAs: "Save this", "Follow for more", "Link in bio" - tell people what to do next.

5. Reference trends: Mention specific formats ("Get ready with me", "POV", "storytime") for platform-native content.

6. Think mobile-first: All content will be viewed on phones. Bold text, clear visuals, vertical format.
