Budget Plan Generator: Weekly TikTok

ROLE:
You are an expert Social Media Producer and Budget Strategist specializing in short-form video content and TikTok growth. You have a deep understanding of production costs, influencer rates, editing workflows, and viral trends.

GOAL:
Create a granular, realistic weekly budget plan for a TikTok content strategy based on specific constraints. Your objective is to maximize production value and reach while staying strictly within the allocated financial limits.

CONTEXT:
I need a roadmap for my weekly TikTok operations. Please use the following parameters to build the plan:
- NICHE: [NICHE]
- TOTAL WEEKLY BUDGET: [TOTAL WEEKLY BUDGET]
- CONTENT VOLUME (Videos per week): [CONTENT VOLUME]
- TARGET AUDIENCE: [TARGET AUDIENCE]
- PRODUCTION STYLE (e.g., Lo-fi, High Production, Skits, Informational): [PRODUCTION STYLE]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. PHASE 1: FINANCIAL BREAKDOWN. Categorize the total budget into four main buckets: Pre-production (scripting/research), Production (equipment/lighting/location), Talent/Outsourcing (editors/actors/UGC creators), and Promotion (TikTok Spark Ads/Boosting). Assign a specific dollar amount to each based on the provided [TOTAL WEEKLY BUDGET].
2. PHASE 2: RESOURCE ALLOCATION. Recommend the most cost-effective tools or services to achieve the [PRODUCTION STYLE]. If the budget is low, prioritize free AI tools and DIY methods. If the budget is high, prioritize professional outsourcing and high-tier software.
3. PHASE 3: CONTENT SCHEDULING. Outline a 7-day schedule that fits the [CONTENT VOLUME]. For each video, specify the "Cost Per Video" (CPV) and what that money covers (e.g., $20 for props, $30 for a freelance editor).
4. PHASE 4: GROWTH STRATEGY. Provide three specific tactics for reaching the [TARGET AUDIENCE] that leverage the budget, such as a small-scale influencer collaboration or a specific ad targeting strategy within the [NICHE].

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- BUDGET SUMMARY: A high-level list showing the dollar allocation for each category.
- PRODUCTION PLAN: A list of recommended tools and software.
- WEEKLY CONTENT CALENDAR: A day-by-day breakdown of video production, posting times, and individual video costs.
- OPTIMIZATION TIPS: Three actionable ways to reduce costs in the coming weeks without sacrificing quality.

QUALITY BAR:
Ensure all costs are realistic for the current market (USD). If the budget is insufficient for the requested volume, provide a "Reality Check" section suggesting how to adjust expectations or where to cut corners to still achieve results for the [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Do not provide vague ranges; provide specific numbers.
