Step 1: Set up your HeyGen workspace for scale
Pengusaha cerdas tidak selalu mulai dari nol—mereka membangun sistem yang bisa berkembang dan diperbesar skalanya.
Dengan HeyGen, Anda dapat dengan mudah menjaga konsistensi brand pada video Anda dengan menyiapkan Brand Kit untuk secara otomatis menggunakan font, warna, logo, dan aset Anda.
Cukup tempelkan URL perusahaan Anda untuk mulai, atau unggah elemen brand Anda secara manual.
In a hurry? No problem. You can always come back and finish this step later.

Pro Tip
Setelah Brand Kit Anda dilengkapi dengan warna brand Anda, Anda dapat dengan mudah memperbarui sebagian besar HeyGen Templates agar selaras. Cukup ganti dengan warna Anda sehingga setiap video tetap sesuai brand, atau tekan tombol Shuffle Colors untuk membuat HeyGen menggantinya secara otomatis.
Langkah 2: Tetapkan Strategi Anda
Before jumping into video creation, take a moment to clarify your business goal, audience, platform, and message. This will help you create videos that not only look great, but also work for your bottom line.
Tujuan Bisnis
What do you want this video to accomplish for your business?
Contoh: meningkatkan penjualan, menjelaskan layanan Anda, mengedukasi pelanggan, meningkatkan keterlibatan, membangun kredibilitas
Target Audience
Who is this video for? What do they care about, and where are they in their journey with your business?
Contoh: pengunjung pertama kali ke situs web Anda, pelanggan lama yang membutuhkan bantuan dengan produk Anda, para DIYer yang mengikuti Anda di Instagram
Saluran Distribusi Utama
Di mana orang akan melihat video ini?
Contoh: Instagram Reels, YouTube, halaman arahan Shopify, buletin email, iklan Facebook
Pesan atau Hook
Masalah apa yang sedang Anda selesaikan, dan bagaimana Anda akan menarik perhatian dalam beberapa detik pertama?
Examples: “Ever wonder why you don’t see results after a tough workout?” or “Looking for your dream property, but don’t know where to start?”

Pro Tip
Need a second opinion on your strategy? Head to ChatGPT, Claude, or another tool of your choice and prompt with the following:
"Saya sedang merencanakan kampanye video pemasaran untuk [product/service]. Tujuan saya adalah [goal], target audiens saya adalah [audience], saya akan mendistribusikannya di [channel], dan pesan utama atau hook-nya adalah: [hook]. Bisakah Anda memberi saya masukan tentang seberapa jelas dan efektif rencana ini serta menyarankan perbaikan apa pun?"

Untuk video edukasi, berikut cara melakukannya dengan tepat:

- Buat tetap terstruktur dan fokusdengan membagi konten menjadi langkah-langkah yang logis, mudah diikuti, dan memiliki alur yang jelas serta stabil.

Praktik Terbaik: Menulis Naskah Lebih Cepat dan Lebih Baik dengan AI
Menjalankan bisnis berarti harus mengurus banyak hal sekaligus, jadi mengapa tidak membiarkan AI membantu Anda menulis naskah video dengan lebih cepat dan efektif? Alat seperti ChatGPT, Claude, dan Gemini dapat membantu Anda mendapatkan naskah berkualitas tinggi dalam hitungan menit, bukan jam. Berikut cara memaksimalkan penggunaannya.

Langkah 1: Mulailah dengan prompt yang jelas
- Tell the AI what kind of video you’re creating and what you want it to do for your business. Include details like:
- Jenis video (misalnya modul kursus edukasi, iklan media sosial, dan sebagainya)
- Ditujukan untuk siapa (misalnya pelanggan baru, pelanggan buletin)
- What you want the video to achieve (e.g. drive signups, answer FAQs, showcase your brand)
- The tone or voice (e.g. friendly, expert, fun)
Contoh prompt:
"Tulis skrip video berdurasi 60 detik untuk listing properti mewah yang menargetkan pembeli dari luar kota. Gunakan nada yang percaya diri dan profesional. Akhiri dengan ajakan bertindak untuk memesan tur virtual."
Langkah 2: Tambahkan poin-poin pembicaraan utama
Ingin skrip yang lebih akurat dan sesuai brand? Sertakan beberapa poin penting singkat tentang hal-hal yang perlu disorot.
Contoh:
- Nama produk/layanan
- Key value proposition or feature
- Ajakan bertindak
Contoh prompt:
"Sertakan poin-poin ini: 123 Bayview Drive adalah rumah yang baru direnovasi dengan 4 kamar tidur, 3 kamar mandi, pemandangan laut, dan dapur bergaya chef. Sempurna untuk pekerja jarak jauh yang pindah ke daerah pesisir. CTA: Jadwalkan tur pribadi Anda hari ini."
Langkah 3: Minta format yang tepat
Beritahu AI bagaimana Anda akan menyampaikan videonya. Ini akan membantu membentuk nada dan gaya.
Contoh:
- Skrip lisan yang disampaikan oleh pendiri
- Akan didistribusikan di Instagram Reels
- Nada santai dan manusiawi
Contoh prompt:
"Tulis ini sebagai naskah lisan yang disampaikan oleh avatar AI saya untuk Instagram Reels. Buat bahasanya ramah, jelas, dan menarik."
Step 4: Review and tweak
Paste the script into HeyGen, preview it with your avatar, and listen. Does it sound like you? If not, tweak it with follow-up prompts like:
- Buat bahasanya lebih santai dan percakapan sehari-hari
- Tambahkan hook yang langsung menarik perhatian dalam 3 detik pertama
- Ubah ini menjadi versi singkat 30 detik untuk media sosial
- Include a quick stat about the neighborhood
- Coba tiga versi ajakan bertindak penutup

Best Practices: Creating High Quality Custom AI Voices
HeyGen memiliki perpustakaan besar berisi suara AI stok dalam lebih dari 175 bahasa, dialek, dan nada emosional, tetapi terkadang video yang sempurna membutuhkan sesuatu yang benar-benar khusus. Di bawah ini adalah tiga cara untuk membuat Custom Voices.

Jenis Suara Kustom | Metode Pembuatan | Keluaran | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
Otomatis saat membuat Avatar Hiper-Realistisatau | Realistic voice clone based on your real voice and intonations. Supports multiple emotions. | A voice clone that sounds just like you | |
Text prompt specifying attributes (age, accent, gender, tone, pitch, emotion) | Fully AI-generated voice based on prompt. | Suara fiksi atau suara dengan karakter yang sangat kuat | |
Layanan Suara AI eksternal (ElevenLabs, Cartesia, LMNT) | Realistic voice clone trained on your real voice and intonations. Fine-tune controls vary by service. Great option for a digital twin, but usually requires additional payment. | Klon suara yang terdengar persis seperti Anda |
Untuk kualitas suara terbaik, mulailah dengan rekaman sumber yang bagus. Berikut cara mendapatkan hasil rekaman yang optimal:
• Gunakan mikrofon atau smartphone berkualitas tinggi, pegang pada jarak 15–20 cm dari mulut Anda
• Rekam di ruangan yang tenang dan bebas dari kebisingan
• Berbicaralah dengan jelas, dengan jeda alami dan sedikit ekspresi emosi
• Unggah beberapa sampel dengan nada emosional yang berbeda untuk fleksibilitas yang lebih tinggi (untuk HeyGen Custom Voice Clones saja)

Best Practices: Prompting Like A Pro

Be Specific
The more clearly you describe what you want (tone, look, gesture, emotion) the better the AI can match your vision.
Start with Structure
Gunakan struktur yang konsisten: apa, siapa, di mana, bagaimana. Ini berlaku untuk visual, nada suara, dan arah gerakan.
Include Context & Intent
Let the AI know the purpose: Is it for a product demo? A social ad? A tutorial? Context helps tailor the result.
Use Descriptive Language
Use adjectives that convey emotion, style, or clarity (e.g., “confident,” “minimalist,” “high energy,” “calm pace”).
Iterate & Refine
Don’t settle for your first try. Small prompt tweaks can lead to dramatically better results in all media types!
Prompting best practices can vary slightly depending on what you’re creating

- Transformation or payoff: show the value of your product in action
- Creator POV: use voiceover or on-screen text to narrate with a personal, authentic tone
- Simple CTA: make the next step obvious! (“Try this,” “watch more,” or “visit website.”)
