Brand colors: forest green, navy blue, gold accent.

The North Star

South Elm Capital is not merely “selling insurance.” The brand is helping families avoid grief, confusion, debt, and last-minute fundraising.

Core Message

Love should not leave a bill behind.

Every post, video, caption, call script, landing page, and GHL follow-up should point back to this idea: responsible people protect their families before life forces the conversation.

Which Platforms to Use for Insurance

Use all four, but do not use them the same way. Each platform gets a job.

1

YouTube

Primary job: authority, search, trust, long-form education, and evergreen credibility.

Use for: final expense explainers, life insurance breakdowns, city-specific videos, FAQ videos, and Shorts.

2 long videos/week 1–2 Shorts/day Best for trust
3

Instagram

Primary job: polished credibility, Reels discovery, trust-building, and younger family protectors.

Use for: Reels, story polls, carousel explainers, quote cards, and behind-the-scenes trust content.

1 Reel/day 3 Stories/week Best for brand polish
4

TikTok

Primary job: attention, hard-truth clips, viral reach, and adult-child awareness.

Use for: provocative 30–60 second videos, myth-busting, family burden content, and comment-to-DM conversations.

1–2 posts/day Hard truth hooks Best for reach
+

Google Business Profile

Post here twice per week. It supports local trust and makes South Elm Capital look alive when people search you after seeing a video.

2 posts/week Charlotte first Local SEO support

Compliance note: Avoid promises like “guaranteed approval,” “everyone qualifies,” “lowest price,” or fear-heavy language. Use educational language, licensed guidance language, and direct people to a review. Paid ads for insurance may require financial services category selection, age restrictions, or advertiser verification depending on platform.

The Required Funnel Path

The content should never float in the air. Every video must send people somewhere specific.

1. Cold Viewer

Send to Family Protection Check.

Best CTA: “Find out where your family may be exposed.”

2. Curious Viewer

Send to Coverage Calculator.

Best CTA: “See what kind of protection may make sense.”

3. Warm Viewer

Send to Protection Review calendar.

Best CTA: “Book a quick no-pressure review.”

4. Hot Viewer

Send to call page or direct phone call.

Best CTA: “Call today and let’s review your options.”

Copy/Paste Scripts

Use these to record, caption, DM, post, and follow up.

Short Video Script 1: GoFundMe Is Not a Plan
A GoFundMe is not a life insurance policy. And I know that sounds harsh, but somebody needs to say it. Too many families are grieving and fundraising at the same time. Final expense insurance is not about being morbid. It is about being mature. If your family would have to borrow, beg, or pass the hat, it is time to get a plan. Take the Family Protection Check at SouthElmCap.com.
Short Video Script 2: Love Is Paperwork Too
Love is not just hugs, holidays, and “I got you.” Sometimes love is paperwork. Beneficiaries. Coverage. Instructions. A plan your family can actually use. Because when grief comes, confusion should not be sitting in the passenger seat. Book a Protection Review with South Elm Capital.
Short Video Script 3: Employer Coverage Warning
If all your life insurance is through your job, ask one question: What happens if the job ends before you do? A lot of people think they are covered because HR gave them a benefit packet. But employer coverage may not be portable, may not be enough, and may not protect your family the way you think. Review it before you rely on it.
Short Video Script 4: Your Kids Should Not Have to Guess
Your kids should not have to guess how to bury you. They should not have to search drawers, call cousins, argue with siblings, or hope somebody knows something. Love leaves instructions. Love leaves protection. Love does not leave confusion with a funeral bill attached. Take the Family Protection Check and see where your family may be exposed.
Short Video Script 5: The Adult Conversation
At some point, every family needs the adult conversation. Who is covered? Who is the beneficiary? Where are the documents? Who makes the call? How does the funeral get paid? Avoiding the conversation does not avoid the problem. It just hands the problem to somebody else.
Caption Bank
Caption 1: Love should not leave a bill behind. Take the Family Protection Check and see where your family may be exposed. Caption 2: A policy is not about fear. It is about family leadership. Book a no-pressure Protection Review. Caption 3: If your family would have to guess, borrow, or fundraise, it is time for a plan. Caption 4: Final expense insurance is not about death. It is about not making grief more expensive than it already is. Caption 5: Your people deserve peace, instructions, and protection. Start with the free Family Protection Check.
DM Reply Scripts
When someone says “How much?”: It depends on age, health, and how much protection you want in place. The best next step is the Family Protection Check so I can point you in the right direction. When someone says “Send info”: Absolutely. Start here with the Family Protection Check. It will help identify what kind of protection makes sense: https://southelmcap.com/family-protection-check/ When someone says “I already have insurance”: That may be great. The real question is whether it is enough, whether it follows you if you leave work, and whether your family knows how to access it. When someone says “I can’t afford it”: That is exactly why a review matters. The goal is not to oversell you. The goal is to find what is realistic before your family has no options. When someone says “I need to think about it”: Completely understand. The only thing I would not do is leave it vague. A quick review can at least show you your options so you are thinking with real numbers.
