6 Easy Steps to Getting Comfortable on Video

6 Easy Steps to Getting Comfortable (and actually good) on Video!

Nervous at the thought of going on video? 😬 No matter how much the thought of it makes you cringe and how much you think you could never do it, I'm here to tell you that you can! 🚀 

Here are 6 easy steps to getting comfortable (and actually good) 🌟 on video!

👉 1. Practice when nobody's looking! That's right. Shoot yourself on video knowing that you'll never post it. You're doing it for practice and to get used to seeing yourself and hearing your own voice on camera. That's one of the hardest and most embarrassing things to get used to, and the more you do it, the easier and more natural it becomes. (Even experienced web creators went through this when they were getting started!) Once you're somewhat used to seeing and hearing yourself on camera, believe me... that confidence will show when you're on video and your jitters will be reduced exponentially!

👉2. Now that your confidence is up, start shooting your messages in video format. Please do us all a favor and do not use a script! Not only is using a script so much harder to do than just speaking naturally into the camera, but your followers know when you're reading a script because it's stilted, unnatural and distracts them from genuinely connecting and engaging with your content. 

👉3. Do not worry if you make mistakes on camera. Nobody likes perfect. It’s not normal and it’s tough for your followers to approach. We're all human and making mistakes actually makes you warmer and more relatable. I've found when I mess up a little, my engagement goes up because people can relate. 

👉4. Look at the camera when you're shooting a video and talk to it as if you're talking to a friend or neighbor. Don't overthink it or complicate your message. Keep it simple and relax. 

👉5. Your followers are not thinking about your performance. They're paying attention to your message. Remember that!

👉6. Smile and have fun! 

So tell me❓ ... what are your biggest challenges holding you back from showing up on video? 

XOXO,
