Read If You're Scared To Create Content
Content Creation made easier
If you’re scared to create content, this email is for you.
I used to be scared of creating content.
I always had these limiting beliefs in my head.
People are going to judge me.
My videos wont get a lot of views.
I sound/look funny.
That’s the downside of it.
Let’s talk about the potential upside of it.
I can make content creation a whole new source of income.
I can drive traffic to my existing or new business.
I can meet some badass people.
I can make money around my current lifestyle.
The truth is, you just have to not give a fuck and understand that content creation is a long journey. If you want to make content creation your main source of income within 3 months, I’m here to tell you thats not realistic. It’s possible…but its rare.
People will judge you. Being judged is inevitable in todays world (unfortunately)
Your videos WILL suck in the beginning.
You might not get the most amount of views when first starting out.
Making videos is scary, but on the other side of that fear is huge upside for your life. I started making videos because I wanted to scale my business and help others get more leads for their business, or make content creation their business.
This is what I did to start getting comfortable on camera, which you can go to my instagram to verify if you don’t believe me.
I started with posting lifestyle kind of reels. Just b roll of me throughout my day with some cool music.
Then I started filming talking head videos at home. I probably filmed a good 10-20 videos just to start getting comfortable rewatching them and the idea of me being on camera. I was always one who was behind the camera. Those 10-20 videos are actually videos that were never posted. They were just for me to lean into that fear.
I realized after those 20 videos that I “wasn’t ready” and that I didn’t know how many more videos it would take until I felt “ready”
That’s when it hit me that I just needed to start and accept the things mentioned at the beginning of this newsletter.
I still feel uncomfortable at times when I post, but my desire to achieve what I want to achieve with my personal brand is far greater.
I’ve made about 50 videos since starting my content creation journey and have been able to make money through them as well as network with some pretty cool people that you might have seen online before.
Take the jump into content creation, you’ll thank yourself later!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me via IG.
As always Happy Creating!
