Hey. Hey. So a couple days ago, I posted a video asking you why you're not making more content. And I got a lot of good feedback. Mainly, people just don't know where to start, especially with video content. So I want to share a couple tips that can help you out today. Now, if video is not your thing, you hate getting behind a camera. No worries. There's other ways to share your message. Whether it's showing images, writing, blogs, audio, you can do many different things. Now, if you want to make videos and you want the true you to come through the video, here's a couple things you need to start doing. Number one, lose the script. I know that goes against what a lot of people tell you to do, but when I used to write a script and I put it above the camera, all of a sudden when I started talking, I would lose my emotion and then I'd start following the script and it looked really robotic today, no script. I just want my emotion to come through, my passion to come through. I suggest you do the same. If you're struggling with that, think about this. If you were at a coffee shop with a friend sitting across the table and they asked you for your advice, would you say, hold on, let me get my script out? No, you just start giving advice. Do the same on camera. And this is the second part that's so important. When you're talking into the camera, act as if you're only talking to one person behind that screen. That's it. So if you want to make better video content, just start sharing advice like you would in a coffee shop and act like. Like you are talking to one person behind that camera. I promise, if you do that, the real you is going to come through your videos and people are going to love engaging with you.
