Everyone's jumping on the lo-fi content trend thinking it means they can just post random photos from their camera roll, but they're actually sabotaging their sales without realizing it.
In this episode of Brand Your Way to a Million, I'm giving you the full debrief on lo-fi content—that trend where businesses are ditching polished brand shoots for behind-the-scenes, "real life" footage that looks like a business and influencer had a baby. While everyone's talking about how "effortless" this content is, I'm here to tell you that's complete BS.
I've been watching entrepreneurs completely misunderstand this trend, thinking lo-fi means lazy, unbranded, or just venting about their personal struggles as a sales tactic. But here's what they're missing: even when influencers look like they "didn't try," they're using high-quality cameras, strategic outfits, and intentional messaging. The Canon G7X didn't sell out because people wanted worse quality. It sold out because people wanted that effortless-but-actually-strategic look.
I'm breaking down why lo-fi content still needs to be branded, strategic, and yes—pretty. Because at the end of the day, people aren't just watching you for entertainment like they do with influencers. They're watching because they're considering paying you, and that changes everything about how you should approach this trend.
In this episode, we're chatting about:
• Why lo-fi content became popular
• The three non-negotiables that make Lo-Fi content convert
• The founder vs. influencer mistake
• The high-low strategy
