Look, I'm just going to say it – showing up on camera sometimes feels awkward as hell.
I've been doing this for six years and there are still days where I'd rather do literally anything other than film video content – and I know I'm not alone in this.
But that’s the reality of running a business. And if you want people to actually connect with you and your business, you've got to show your face, use your voice and share your magic.
And I don't mean it needs a perfectly polished, Hollywood-level production. I mean you, being human, sharing your message.
Sure I could tell you to just “show up” and “be authentic” – but that’s not exactly helpful advice when you're sweating through your third take wondering why you can’t get it right.
So I’m calling in the big guns – Chantelle from Pink Sunnies Social.
Chantelle has an incredible background in film, social media, and events that's taken her from London to Los Angeles and back home to Australia. And for over a decade, she's been helping business owners step out of the shadows and actually show up – pink heart-shaped sunglasses and all.
What I love about Chantelle is that she started hiding behind those iconic pink sunnies because she was scared to show her face too. And now? She's creating content that helps other people find that same confidence.
In this episode of the How I Do Content Podcast, we talk about how to actually build confidence on camera even when you’re someone who doesn’t love the spotlight.
So if you've been avoiding making video content – this one's for you.
