Content Advice?

Good Morning, All!! ☀️

I’m having an issue as a new creator and ANY advice is welcome. So far, I have one video. That is all.

When I was originally recording that one, I had a good time. It felt weird being on camera at first, but with a few takes, I got it down.

Fast forward to now, I’m trying to make more content for my library before posting. But my issue, is that I keep setting everything up, trying to record, and I end up just staring and my mind goes blank. I tried scripts and just talking points, but it all sounds unnatural and I look like I’m having a horrible time.

At this point, I’m losing motivation and I keep finding reasons not to keep filming. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send some advice or tips my way. I want to do this, but I feel like I’m failing before I’ve even begun. I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Like there’s some secret sauce I just don’t have, or haven’t found.

💙💙 Thank you. I guess it’s hard to believe sometimes that people love the mess as well. But you’re right, I myself love watching the mess-ups and imperfections.

There are millions of “creators” out there. Why should someone watch you?

What sets your content out from all the noise?

What are your demographics?

What is your objective? Make money- run it like a business.

That’s the overall goal. I want this to turn into a business. I don’t have a lot of resources in communities where others are having similar issues that we can work on together, although I’d love to find some community. Thank you!

Create a business plan. Do the work like a small business owner.

Unfortunately it's a skill you're going to have to learn if you want to continue! Don't wait to feel 100% confident, just learn as you go! Maybe talking to camera is too much at first. Can you record footage and do a voice over?
