Could there be a more Christmassy photo…?!

You might be surprised to know, that I used to be incredibly shy and hated putting myself out there
I found my confidence through drama & acting and that has gradually filtered through to other aspects of my life

How about you? Do you feel confident in being on camera OR do you avoid it at all costs?!
One of the biggest things I’ve learnt is that people are more supportive than I gave them credit for.

So, take the leap & start a conversation, press that ‘go live’ button, make that reel you’ve been thinking about. The world is waiting…for YOU!

🌟YOU CAN DO THIS!🌟

For anyone on Instagram, you can’t have missed the massive switch from photos to video content, and in particular Reels.

With Reels now being added to Facebook, it’s looking like they’ll start becoming popular here too.

So…. Here’s 3 reasons why you should give Reels a try….

⚡️They’re here to stay - and for now, Instagram is prioritising Reels over any other form of content (carousel posts are a close second) But if you want to hit that explore page….it’s going to be with a Reel my friends!

⚡️They are a great way to have FUN within your business. You’ll learn new ways to communicate what you do & why you do it!

⚡️People expect it (maybe not in Facebook yet, but definitely on Instagram)
If I discover a new account and see that they don’t have any Reels, I’ll be honest…I’m a bit confused 🤔
Have a look at what other people in your industry are doing - if everyone else is including this type of content, perhaps you need to ask why you’re not.

So, come on - tell me what your barriers are. I’m right here to work through them with you!
