😎HOLIDAY BRAIN BLANK? 😎
I hear you!
👇Quick Fix Ideas👇
✅ Check out your content from a few months ago, pick something that was well received and is still relevant and repost it!
✅ Back to basics - think about your audience - what would be helpful content for them?
✅ Behind the scenes footage - grab some quick behind the scenes footage that gives added value to your audience - sneak peak of a product before launch, highlight your people - what are their favourite products/services.
Don’t overthink it - just post it!

Is this YOU?
Showing your face on your business socials is really important to connect with your audience!
I understand and I feel your pain!
Here are my seven tips to boost your confidence when showing up on socials.
👉 Start slowly! Start with pictures and text to begin with on posts/stories/reels. Once you feel okay with that, bring in video and then….lives (if you want).
👉 Practice Regularly – remember familiarity breeds confidence: spend time in front of the camera regularly to become more comfortable. Practice speaking as if you’re speaking to a friend. Over time, the camera will feel less like an intimidating object.
👉 Know Your Material - being well-prepared with what you want to say or do on camera reduces anxiety. Outline your talking points or script your content if necessary. Knowing your material inside out allows you to focus on delivery rather than remembering what comes next.
👉 Get over yourself! Concentrate on the message you want to convey and the value it provides to your audience. This shift in focus from how you appear to what you’re sharing can significantly reduce self-consciousness.
👉 Film sentence to sentence – This makes it much easier and quicker to get through a bit of content but also allows you to remove any unnecessary gaps and involuntary
“erms” that you might say!
👉 Improve your technical skills and understand your equipment - knowing how to use your camera, microphone, and lighting effectively can boost your confidence. Experiment with different setups to find what works best for you.
👉 Don’t over analyse – just post it. If I had a £1 for every time I swithered over content or didn’t like my voice or facial expressions, I would be very rich! Sometimes it’s best not to re-watch too much, check the message is clear and then post!
Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way! Confidence in front of the camera will improve with time and practice.
