Ready to up your Instagram Reels game?
Let's get to the confidence tips! Remember, feeling camera shy is perfectly normal, especially for entrepreneurs. So, be kind to yourself and know that you're not alone in this!
Focus on your message, not your appearance. Remember that your followers are tuning in to hear what you have to say, not to judge your appearance. Focus on delivering valuable content and speaking confidently, rather than worrying about how you look on camera.
Write a script or outline: Having a script or outline of what you want to say can help you feel more prepared and confident when recording. It can also help you stay on track and avoid getting flustered or tongue-tied. BUT keep it brief as reels should be concise and short.

Practice in front of a mirror: Practicing in front of a mirror can help you get used to seeing yourself on camera and work on your posture, facial expressions, and hand gestures. It can also help you feel more comfortable with your delivery and tone of voice.
Record multiple takes: Don't be afraid to record multiple takes until you feel happy with your performance. Knowing that you can always delete or redo a video can help ease your nerves and take the pressure off.
Give yourself a quick pep talk and remind yourself of your gifts & talents and what you bring to the table. Focus on how your service or product helps people. And remember--if you don't share how you can help people--they won't know about you! And short form video is the best way to do that and build relationships with your audience AND with people who are not following you yet.
