How to get over the fear of talking on video

Instagram has added so many options for showing up on video, it’s time to get on board!

If you’re worried about what people will think, how you’ll sound, if the haters will show up and harass you - then this post is for YOU.

1 ➜ Practice: Record a few videos without posting them. After a few tries you might just end up with something you feel comfortable sharing!

2 ➜ Try Stories first: You can create super short videos and they disappear after 24 hours so if it’s terrible there won’t be any evidence and if it’s great you can add it to your highlights.

3 ➜ Remember your audience WANTS to hear from you: People followed you because they’re interested in what you’re sharing. They are the ones that will show up to watch, not random haters and trolls. It’s time to show up and talk to them!

4  ➜ Bonus tip: Record videos outside of Instagram and then you can edit out the awkward moments and long pauses. I still do this! VideoLeap is my favorite editing app.
