Or is it? Camera confidence is one of the biggest reasons people don’t vlog, but everyone feels awkward at first, even those who seem totally natural on camera now. Fake it till you make it: no one knows you’re nervous.
Here’s a simple starter tip: film short clips without talking. Get used to holding your phone, framing shots, and moving around until it feels normal. Then start adding your voice or face once you’re more comfortable.
It’s so worth pushing through the nerves, as building camera confidence can be the difference between landing your next client, a big pay pack (oh yeahhhh), or an amazing new opportunity. Being on camera helps people get to know and trust you, and that’s what turns followers into fans and fans into paid work.
We’ll be covering full camera confidence in an upcoming module, so if this sounds like you, you’re not alone and help is on the way. - this one's for you!
