🛑 Sometimes we have to start before we’re ready.  

We think we need one more course, one more degree, or we need to study more, get permission, and so much MORE before we’re ready to tackle something.  What even determines that we're "ready"❓  

That especially applies to #contentcreation and #video.  

One of my favorite quotes is from Theodore Roosevelt:  “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man/woman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man/woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself/herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he/she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his/her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”  

If you’re on the fence, take a deep breath and start before you’re ready.

Not sure what to post on #LinkedIn? Use these 4 content categories to guide you . . .    

🔶1. EDUCATE - These are posts that give advice, tips, best practices, insights, frameworks, etc. This post here is an example of an educational post. This is a core type of LinkedIn content.  

🔸2. INFORM - This is where you inform people of upcoming events, conferences, webinars, live shows, launches, networking, etc. It can be your own events or you're sharing an event that would be of interest to your network. Share the date, time, venue and details.  

🔸3. INSPIRE - This is where you talk to people's hearts. Share quotes, stories and lessons that inspire, offer hope, spread positivity & motivate. Share a challenge you overcame. Share a quote that always lifts you up.  

🔸4. ENTERTAIN - Make someone laugh & smile. Get creative & share an idea in an entertaining way. This always leaves an impression on people. Use a cartoon, illustration, music, art and whatever sparks your creativity.  

Whenever you're at a loss of what to post, remember these 4 purposes.

How do you get better as a content creator?   

By making incremental improvements every time you post.  

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear is one of the best books I've read on habit formation.  

I've applied it to my content creation journey and so can you.  

The trick is NOT to change by leaps at one time but to make tiny changes consistently that add up to remarkable results.  

📶 Start with your smartphone. 

📶 Then get an inexpensive lapel microphone and ring light. 

📶 Then plan out your weekly content calendar. 

📶 Enhance your background setting. 

📶 Hire a coach to help with your content planning and branding. 

📶 Use inexpensive editing apps to edit your own videos. 

📶 Enhance the graphics, add music, add text overlays. 

📶 Hire a video editor to do more complex video editing. 

📶 And so much more . . .  When you start, don't worry about having everything right.  

Make incremental 1% changes each time you post and before you know it, you'll have remarkable results!

How do you learn?   

Earlier on in my career doing #communications and #training, I realized that people learn in different ways and it affects how long they can retain that knowledge. These techniques can also guide you in different ideas for #contentcreation :  

🟧1️⃣ VISUAL These people learn by seeing. Videos, photos, diagrams, images, infographics, etc all help this type of learner.  

🟧2️⃣ AUDITORY These individuals learn by hearing and speaking. Podcasts, audio books, voice messages, voice memos, etc are all great ways to cater to these audiences.  

🟧3️⃣ WRITING & READING Who loves to read and take notes? This style is for you. #LinkedIn articles, blogs, shared articles, long copy posts, etc appeal to this group. 

🟧4️⃣ KINESTHETIC Do you learn better by doing? I’ve seen wellness & fitness coaches do demos on this platform. Asking people to follow along by standing, moving around, holding an object, etc will get this crowd engaged.  The next time you want to appeal to a different audiences, try some of these styles and switch it up.  

I’m mainly a combo of visual and kinesthetic.
