Are you a coach or service-based entrepreneur that’s relying on referrals?

Or perhaps people enquiring via your website?

Here’s the thing, a referral or a website visitor is usually considered ‘warm’.

Before coming to you, they have some idea of what you do and how you can help them.

So the question is, do you have a strategy to attract a ‘cold audience’; those you need to educate first and give away something valuable to before you have a sales conversation?

If not, you might be leaving out a huge, potential audience!

Leads are considered as ‘top-of-funnel’.

Video is a powerful piece of content to attract leads.

If you know how to apply it creatively and strategically, it can truly assist in growing your business.

Here are 3 ways you can do that.

What does Gary Vaynerchuk, Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, Oprah, etc have in common?

One – they all have a strong personal brand.

Two – You can easily put a face to the brand. If you saw them on the street, you’d recognise who they are, right?

Which means, they get in front of the camera A LOT.

They understand the importance of connecting with their audience by bringing out the human element on video (or photo).

What better (and easier) way to do this than getting in front of the camera?

Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs struggle with this.

There’s the fear of being judged.

The attachment to perfection eg. The hair and make-up has to be right

The lack of confidence.

Do these hold you back from getting in front of the camera?

Here are my favourite practical tips to help you be more confident in front of the camera.
