The Jonathan Tilley Podcast

You click on your phone's camera button and are immediately greeted with the front camera's pic of death - your double chin. Your self-confidence hits an all-time low in 0.3 seconds and you berate yourself all day for even thinking about creating content with your mug in it.

Stop right there. This does not serve you.

Everyone... like EVERYONE... is greeted with the double chin pic of death whenever they open their phone's camera. But the trick is how to speak your phone's camera language so you can look your best on video. And in today's podcast you'll learn my tricks on how to present yourself properly on camera so you can even surprise yourself when you look back at what you created and think, "Damn, I look good!"

But this is one piece of the gigantic puzzle about content creation. Especially when it comes to Instagram.

After watching a dewy-faced millennial do a dance video to some hip hop rapper you've never heard of, you have to wonder... am I too old for this?

Yes creating video content for my brand is important, but do I have to learn how to twerk just to get ahead on Instagram?

Save your dancing for another day and listen up. What those twerking millennials are unknowingly creating is "look at me" content. You should be intentionally creating "learn from me" content. Huge difference.

In today's podcast you'll get my insider tips on how to create engaging video content that builds your know, like, and trust factor. And the best part is, you don't have do learn how to twerk to get started. Well... only if you want to;-)

But before you start your warm up routine, I've got something for you.

Has this ever happened to you?

You follow someone on Instagram and they post something with text on it and half of the wording is cut off, or they post a video and their head goes in and out of the screen, or they're cut off mid-sentence and you're left wondering what were they trying to say?

This is unfortunately a common problem for most of humanity and it's frustrating.

Yes, their intention is good by wanting to share something with you but their delivery is bad because they didn't fit the format.

So to guarantee that you never make your followers feel that way, this podcast episode is all about how to fit the format. There's even a secret 2 part trick that I always use so no matter whether I'm posting to Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook nothing is cut off.

This is all fine and good in theory, but when it comes to putting it into practice... that's a whole other story. But you're in luck. With trainings like Video Content Creation, Instagram Stories Training, Selfie School, and Instagram Reels training - all inside my Inner Circle - you'll never make these basic mistakes again.
