When you’re looking to enhance or increase your online presence, it’s no secret that video is a GREAT option. Like many influencers and entrepreneurs, video scared us a little bit. We wanted everything to be perfect whereas, getting started was truly the only real obstacle, right? Mobile phones have come so far that our go-to tools for video set up is solely to support them.
Maybe one day we’ll grow into a more elaborate set up but the truth is, it’s just not that necessary for social media platforms. And, the truth is one of our first courses was recorded using our mobile phones propped up on a stack of books and guess what? It totally worked too!
However, we knew video was going to become (and has) a larger part of our business so we dug in and grabbed some inexpensive tools to enhance our video set up. Today, we just want to share those with you.
Whatever you do though …
Don’t let the start, stop you.
