You know that weird thing that happens when somebody points a camera at you?
Suddenly you forget how your hands work.
Your voice changes.
You sit differently.
You become acutely aware that you apparently have a tongue.

😂

Social media can do exactly the same thing.
We start creating a version of ourselves that we think looks more “businesslike”.
But maintaining a character is exhausting.
I'd much rather you were slightly imperfect and recognisably yourself.

The way you actually speak.
The things you actually think.
The laugh you'd normally edit out.

The occasional FFS under your breath.

That's the person people can actually get to know.

You don't need to become good at performing for the camera.

Your social media is part of your shop window.

If someone finds you online, they’re having a little nose around before they decide whether you’re for them.

Show them WHAT you do. Show them WHO you are. Show they WHY you do it. Give them a reason to come inside.

What could you put in your shop window today?

I have space for only 2 additional social media clients.

Message me if you want to grab one of those spaces before they go!

The perfectly planned post sitting in your drafts is doing absolutely nothing for your business.

The slightly imperfect one you actually post?

That one has a chance.

Go and post the thing.

People rarely see one post and immediately think, “TAKE MY MONEY.”

They see you.
Then they see you again.
Then again.

Eventually, you’re the person they remember when they need what you do.

Keep showing up.

You don’t need to film yourself working to create B-roll.
In fact, PLEASE don’t give me 47 clips of you typing on your laptop. 😂

B-roll is simply the little bits of footage that help tell the story of you, your life, your personality and your business.

Your morning coffee.
Walking the dog.
Getting in the car.
Reading a book.
Making lunch.
Going for a walk.
Sitting in a café.
The rain hammering against the window because, hello September in the UK.

None of it feels particularly exciting while you’re filming it.
But save those little 5 to 10 second clips and suddenly you’ve got footage to use behind:
Tips.
Stories.
Opinions.
Voiceovers.
Offers.
Introductions.
Educational posts.
The occasional rant.

So I’ve put together 30 easy B-roll ideas to film this September, and you don’t need a fancy camera, a beautiful office or a suspiciously perfect beige kitchen to do any of them.

Just get your phone out and start collecting clips.

Future you, desperately trying to make a Reel at 9pm on a Tuesday, will be VERY grateful.

Save this one and see how many you can film this month.

Read it. Check it. Post it.

Nobody is waiting with a red pen to mark your Instagram caption.

Perfecting it for another 45 minutes probably isn’t going to make anyone more likely to buy from you.

What have you been overthinking posting? If you do one thing for me today - post the post you've been holding on to!

If you run a small business, your personal brand exists whether you’ve deliberately created one or not.
People associate you with what you do.
Your personality. Your values. Your knowledge. Your way of doing things.

That’s a GOOD thing.

It means you don’t need to compete with businesses that have bigger teams, bigger budgets or shinier marketing.
THEY HAVEN'T GOT YOU!

So stop treating your face like it’s the bit that needs cropping out.

You’re part of the reason people choose the business.

(Having problems showing up, I can show you how)

I have space for one social media power hour next week!

One hour spent supporting you, making plans and helping you grow your confidence and content!

Let me know if you want to snap this up!

Let them in...

There’s a difference between being professional and pretending your life is permanently bloody immaculate.

People don’t need the perfectly styled desk, the colour-coded notebook and the strategically positioned cup of coffee every time you show up.

Sometimes they just need you.

The person running the business. The thoughts behind it. The slightly chaotic Tuesday. The thing that made you laugh. The reality behind what you do.

You don’t need to manufacture “authenticity”.

Just stop editing all the human bits out.
