SPI 924: Unexpected Wins From Our Short-Form Challenge

Do you have a business, or are you just making videos? Many people chase going viral instead of focusing on what matters most for online entrepreneurs.

Building confidence and consistency are the true benefits of posting daily. These are the skills that will grow your brand and put you in front of the right audience!

Today, I’m chatting with two creators who’ve committed to showing up on camera every day for a solid month. If you’ve listened in on last week’s episode and have followed my 30-day short-form video challenge, you know the benefits of something like this go well beyond getting a bunch of views.

First, I’m chatting with Virginia A. Lee. She’s used this challenge to level up her courage to post and experiment. With some of her more “imperfect” videos performing well, she’s found more freedom to build a following around her authenticity.

My second guest is Jennifer Sinclair from Catucopia. She’s learning how to grab attention with her cat training videos and getting into the rhythm of creating every day. With her now optimized production workflow, she’s keeping the momentum going beyond the first month!

Listen in on this session with Virginia and Jennifer to get a big dose of inspiration! And if you’re ready to get started with short-form video, sign up for my upcoming 14-day challenge!
