Ever wonder how I\u2019m able to post so often? I\u2019ll let you in on the secret…<\/p>\n

BATCH RECORDING.<\/p>\n

No, I do NOT do my hair & make-up every day. LOL…good one!<\/p>\n

Let me show you the real process I go through whenever I want to create video content.<\/p>\n

Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not skip this step. I REPEAT.
\nDO NOT. SKIP. THIS STEP.<\/p>\n

Research is essential to curating relevant content that your audience will interact with regularly.<\/p>\n

Know what is top of mind in your AUDIENCE\u2019s industry.<\/p>\n

How do you do that? See what\u2019s trending and make it your own!<\/p>\n

Here are a few ways that I use to quickly brainstorm ideas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Research what\u2019s trending on the specific social media platform you\u2019d like to create content for. (5-10mins should be good)<\/li>\n
  2. Create own ideas based off of what you observe<\/li>\n
  3. Look at old vines and memes for inspiration<\/li>\n
  4. Bust out the Someecards!<\/li>\n
  5. Keep up with Twitter humor ????<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reminder: Batch Recording means Batch Research.
    \nLook for trends, ideas, and challenges that you could easily record all at once.<\/p>\n

    This will save you soooo much time in the planning and prep phases.<\/p>\n

    Aim for 3-10 concepts to record, each and every session.<\/p>\n

    Audio<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Your music may already be chosen, if you picked a challenge. Perfect!<\/p>\n

    With that in mind, make sure your audio is different from other big challenges if you\u2019re filming your own concept.<\/p>\n

    Royalty-Free Music
    \nJust like photos, make sure that you\u2019re using royalty-free music as well!
    \nHere are two places you can find a plethora of royalty-free audio files to feed that creative soul.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. YouTube Audio Library<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. NoCopyrightSounds<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Prep<\/strong><\/p>\n

      You\u2019re almost ready to record!<\/p>\n

      Time to prep:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Hair & Make-up: Do you!
        \nStay on brand. For some of you, that will mean full hair and make-up.
        \nFor others, that will mean a messy bun and pajamas. Rock it.<\/li>\n
      2. Setting: Where are you going to record?
        \nTake a look at the lighting and background!
        \nMake sure to do a test check for anything off-brand.
        \nIf you\u2019re using natural light, move the camera around and find the best lighting depending on the time of day in the room.<\/li>\n
      3. Make something \u201coff\u201d:
        \nYes, we don\u2019t want anything off-brand in the frame but if there\u2019s something noticeable that stands out, people will comment. That helps you go viral!
        \nDo things like changing props in the background, bold shoes, obviously bad hair, etc.<\/li>\n
      4. Need a tripod? Here\u2019s the model we recommend for its versatility.
        \nOtherwise, use something around the house with some weight to it like a mug or a candle to prop up your phone. No need to fancy studio equipment and all the latest gadgets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
