Do you struggle to create and release video content? If you aren’t at least dipping your toes into video, you’re falling behind. Half of all social media users prefer video over other types of content. 58% of viewers will watch an entire brand video if it’s less than 60 seconds long*. So, why aren’t all businesses and content creators doing it? In this episode, we’re joined by Natasha Pierre, host of the Shine Online Podcast and Video Marketing Coach, to talk about the 5 biggest mindset blocks she sees with creating video. From perfectionism and imposter syndrome, to overwhelm and content planning, we talk about how these mindset blocks show up and how you can overcome them to create impactful video content. Natasha also shares her rationale for creating over 100 podcast episodes in an era where short-form content continues to gain popularity.
