Do you need to be doing Instagram Reels? And if you ARE ready to take the dive, where do you get started?

Well, in today's episode, I walk you through some of my "beginner's tips" for getting started with Reels.

At first, I was overwhelmed and intimidated by all the professional-looking, high production value Reel videos in my feed.  So I avoided it for the longest time. But then I began researching IG Reels back in early 2022 -- experimenting, following other accounts, trying to figure out the mechanics of how to do it.

Finally, I decided to take the plunge and play in the platform -- "just as an experiment." Along the way, I became more confident, and every month I feel myself getting better.

In this podcast, I share some of my take-aways for "Reels-Rookies" or "Reels-Wanna-be's" for what to expect when you get started, what to keep in mind as you develop your skills, and shortcut hacks that helped me overcome my imposter syndrome.

I also talk about how you can take my free Instagram Reels Challenge with me this August! In this challenge, I teach you the mechanics of how to make your first reels confidently, so you can take this platform and run with it! NO MORE FEAR.

I wish someone had shared the ropes of reels with me like this when I was trying to learn the platform.
