Easy Reels to Make
“I know I need to be using Reels on Instagram but...”
❌ I don’t know how to edit video
✅ Start with something simple, like this, which involved zero editing
❌ I don’t have time to make videos
✅ This video took 1 minute to script, 30 seconds to film, 2 minutes to add/time text, 1 minute to make a cover photo, and 3 minutes to write this caption — that’s less than 10 minutes!
❌ I don’t want to dance and point at things
✅ Cool, you don’t have to. This is one example of a video that does neither.
❌ I don’t like being on camera
✅ I know this can be intimidating, so start where you’re comfortable. Can you start showing up on Stories speaking to camera to then transition to Reels? What about going LIVE with a friend?
❌ I don’t know where to start
✅ We have a class on Video Best Practices in my @collegeofinfluence curriculum (l!nked in b!o)
❌ I won’t post until it’s perfect
✅ I’m in the camp of start before you’re ready and take action — only then will you start to shed or become aware of the things that are holding you back
