Why My Raw Video Boosted My Confidence

Community connection is amazing fuel for motivation!
How I Made a Video That Felt Human
Do your videos sometimes feel a bit… robotic? Like you’re reading a script or presenting facts without feeling? Mine did! I wanted connection! So, I focused on letting my personality show. I shared a quick personal story related to the topic, laughed at my own mistakes, spoke conversationally, imagined talking to one friendly viewer. Like having a real chat, not giving a lecture! Making that conscious effort to be more human – warm, imperfect, relatable – made the video feel alive and connect deeply. Connection is everything!
Why My Bold Mindset Hook Worked Best
Ever start a video by sharing your own vulnerability or strong belief about the topic? It can be powerful! Instead of a generic intro, I tried starting with a bold mindset statement: “I used to be terrified of this, but here’s how I faced it…” or “Here’s my controversial opinion on [Topic]…” Like starting my story with my deepest feeling! It grabbed attention because it was honest and unexpected. People leaned in, connecting with the vulnerability or intrigued by the strong stance. Starting with authentic mindset hooks deeper.
