Okay, let's talk about keeping momentum without burning out because when you're just getting started
It can be exciting. You can be like, I'm gonna post a video every day
I'm gonna post a video five days a week like you can
Keep the momentum and be excited, but realistically we all have lives. We all have friends. We have family
We have other things we're involved in we have jobs and we're doing this on the side. So
You're wanting to be able to keep a rhythm that is
Sustainable while you're posting and I want to help you try to get it done so that it's convenient to add into your life
it's not feeling like a burden because if we are building a
Movement if we're building a community
You need it to be sustainable for your life and eventually it will probably be all that you do but for right now
It's probably not so
Let's pick for now
two to three days a week and
That's how many videos you're gonna post you're gonna be posting two to three times a week because that is sustainable
Doing a video beginning of week end of week doing a video
Monday Wednesday Friday, you don't do videos on the weekends or if you notice you try a couple different things
See when videos are performing try
Try for two weeks posting the same days in the next two weeks post
The opposite days and then you can see okay, which ones actually perform better
Maybe my audience is on their phone and on social media more on Saturday Sunday
So your videos could be Friday Saturday Sunday or like maybe everyone's off on Mondays Monday Friday Saturday
So keeping a rhythm testing. We're still trying to test and see Kate. When are people actually on?
the most and
I think whenever you are predictable and
You are able to say like in your bio posts every Wednesday
Like if you were able to keep that rhythm people know what to expect from you people know
When you're going to be there and that adds to the layer of trust
so I want to actually give you a few tools of
things of
Websites of tools that I use to help make life more convenient for me while I'm posting. So one of them is
Vista social
Vista social is a social media content
Management tool to where you can go in and schedule all of your posts. Let's say you film on
Mondays you set aside
Three hours on Mondays to film and put your content together and then you're done with it for the week
You can schedule it in here, which is really great. It's cheap
I think you can pay let's see their pricing is I think for a standard plan is
$32 a month and like that is a
To make your life more convenient to make this
Easier for you to start. It's worth paying the money. This has changed my life with posting
So here's a little bit of what it looks like on the inside. You can have a few different channels you post to
You can say I only want to post this video to this you can select and unselect the different
Channels that you want it to go to if you're only wanting it to go to Instagram only select Instagram and then you can
Create a new post
You can create a new post and you can upload your video in here and then it will let you as well in
When you're editing upload a thumbnail so that you're not having to go back to your post and edit your thumbnail you can
type your
Caption in here and then you can also you could do a photo. There's a lot of different options that it has and
It lets you
Change it up
Depending on what platform you're going. So like for YouTube, it's gonna let you add in your video title. It's gonna let you
Edit a few different things that you weren't editing. Otherwise, it also gives you the option to add in some like
Your music that you're putting in with your video if you're wanting to do that
So this has been a really great tool that has saved me so much time and you can come down here
You can schedule it. You can pick what day it'll also give you a time where they think your audience is there the most
So, let's say 7 a.m. Is the time it'll show you that 7 a.m. Is when your audience is on
Another tool is focus mate. Now if you feel like you have a hard time staying focused
getting motivated to film,
and you feel like you work better with other people,
but you don't wanna actually have someone
sitting in the room with you while you're filming,
because that can feel awkward,
Focusmate is actually really great.
You can schedule, let's say, a 30-minute session.
You and this one other person that you don't know
are gonna join, and then you start off,
you can start off your session,
hey, this is what I'm working on,
and then both of you can mute yourselves,
both of you can turn your cameras off,
you can make it to where,
however you feel the most comfortable,
and then you're just kind of working with someone else,
and at the end of the session,
you can, it's like an accountability partner,
like, I got this much done in this session,
or I actually didn't get anything done,
and I need to book another session
to try and get it done again.
So, these are just some tools to help
make your life a little bit easier
while you're in the midst of learning
and trying to muster up the strength is not,
it sounds very dramatic,
but to try and keep yourself in a pace,
because we're setting a routine,
we're setting, this is something new,
and so it's exciting, but you also,
if you need routine, it's ways to help it
add into your life a little bit better.
So, yeah.
