Did you know that your face will help you make sales? I’m totally serious! If you are posting every day but it’s of “stuff” like your home, food, family, etc. and not YOU, that’s a problem. Showing your face significantly increases trust between you and your followers.
Think about it – how many times do you get random messages or comments from profiles and when you click on it, you’re positive it’s fake? There’s even a whole show about this (it’s called Catfish, one of my favorite shows actually). Naturally, we all have our guards up afraid we are going to get scammed online. Unfortunately, that’s just the world we live in.
The more people can see you, they start to trust you because they know you are in fact who you say you are.
People follow you because they like YOU. While showing testimonials or before/afters of other people is nice, your audience wants to see your transformation the most.
So how can you do this?
I get it…you’re a little camera shy. That’s normal! Maybe you are insecure about how you look. You’re not where you’d like to be in your appearance. You think your voice sounds funny (ME TOO!). Remember the end result. If you truly want to build trust and help others with your product or service, you will get over your insecurities.
- Start with just a 15 second Instagram or Facebook story clip
- Send a private video or voice message to someone
- Show your progress photos on your feed
