Laura's Quick Tips
See a real person in your mind’s eye who has a vested interest in hearing what you have to say.
Imagine you’re in the middle of a real conversation at a particular place, at a specific time.
Think of your message as a solution to a very real problem that your imagined friend is wrestling with.
The 5 basic questions will help you move beyond just speaking to camera to having what’s perceived by your viewers as an honest-to-goodness conversation. Not a sales message, but insight or advice coming from someone who’s been where they are now. A helpful and friendly professional who has an idea that can help them with their dilemma. A real person that they could turn to for further help.
