Hey everyone, I recently completed a 30-day challenge where I committed to talking to the camera every single day. The goal was to improve my on-camera presence, boost my confidence, and learn how to communicate more authentically. I did It not only because I want to be serious about content creation to have more money but I actually enjoy it but im introverted and can talk with someone max. about sounddesign and music production. Now that it's over, I wanted to share some key takeaways and practical tips that I believe could help anyone looking to improve their on-camera skills.

Initially, I felt awkward and stiff, but I learned that this is completely normal. The key is to push through that discomfort. One of the biggest lessons here was the importance of being in the right state before hitting record. I discovered that doing simple exercises like deep breathing, shaking out the tension, and adopting a power posture really helped shift my energy. These quick state-boosting techniques made a huge difference in how relaxed and confident I appeared on camera. 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟐: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 As I moved into week two, I focused more on the fundamentals: eye contact, hand gestures, and body language. I realized that making eye contact with the lens (not the screen) helps in connecting with the audience. Using hand gestures within the frame adds emphasis and helps in conveying the message more effectively. I also learned to be mindful of body language, ensuring that my movements were intentional and not just fidgeting out of nervousness.

Hello, this is my second video where I started to take YouTube more seriously and would be awesome if you could guys give me some things I could improve next time. I am new to YouTube and want to give it my best. I started to take action thanks to Synthesizers!

I have 650,000 YouTube subscribers, and 11,000 members in my Skool. Here's step by step how I’d start building an audience if I had to start again: 1. Warm Outreach 2. 2-Step Post 3. $1.80 Strategy 4. Content NOTE = This post was written to help people grow their free Skool community, which I believe is the best way to build a business online. If you're not growing a Skool community, this post can easily be adapted if you're trying to build an audience, get your first customer, or anything else that requires attention online. // 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏: 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 (𝟎 - 𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬) Do this 1st because it’s the fastest and easiest way to start getting attention. Here’s a full guide on how to do it. ☐ 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝: Reach out to 10 people // 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐: 𝟐-𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭 (𝟏𝟎 - 𝟓𝟎 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬) This is a simple strategy that leverages a loophole in social media algorithms to generate a tonne of attention even without thousands of followers. Do this 2nd because it only takes a few minutes, but can quickly get attention (if done well). Here’s a full guide I wrote on how to do it. ☐ 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝: Make a 2-step post on all your socials // 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑: $𝟏.𝟖𝟎 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 (𝟓𝟎 - 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬) This tactic got me my first 1,000 subscribers, made @Hamza Ahmed his first $1,000 online, and was the strategy @Goose Dunlavey and @Zain Miah used to win The Skool Games. It’s free, it works even if you have no audience, and it can be used on all of your favourite social sites (Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Reddit, and even Skool).

Recently I ran a free cohort teaching what I believe is the easiest 'Skool model' to start making money. 31 beginners have made between $250 - $2,000 with this model in the first 28 days. This is the model: // Step 1: FREE COMMUNITY A free community: - Helps you figure out what you should sell - Helps you become an expert by first helping people for free - Helps you get traffic because it acts like a lead magnet Use this lesson to help you figure out what your group is about. Click here to start your free group (and unlock $16,199 of free stuff) // Step 2: GET MEMBERS Start with warm outreach. Then make a "2-step post" on all your socials. Once you've done those two things, pick one of these traffic strategies. 1. Content (pick one platform, pick one cadence, then start) 2. Cold outreach (this is a great post about this) 3. Group strategy (find a community filled with your avatar, and become the most valued member) Spend 4 hours per day promoting your group. // Step 3: MESSAGE ALL MEMBER REQUESTS Use this Direct Message script. // Step 4: RESEARCH CALLS Get on calls with all members to: - Build goodwill - Figure out what problems/desires they have - Create a paid offer Use this Research Call script.

Hey Synths, please share your best tips for remembering information from books, podcasts or videos. Let's say we already have digital notes in obsidian or notion. What do you do next to internalize the knowledge?
