Do you like this style of video? I had so much fun making it and so proud of the results! Also, here's my content planner template! vanessalau.thrivecart.com/content-planner/
Vlogingg Tutorial.. I love it. I always like see your cats. And you happy and smyle its good. Make us feel like we need be your friends because your funny. I need be like that.. alot advices in 1 video. Tks so much from Brasil =) A gente curte muito seu trabalho daqui. Todos os criadores tem você como inspiração. Obrigado.
We like this style because it showcases you truest qualities as an individual and creative artist, keep it up and keep trying new styles of filming I bet you’ll reinvent the vlog soon
“Let’s do it together” drew me in. This was exactly the video I didn’t know I NEEDED. Thank you so much for sharing not only your process but your challenges. I loved learning about how you set yourself up for success by changing “content” to “mind magic.” Thank you again!!
“Done is better than perfect” indeed!! I am still not where I script my videos first, I just do my content then script the parts that need it… I am still finding my way to what feels less hard for me. Lots of room for improvement on my end. Thanks you for taking us to work with you!!!
Love that!! Honestly I rather be able to speak off the cuff but I often need a script so I don’t go all over the place 😂😂 I would rather not script though!!
OMG, Vanessa, this video is loaded with AWESOME value! The editing is on point as always. What I really loved is how you paused to show us the roadblocks you hit and your way of navigating each one. This format of giving super useful tips as you learn them in real time is so much better than your old "10 cool IG hacks" videos (although they were useful too, I just resonate with this format more). You're an inspiration, Vanessa, and I must say, you're really motivating me to restart my RUclips journey 🤩
Absolutely loved this video! As a brand new creator who’s also trying to figure out the whole content game, watching this felt like I was bouncing ideas back and forth with a co-worker. I think it would be such a cool idea if you live streamed your daily work sessions. You could cycle between 25 minute intense work sessions then a 5 minute break to discuss any insights you learned in real time. It would also feel a lot less lonely as a solopreneur having a virtual work buddy on my screen haha.
yes! I've been creeping other creators who do the "study with me" types of videos. its a format i'm considering! screenshotted your comment for future idea :)
This is just amazing that you can just speak eloquently while you are giving this tutorial and not stumble on your words without reading a script. Very cool!
As someone who has been overthinking my content strategy HARD which has then led to procrastination, this behind-the-scenes video was soooo appreciated! Thank you! I am certainly looking forward to making time to do this too!
thank you for sharing your thoughts! yes, this type of content has been a lot more effortless/fun for me. There's still it's challenges of figuring out a new format, but overall this experience has been healing for me. Thank you so much for tuning in and watching my old AND new videos!
Your most recent videos since returning from your hiatus have been so much more helpful for someone like me who doesn't intend of having a big team in my business and currently taking care of all aspects of it at this stage, as well as wanting to create more time freedom. Being able to see how you utilise your time working for yourself has also been more helpful than you might think. AND, I mean this in the best way possible, these videos feel more authentic than before your hiatus and I think you've touched on this in a video recently so it definitely shows 😊
I love Descript! You can also go to the AI feature and ask it to select clips for social media. Then you can set up your captions and copy that style to the rest of your short videos. Huge time saver.
I tend to get so stuck in the planning and scripting phase that it roadblocks me from moving forward. This is SO helpful and I will be purchasing your notion template - THANK YOU for this!!
Vanessa, i'm new here and just want to say THANK YOU.. through motivating yourself, you show us the AUTHETHIC & RAW parts of content creation & your style & attention to detail is amazing! Keep on inspiring and educating us, the possibilities are endless 🔥
OMG, Descript is amazing!! So glad I came across your video. This will make my life a little easier to start a YT channel. Thanks for sharing all the tips
I am so happy you are still pushing forward in spite of all of the internal/ external challenges!! Thank you, all of your content is helpful even when you are not specifically teaching something. ❤
I learned a lot of new stuff from this, and some of it I knew how to do and was surprised you didn't - your joy is contagious! I watched your content YEARS ago and was always thinking about how smart and data-driven you are, but now we get to see what seems to be a softer, considerate, happier you! Thank you for taking us on each part of this journey in life :)
haha i love that!! what were some things you were surprised i didnt know how to do? that's powerful! when you realize that you know more than you think you do!
@@VanessaLau Namely reformatting the text you had onscreen from horizontal > vertical/inserting it over your VO! I do this a lot for work (game trailers) and am constantly going 😬 at coworkers that insist that reformatting for vertical or vice versa should be an easy ask...it really isn't, at least when graphics / a lot of captions/text is involved 😂 Love that you do what I do sometimes, which is just...remake those few seconds. Often much quicker than finding the original file and looks great because you made it for this new format anyway. TY for the vid
I LOVE the format of this video! Also craaaazy to see how you made 22 videos in a few days - seeing your workflow is super helpful for me to know how I can improve my speed and output too
Your excitement when the short video flowed w/ the text was literally my reaction. I love that feeling of accomplishment and genuinely love editing videos!! Thanks for sharing your working day 👌🏾
I loveeee this video Vanessa!! I like the vlog style and your cute editing. I love how you are so open and share your process with us. Thank you for this! I always look forward to your videos. ❤❤❤❤
you beautiful wonderful soul! I thank you so much for the gift that you provided to all of us with this creation. You are amazing! May love and light go your way and bless your home! May it all multiply for you.
The vlog was sooo well-made and I had a lot of fun watching it!!! Congrats on completing 26 reels in two days, that's huge!! 🥳🎉 Proud of you and it's definitely inspiring me to just take action too instead of overthinking 🥺 Thanks for always keeping it real and teaching us along the way! I appreciate you so much ☺💕
I usually don't comment but I feel like now more than ever, positive comments and feedback is what you need to keep going and I just want to say how inspired I am by the shift and how much I love the new pivot! The raw, authentic, learning something new and being honest about it. Focusing on what YOU want to do. Showing your vibe. I've literally binged all your new videos and feel so bloody inspired!! I followed you before your break, binged your podcast where I felt you were your most raw, I bought bossgram academy but massively successful people always felt on a different pedestal that I'll never reach so although I looked at you as an expert but felt disconnected. All the things you said previously. Well I'm feeling connected and inspired by you more than ever (actually more than ANYONE in a looooong time) and EXCITED to restart my content creation journey with a different mindset and become more authentic. Thank you and keep doing what you do!
Your video is arriving for me at the right exact moment ✨ I'm a new content creator (for AI, ML, tech) and just about to start repurposing my long form to short form. Wishing everyone luck on their content journeys! 🌿 PS can you share how you got that slanted/vignette screen view like that? So cool!
One of the most relatable and valuable videos on the internet. I struggle with comparison and it's really really challenging. Would love to see more like this! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Will be rewatching :)
I love Notion! It is so useful. Also, THANK YOU for this. I'm also on my journey of starting again and with all the content already out there it has felt like a lot, but it helps to see other people navigating the process as well.
I love this type of video soo much❤ It's the perfect mix of information, entertainment and a bit of nolstagia due to the clip when you work and you put some music on top( it giving me late 2010s youtube video vibes)
Wow, you've created 26 videos in just 2 days? That's impressive dedication! It's inspiring to see your commitment to creating content. I absolutely agree with you that "done is better than perfect." Your audience will appreciate your authenticity and dedication for sure. 😊
yeah! i was wildly impressed and surprised. thank you so much! all it took was a little accountability (filming this video), and removing the idea of perfect!
Oh my goodness, this video was FULL of useful information. Thank you for filming this! I agree that documenting these things helps hold me accountable. I mostly do budget meal plans on my channel and filming it helps keep me on track. I actually started my content creating journey as a short form creator and I struggled to switch to long form. Now that I’ve got the hang of long form, I don’t like making short form anymore 😅 I prefer at least 3 minutes these days. I’ve been having some success with vertical long form but not on Insta. I’m not sure how I feel about Insta honestly. I’m considering dropping it completely and focusing more on RUclips. 🤔
I've been watching this video over and over again and I come back to it almost everyday because I feel like l have a colleague who's guiding me to overcome my procrastination and understand that it's okay to have roadblocks. Thank you for this and I really appreciate for you to taking time to do this real life process on how you are doing your videos. It inspired me to work on my own process as well and I feel like I know what to do after watching yours. ❤
It's commendable how you're tackling the challenge of short-form videos head-on! 💪 Your strategy to start with what feels easy and gradually build momentum is a solid approach that aligns with mastering any skill. Keep up the great work!
i really , really loved this video and want more of them pls ! as a creator that started on YT first, I felt that "perfectionism" about creating short form. I have been trying to change that perspective little by little, but its always a mountain to overcome, so I love that you took us with you on the BTS of your process.
I loved watching this video so much!! I have been procrastinate creating content for so long because when I look at these “super professional looking videos - where the person comes across perfect - I feel like I’m not good enough. But this video makes me feel like it’s possible! Thanks Vanessa.
you're welcome! that was the goal! I think we can all relate to feeling overwhelmed when we see other people's "perfect version". thank you for watching!
Im going to use your approach and create short form from my long form too! This was a great video. Love how authentic you are and love the vlog style as I love seeing how other people live and do things! Love this version of you :) never change ❤
You got a thumbs up from me today! I also need to create more short form content (and have been avoiding it). This is exactly what I needed to see to get motivated!
Watched from start to finish. I love it but also feel like there’s time that can be cut from process! I’ll make a video about it lol. Also you saying “seeing Content Ideas” creates pressure is so real. So real.
Looove this thank you! I want to start vlogging again and being more consistent but also providing value, thank you for sharing the information and being so transparent you have a new subbie great information
I loved watching this! Definitely motivating me to get my videos done. Watching that the process is sometimes difficult for you and even you have a hard time getting it done.. makes me feel less stressed about it. Thank you!!
I pressed the like button as soon as you started the vlogstyle lunch part! I know its new for you but its what I love to watch and vlogstyle is what makes me feel more connected to a person more than just (scripted) talking head videos
This was an incredibly helpful and useful video! Thanks so much for taking us on a journey with you. It would be amazing if you could do something similar for batch long-form content - how do you plan it, how long it takes to film, coming up with hooks/thumbnails etc. It's interesting to see that even for big content creators like yourself, who have systems in place, it takes a long time and some hard work to get the content out! I always thought it gets faster and easier the more you do it.
I haven’t started properly making short form videos, I uploaded my first video today and this video will certainly help me when I’m making short form! Thank you!!!
I really like the vlog style, but most of all i like your tips to not get overwhelm or experience negative emotions when trying to make content ex. Naming your files think tank, seeds, mind mood etc.💖💖 💖
Wow! What a gem ✨I was thinking should I write a comment or not since there are so many people cheering for you in the comment section, but then I reminded myself that I am a therapist AND a creator and that I like when people say nice things about my content, too. So yes, Vanessa, girl, this video was very much needed. Thank you endlessly!
you look so much more healthier and happier now- great strategies for less resistance as a content creator - as we know it can get exhausting. keep going stay healthy.💯💯👏🏼👏🏼
I've been trying to grow my following on my Insta. I don't want to be an "influencer" exactly. I want to have a bigger sphere of influence to reach more people for my fitness platform. That being said, my struggle is always wanting "perfection" and "done is better than perfect" is so true! Thanks for sharing and I love these types of vids! ❤❤
Mindset tip: Whenever a specific event, or activity, "stresses you out", it's a trauma trigger. I would recommend to use the CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which I prefer calling Cognitive reappraisal, meaning providing a new meaning, or purpose, to whatever is causing the stress. The cognitive reappraisal MUST be accompanied by a new FEELING to replace the old stressful feeling. You can't simply "think" and then expect it to go away. So if Short form videos stress you out, be clear that it's connected to your past painful moment, face it be in the feeling of it. Then make peace with it by forgiving and UNDERSTANDING your past situation. Then grab the belief behind the feeling causing the stress and change the belief while in the moment that you are feeling the stress. Once you make the connection, the stress "should" goes away almost immediately because you gave the traumatic feeling no purpose or reason to keep you in that "fight or flight" experience. This makes your recovery much faster and makes you more productive without the negativity.
That's good advice! Too often people just say to use CBT techniques or positive focus bypassing the emotion linked to that trigger, which is the core of it. Shadow work + Belief reprogramming together work WONDERS ❤
oo so helpful! thank you. i like the idea of how "thinking" wont make something go away and instead focus on understanding the feeling and the belief behind it. powerful stuff. thank you and grateful for you dennis!
@@astrea9279 You are on point. I had heated debates with ChatGPT because deep down I knew that we, as humans don't think logically. So ChatGPT led me in the neuroscience direction and then I just kept going down the deep end, while analyzing my own mindset and personal development. Personal development and mindset are connected because our emotions are connected with our cognitive mind. 2 different hemispheres connected to create our perception of self and our overall perception. So we think through biases and perceptions. That is the whole basis of my mindset strategy.
@@VanessaLau You are significantly ahead of the game. Regaining your skills and habits to work as effective as before is the least of your challenges. By overcoming the emotional challenge of your last experience is actually a blessing in disguise. The growth that you will develop, as a result of those challenges, will expand your mind exponentially. You won't be the same and you will see life from a different perception.
Wow so you did a month worth of content in 2 days? Amazing girl!! Can you do a beginners version? Like for someone who doesn't have b-roll saved, no story posts but they want to get started on making consistent short form videos? Also, how do you come up with your captions?
YA! I was so surprised! very happy with the result. for broll, i just take videos of myself doing random things (i like using the back camera on my iphone at 0.5 zoom out for a nicer effect) and save them to an album. i know at some point i might use it! and for content ideas, if you don't have story posts, then i'd look at comment sections (either of your own content or other peoples content - lots of gems there!) For captions, i dont have a specific process, i kind of just write on the spot what's on my mind similar to scripting! i do feel that talking heads don't need a long caption tho! hope that helps :)
Jenna does the same for me, she’s the best. Her prompt to tap into the rich content via archived storys gave me the idea to literally screen record some of my awesome, extensive storys. The screen record becomes a reel with some trending audio. It’s lazy I guess but it’s content. I’ll also recreate some raw media inspired by those as well. Thanks for this video Vanessa. I loved seeing how you’re applying the “start messy” mindset because I need to keep reminding myself of this.
Jenna is an amazing human being! love that you have this idea! sometimes we don't capture our genius enough. thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
I like these longer vloggy type videos. Its the trend now and viewers like longer formats. You can still keep using the Chapters for viewers who just want to get to the content. I hope you are enjoying the creativity now and are happier!
Omg you are so much productive and i am literally shocked how much you are dedicated...watching from start ing to end of video and never get bored ..lot of things to learn from and thank you for sharing your work vlog❤❤❤ ...
Thank you for this! I might be a complete maniac, but the "strike out" command is a first for me...which feels so much safer than straight up deleting when you're editing... Annnd I dive deeper into Descript (which I love so much).
Wow, watching your process is so inspiring! You're incredibly organized and dedicated in everything you do. Such a hardworking! BTW, belated happy birthday to Vanessa! 🎂
Thank you so much for the birthday wish! and i appreciate it! fun fact is im actually the most unorganized out of all my friends IRL... but maybe with content it's the only thing i'm kind of organized with.. ish. LOL!
Hi Vanessa! That was awesome, thank you for posting it! I would love to see a video about the results of this videos and the insights you have after this process and after publishing them. Which ones you thought did better and why, which ones brought you better results with less effort, which ones were a lot of effort and none results, etc. thank youuuuu and lots of love from a Brazilian follower
The way I go through this exact thing! I've been creating content for awhile but still feel like I haven't found my style and I end up not even posting!
Thank you soo much for this video, it really simplified content creation for me. I always feel stuck when starting something and your video inspired me to take the first steps!! I'm new here on your channel but you can be sure I'm going to marathon your videos. I loved your content!!
I absolutely loved this video, you made me want to try doing Instagram reels and maybe focus a little on YT shorts, also I wish I had someone to hold me accountable, I have a cleaning channel but I have a business cleaning so I struggle to find time to do videos or the standard of my videos aren't good enough so I scrap them, you really inspire me hope you keep doing videos like this always nice to see the actual planning behind the scenes. 😊
Love this style of video with every day life and helpful tips. I really like your new attitude and approach to Social Media. You have a more relaxed pace in this video, which I really appreciate more than the fast-paced ones. It's easier and more fun to watch. Please throw in a GRWM... your lashes and natural makeup is beautiful!!
It was great to learn about the basics of making short form videos and how to use Descript and Notion in the same video for Content Creation. Thank you for valuable content. Loaded info this video. I am saving this one to watch again.

Are the titles being split tested? I started watching this morning. I came back to finish, I have a different title this evening.

i really , really loved this video and want more of them pls ! as a creator that started on YT first, I felt that "perfectionism" about creating short form. I have been trying to change that perspective little by little, but its always a mountain to overcome, so I love that you took us with you on the BTS of your process.
I loved watching this video so much!! I have been procrastinate creating content for so long because when I look at these “super professional looking videos - where the person comes across perfect - I feel like I’m not good enough.
But this video makes me feel like it’s possible! Thanks Vanessa.
you're welcome! that was the goal! I think we can all relate to feeling overwhelmed when we see other people's "perfect version". thank you for watching!
Im going to use your approach and create short form from my long form too! This was a great video. Love how authentic you are and love the vlog style as I love seeing how other people live and do things! Love this version of you :) never change ❤
i loveeeddd this video so much
I've felt the SAME with short form content. You're inspiring me!
You got a thumbs up from me today! I also need to create more short form content (and have been avoiding it). This is exactly what I needed to see to get motivated!
thank you!! and yes you're welcome! i was honestly so surprised to get that many videos done. i hope sharing my process helps!
Watched from start to finish. I love it but also feel like there’s time that can be cut from process! I’ll make a video about it lol.
Also you saying “seeing Content Ideas” creates pressure is so real. So real.
Looove this thank you! I want to start vlogging again and being more consistent but also providing value, thank you for sharing the information and being so transparent you have a new subbie great information
It's like you were in my head the owl time ! Thanks for this vidéo. It's help me for my Batching content of the week. !
You did amazing! Thanks for creating such a relatable video for those who have similar struggles! Super PROUD of how you powered through
I loved watching this! Definitely motivating me to get my videos done. Watching that the process is sometimes difficult for you and even you have a hard time getting it done.. makes me feel less stressed about it. Thank you!!
girl, the tips are amazing. Thank you soooo much!
I pressed the like button as soon as you started the vlogstyle lunch part! I know its new for you but its what I love to watch and vlogstyle is what makes me feel more connected to a person more than just (scripted) talking head videos
And this video got to the right audience and here you've blown. Thank you for encouragement, it's been in my mind but gets discouraged. More views
This was an incredibly helpful and useful video! Thanks so much for taking us on a journey with you. It would be amazing if you could do something similar for batch long-form content - how do you plan it, how long it takes to film, coming up with hooks/thumbnails etc. It's interesting to see that even for big content creators like yourself, who have systems in place, it takes a long time and some hard work to get the content out! I always thought it gets faster and easier the more you do it.
I haven’t started properly making short form videos, I uploaded my first video today and this video will certainly help me when I’m making short form! Thank you!!!
I really like this style of video. Not only is it informative, but it's fun to watch and I got my own ideas from watching you!
I really like the vlog style, but most of all i like your tips to not get overwhelm or experience negative emotions when trying to make content ex. Naming your files think tank, seeds, mind mood etc.💖💖 💖
i LOVE behind the scenes working vlogs like this 😭🫶
i'm glad you do! it honestly took the pressure off of being an expert and teacher. felt like we were peers working together :)
Wow! What a gem ✨I was thinking should I write a comment or not since there are so many people cheering for you in the comment section, but then I reminded myself that I am a therapist AND a creator and that I like when people say nice things about my content, too. So yes, Vanessa, girl, this video was very much needed. Thank you endlessly!
hahahah yes!! i love kind comments. it totally keeps me going! thank you so much for being here and watching. appreciate you!!
tonnes of value and nicely put together vid, thanks Vanessa 💯
you look so much more healthier and happier now- great strategies for less resistance as a content creator - as we know it can get exhausting. keep going stay healthy.💯💯👏🏼👏🏼
Not me coming here for the third time to watch this video. Vanessa, love you. Keep documenting this, it's so encouraging 🤎
Truly high quality content! You're one of the best subs I've made! Thank you!!!
You just made a content of you making content. It's crazy how you gave me insights of how easy is creating content 😮
Wow! That was 2dys of full work. Thanks for showing us your work process and don't forget to write a book in the future. You are truly amazing!
Love the edits in this video it feels fresh and new ❤
I love watching you work as i learn so much more
Giiiiiirrrrrrlllll thank you! For all of this!
This video is pure GOLD, Thank you for showing yourself in action ! I am going to work now ah ah !
I've been trying to grow my following on my Insta. I don't want to be an "influencer" exactly. I want to have a bigger sphere of influence to reach more people for my fitness platform. That being said, my struggle is always wanting "perfection" and "done is better than perfect" is so true! Thanks for sharing and I love these types of vids! ❤❤
Mindset tip: Whenever a specific event, or activity, "stresses you out", it's a trauma trigger. I would recommend to use the CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which I prefer calling Cognitive reappraisal, meaning providing a new meaning, or purpose, to whatever is causing the stress. The cognitive reappraisal MUST be accompanied by a new FEELING to replace the old stressful feeling. You can't simply "think" and then expect it to go away. So if Short form videos stress you out, be clear that it's connected to your past painful moment, face it be in the feeling of it. Then make peace with it by forgiving and UNDERSTANDING your past situation. Then grab the belief behind the feeling causing the stress and change the belief while in the moment that you are feeling the stress. Once you make the connection, the stress "should" goes away almost immediately because you gave the traumatic feeling no purpose or reason to keep you in that "fight or flight" experience. This makes your recovery much faster and makes you more productive without the negativity.
That's good advice! Too often people just say to use CBT techniques or positive focus bypassing the emotion linked to that trigger, which is the core of it. Shadow work + Belief reprogramming together work WONDERS ❤
oo so helpful! thank you. i like the idea of how "thinking" wont make something go away and instead focus on understanding the feeling and the belief behind it. powerful stuff. thank you and grateful for you dennis!
@@astrea9279 You are on point. I had heated debates with ChatGPT because deep down I knew that we, as humans don't think logically. So ChatGPT led me in the neuroscience direction and then I just kept going down the deep end, while analyzing my own mindset and personal development. Personal development and mindset are connected because our emotions are connected with our cognitive mind. 2 different hemispheres connected to create our perception of self and our overall perception. So we think through biases and perceptions. That is the whole basis of my mindset strategy.
@@VanessaLau You are significantly ahead of the game. Regaining your skills and habits to work as effective as before is the least of your challenges. By overcoming the emotional challenge of your last experience is actually a blessing in disguise. The growth that you will develop, as a result of those challenges, will expand your mind exponentially. You won't be the same and you will see life from a different perception.
Her videos are more chill now less faster . It feels better to watch
Wow so you did a month worth of content in 2 days? Amazing girl!! Can you do a beginners version? Like for someone who doesn't have b-roll saved, no story posts but they want to get started on making consistent short form videos?
Also, how do you come up with your captions?
YA! I was so surprised! very happy with the result. for broll, i just take videos of myself doing random things (i like using the back camera on my iphone at 0.5 zoom out for a nicer effect) and save them to an album. i know at some point i might use it!
and for content ideas, if you don't have story posts, then i'd look at comment sections (either of your own content or other peoples content - lots of gems there!)
For captions, i dont have a specific process, i kind of just write on the spot what's on my mind similar to scripting! i do feel that talking heads don't need a long caption tho! hope that helps :)
Jenna does the same for me, she’s the best. Her prompt to tap into the rich content via archived storys gave me the idea to literally screen record some of my awesome, extensive storys. The screen record becomes a reel with some trending audio. It’s lazy I guess but it’s content. I’ll also recreate some raw media inspired by those as well. Thanks for this video Vanessa. I loved seeing how you’re applying the “start messy” mindset because I need to keep reminding myself of this.
Jenna is an amazing human being! love that you have this idea! sometimes we don't capture our genius enough. thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
Loved this vlog, Vanessa!!!
I'm so early! lol. Keep it up girl, your momentum is building back up and it's showing!!
thank you so much!!
Been a quiet follower of yours since before your break. I love your style and the editing of this video. Keep shining 😍 Love from Philippines🤍
Love how transparent you are with everything.
I love this new style of yours. I feel like I am really getting to know you as a creator. Love the realness ❤
I like these longer vloggy type videos. Its the trend now and viewers like longer formats. You can still keep using the Chapters for viewers who just want to get to the content. I hope you are enjoying the creativity now and are happier!
thank you so much! yeah, this was really rewarding to create. thank you for the perspective and feedback!
Omg you are so much productive and i am literally shocked how much you are dedicated...watching from start ing to end of video and never get bored ..lot of things to learn from and thank you for sharing your work vlog❤❤❤
...
Thank you for this! I might be a complete maniac, but the "strike out" command is a first for me...which feels so much safer than straight up deleting when you're editing... Annnd I dive deeper into Descript (which I love so much).
Wow, watching your process is so inspiring! You're incredibly organized and dedicated in everything you do. Such a hardworking! BTW, belated happy birthday to Vanessa! 🎂
Thank you so much for the birthday wish! and i appreciate it! fun fact is im actually the most unorganized out of all my friends IRL... but maybe with content it's the only thing i'm kind of organized with.. ish. LOL!
Loved this video. It was a treat seeing more of the personal side combined with good information.
I'M LOVING THIS ERAAAAA OF YOU!!!
This is great!! I love how you shortage process. Really helpful. And Discrept looks awesome!!
Hi Vanessa! That was awesome, thank you for posting it! I would love to see a video about the results of this videos and the insights you have after this process and after publishing them. Which ones you thought did better and why, which ones brought you better results with less effort, which ones were a lot of effort and none results, etc. thank youuuuu and lots of love from a Brazilian follower
The way I go through this exact thing! I've been creating content for awhile but still feel like I haven't found my style and I end up not even posting!
Love Descript for editing and it was so cool to see how you use it!
Thank you soo much for this video, it really simplified content creation for me. I always feel stuck when starting something and your video inspired me to take the first steps!!
I'm new here on your channel but you can be sure I'm going to marathon your videos. I loved your content!!
I absolutely loved this video, you made me want to try doing Instagram reels and maybe focus a little on YT shorts, also I wish I had someone to hold me accountable, I have a cleaning channel but I have a business cleaning so I struggle to find time to do videos or the standard of my videos aren't good enough so I scrap them, you really inspire me hope you keep doing videos like this always nice to see the actual planning behind the scenes. 😊
What an excellent video. You made it with everything I feel when I go to make reels so it’s help me overcome my fear and overwhelm
You're so funny. I really enjoyed your intro!!! ❤😊
Love this style of video with every day life and helpful tips. I really like your new attitude and approach to Social Media. You have a more relaxed pace in this video, which I really appreciate more than the fast-paced ones. It's easier and more fun to watch. Please throw in a GRWM... your lashes and natural makeup is beautiful!!
thank you! it's a lot more peaceful to just have fun with it and be more focused on the process than the result. appreciate this feedback!
Hi, New Subscriber Here! I absolutely love how much I related to this video. I overthink it so hard.
It was great to learn about the basics of making short form videos and how to use Descript and Notion in the same video for Content Creation. Thank you for valuable content. Loaded info this video. I am saving this one to watch again.
