Bite the Bullet: Why It’s Time to Get In Front of the Camera (Even If You’re Scared)
Share
Fear of getting in front of the camera is the number one issue we run into when working with small businesses. Even if the client went as far as hiring us to do a complete shoot, we often hear "But I don't like the way I look..." or "I'm never going to share this." Why? Fear-based reasons they've made up in their own heads.
But, let’s get real:
They know video builds trust. They know showing your face helps your brand stand out. Right?
And yet… they're still avoiding the camera like it's an ex at the grocery store.
That's them. Let's talk about YOU.
If you’ve ever said:
-
“I hate how I look on camera.”
-
“My voice sounds weird.”
-
“I don’t know what to say.”
-
“It’s just not my thing…”
You're not alone — but it’s time to call it what it is: a visibility block that’s costing you connection, clients, and credibility.
First, let’s debunk the biggest myth:
"I need to be confident before I get on camera."
Nope. Confidence doesn’t come before the camera. It comes from getting on camera — awkward takes, stumbles, and all. It’s built in the doing.
Why Showing Your Face is Non-Negotiable in 2025
Trust is the New Currency
We’re in a human-first marketing era. People don’t want to buy from faceless logos anymore. They want to know who’s behind the business.
Your face builds trust faster than any caption ever will.
The truth is:
You are your brand. And the sooner you get in front of the camera, the faster your audience will trust you, connect with you, and buy from you.
You’re the Reason People Choose YOU
Let’s be honest: you’re probably not the only one offering what you do.
What makes you different?
You. Your energy, your story, your voice, your vibe. That can’t be duplicated — but it can be hidden if you’re afraid to show up.
People want to work with real humans, not just polished posts.
Video Is a Shortcut to Connection
A 30-second reel can do what 10 static posts can’t:
- Make someone laugh
- Help them feel seen
- Teach them something valuable
- Make them say, “I want to work with her” or "I need to have this product".
If you’re not on video, you’re asking people to take the long road to get to know you — and we hate to be the ones to tell you— but most of them won’t make the trip.
