"The best content isn't about being perfect. It's about being consistent and genuinely helpful."
In her recent podcast appearance, LonelyGirl15 shared how she batch-records 4-6 videos in a single day using a teleprompter workflow. The secret? She writes scripts conversationally, then reads them like she's talking to a friend.

Tip of the Week: The 3-Second Hook Formula
Your first 3 seconds determine everything. Here's what works:
Start with the END result. Show the transformation, the finished product, or the surprising outcome before explaining how you got there. This triggers curiosity and stops the scroll.
Pro tip: Add a text overlay that reinforces your hook. Viewers often watch on mute, so your hook needs to work visually too.
