[01]
The creator shares a four-step guide to help people overcome their fear of posting content online, based on a viral Substack article she wrote. She presents each tip sequentially: 1) Block anyone who makes you self-conscious, 2) Use exposure therapy by filming yourself daily without posting, 3) Find a 'posting buddy' for support, and 4) Batch create your first five pieces of content to post on consecutive days. She uses a mix of direct-to-camera address, screenshots, and illustrative B-roll to explain each step.

FIVE Days
So a few months ago, I wrote a self stack article about how to start posting content when you're terrified of putting yourself out there. It kind of went viral. I thought I would share it here in case it helps you too. The first tier I always tell people is so simple better kind of life changing, and that is to just block anyone who is making you feel self conscious about the idea of posting content. The second tip is talking to camera exposure therapy. So I always suggest spending a week committing to filming three videos a day. So just pick up your phone and talk to the camera and it doesn't have to be about anything in particular. You're not gonna post it anywhere, but it's an amazing way to train your brain to feel less self conscious talking to camera, which is something that I really struggled with at the beginning. The third one is to find a posting buddy who can be there with you when you do your first worst. And maybe not physically there, but you can be on the phone or WhatsApping. But just feeling like you're doing it with someone can be really helpful to take that first step. Final one is before you post anything, batch five pieces of content and then post those five pieces of content on consecutive days. This is so you don't do one post and then freak out and then never post again. And at the end of those five days, everything is gonna feel so much less scary. That's what worse for me, for all my fellow overthinkers. I hope it's helpful for you.
