You’re really selling me! New mom here with a 10 month old and a corporate job. As I desire to have more kids I just don’t see how work can continue for me. But we hate to lose my income which is about half of it. I’ve always thought about creating content because I’ve been consuming it since UA-cam began (33 years old)… but have been so fearful of what people in my “real life” might think if they see my videos or posts. Especially in the beginning when I’m just starting out with barely no audience. Seems cringy to turn on a camera and just start talking like you but I absolutely love consuming that type of content, so I know it works. I just need to get past the mental block of it. 🥴
Yes! I know this feeling deeply. I was terrified of what my parents were going to think! It all felt so silly - and at the beginning I had to be in a group with other people who were doing it - so we could talk about how silly we felt! Ha Ha Ha! I can tell you though - I get FB memories pop up and I want to THANK that 7 years ago me and kiss her. Because had she not been brave - I wouldn't be where I am today. It changed our lives and gave us financial options. So I vote - DO IT!!!
Will you be offering the content class again? I am very interested in this. I have followed you for years on facebook. But as the others have stated below. I am right there with them on how do I get started and over the fear of starting the process.
Hey Leslie! Love your content here, on the gram, and podcast. I am trying to start my influencer journey and am struggling with the mental battle of being good enough at it. I joined brand academy back in the day and you’ve helped me so so much. I’m looking to invest more by joining your current course. Thank you for the words of encouragement and Godly advice. Side note when using the honing wand for your knives you shouldn’t do it over the chopping board. It can leave metal flakes from the knives on the surface and you should wipe off the knife after honing as well. don’t want to eat metal 😬
Oh my word!!! I never considered the METAL on my cutting board. Goodness. Im so glad you said something. As for the mental battle - I STILL have mind mess. I just work to not let it drive and tell myself - "it might be possible this could bless someone" and then push the post button. You can DO this.
I’m struggling with how to go from never posting to becoming a content creator. How do I make the transition well and the practical side of steps to take to monetize my account
Ok - so if you look at content creators - they POST. So maybe don't identify as a content creator at the beginning? I know for me - I am only just now saying it's what I do. After years of just posting!
Does this mean I would have to show my face and do videos?????? 😮 I mean at least in the beginning would I? It’s very nerve wracking. I am where some of these other women are. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years and I am very much lacking in the confidence department with this, which worries me about investing money in your program.
I mean - Let me ask you this.....would you trust me more or less if I didn't show my face? Is there something about your face that you feel particularly insecure about?

You have SO much wisdom to share on the internet - we need what you know!
I’m a Grammy too and I wish I didn’t fear this so much! I need to make some money!

Fertility note: The core of the pineapple has bromelain. Purportedly good for implantation after ovulation!

Okay, I love to knit. Where / how would I get started on social media?
