Twinkle For The Camera
Want To Boost Your Online Profile?
Latest research shows that customers are more likely to buy after watching a video about you, your product or service. They want to get a sense of who you are, your energy and how you show up, not just what you offer.
And if you want to reach a national or global audience the quickest way to do this is to appear on screen and put your videos on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram as well as YouTube. However, for some of us this means taking a BIG step out of our comfort zones. Join us for our Twinkle For The Camera Workshops which will provide a safe and confidential space to practice being in front of the camera (whether it be on your phone, computer or video camera).
