Memorable Quotes:

“If you’re shooting content on your own, we don’t have 3 and 4 and 8 and 10 hours to shoot content at once. If you don’t have a plan of what you’re shooting, you’re going to waste a lot of time!”

“As long as you’re posting consistently, the algorithm will love you & your audience will expect that content from you on those days…”

“Just keep going. I know it can get challenging when life happens, or you feel like you’re not growing fast enough, or you see this blogger over here & she’s getting all this engagement & working with brands you want to work with. Just keep going. I believe the universe will reward that consistency & the willingness to grow.”

Memorable Quotes:

“[A brand story] is really about self-reflection — who are you as a person & where are you at your core. That’s what’s really going to create an impact…we’re constantly evolving & the “what you do” will change.”

“It’s about getting creative & asking yourself, how can I use this experience that’s happening now in my life & do it to create content with ease. It’s all about storytelling — even when we’re selling, we’re storytelling. It’s very powerful to become a great storyteller when you’re building a personal brand.”

Memorable Quotes:

“Most of the best ideas are inspired by somebody else’s good idea. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting that inspiration, as long as you’re getting it from all kinds of different places, so that when you put it all together to make your own visual brand, it is unique to you & you don’t look like everyone else.”
