Let's Build Confidence Together

April 02, 2024 • Amanda Casinha-Ginther

Real talk: showing up online is scary. It just IS. Hitting record on a Reel or going Live can bring up all kinds of insecurities and take your imposter syndrome from 0-100 in no time. But showing up authentically, warts and all, is the best way to build a powerful connection with your audience.

In this short’n’sweet episode of Marketing Sucks, I share five tips that will help you build up your confidence and get more comfortable with being visible, so you can start doing the damn thing and showing up for your audience, both online and offline. Bonus: you may actually start having fun with your marketing (seriously!).
