You missed out!
Hey, coaches, authors, service biz pros, content creators, want to know what can build those critical Know-Like-Trust factors that lead to clients and sales … even faster?
Videos.
I'm talking about those short, social-friendly, shareable, visibility-boosting videos you see everywhere these days.
Videos are the Mountain Dew, Jolt or double espresso that juices the algorithms to get you found and seen today.
Though I’m a long time video fan from behind the lens and the old school days, it took me a while to get sucked into the viral, vertical video loop. You know, scrolling past your bedtime, watching catchy videos on every topic under the sun!
Silly songs, dances, lip sync and pointing to text; people painting, resin or acrylic paint pour art, candy making, gymnastics, silly pets … oh .... that’s just MY feed? 😄
We’ve all been distracted and entertained … but ALSO educated. THERE are business purposes for these fun videos. AND we don't have to chase every trendy thing to make use of these videos.
Apps like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and yes TikTok, are all in on the short, vertical videos. They are literally pushing them to people who are NOT already your followers.
Woah, the return of organic traffic on social media?! YES!
I may like watching OTHER people sing, dance and point but I’m not doing those things. 🤪😂
Good news, we don't have to act like a teenager chasing every trend!
There’s room in the viral vertical video craze for those who are camera shy, wonder what to say, fumble with what buttons to push (yeah I was there too a few months ago). Figure out HOW to create one of these videos without it taking all day.
By the end of the week you’ll have created and posted 5 fun videos and be ready to rack up more points, likes, comments, saves and shares as you build visibility with your audience.
Why vertical videos are hot and helpful - for your people + your biz. Do the first easy step so we can create other videos - perfect for the camera shy.

Your Video Camp Director
I'm Jennifer Burke and I love learning, checking out new things, and "research" is practically my middle name! I'm a proud marketing geek. I dig into the techie bits that many biz owners hate. I believe in busting myths around marketing, calling out B.S. if I see it, and sharing what's exciting and amazing too. I love teaching small biz owners to find their own marketing mojo and confidently promote their businesses.
I also have a long connection to video - personally and professionally. From my early amateur photography, black + white film developing, to my days working with video editing in ad agencies. I also have a Radio/TV/Film minor from my undergrad days and years of chasing video software as a Bright Shiny Object weakness! So, so many video purchases. Learn from my - ahem - mistakes!
Dang it, creating videos is fun! I want to mess around with video with you. I want to teach you fun stuff! Let's do this together!
Note:
The 5-day camp focuses on using the Instagram app and Canva for creating Reels - BUT most the of the tips, techniques, video styles will work for YouTube Shorts and TikTok. I'm not an expert on the nuances of YouTube or TikTok.
No promises that your videos will go viral! 😄 Some campers have seen great, increased reach with their videos. But you won't have video-phobia anymore either. Also no promise of specific business leads or sales from making and sharing videos.
I'm your techie pal who has gotten comfortable enough with vertical, short social video in the last two years to make Reels a regular part of my content plans. And I want to help YOU get comfy too. And have fun dang it!
