HOW TO GET OVER CAMERA SHYNESS AS A NAIL STYLIST?

- looking into the camera

3. POST

It won't be perfect :)

But you just need to start.

 Start with only a sentence or two.

 For example:

- Ask followers if they have a question for you.

- Tell them what you are doing today.

- Share a short tip.

4. PLAN

Create a script, but you don't read it!

Be spontaneous.

This will help you stay on track.

Don't worry if you don't tell everything by a script.

5. DON'T OVER ANALYZED IT

Create max. of 5 takes!

Choose the best one and post it!

 It won't be perfect, but you will do the first step and with every step you will be better.

Perfection doesn't exist.
