🎬 7 DAY VIDEO CHALLENGE: DAY 5 - Record Your First Video!

Apr 2 (edited) • 🎁 Give

You've made it to the BIG day! You've crafted your intro, found your perfect filming spot, generated video ideas, and created your script. (Find all that stuff here.)

Now it's time to bring it all together and RECORD your first video! (Don't forget to smile!)

📱 TODAY'S FOCUS: Recording Your Video Using Just Your Phone

Today I'm sharing the easiest way to record your video using a free teleprompter app that will make the process smooth and stress-free. No fancy equipment needed - just your phone and a few minutes of your time!

💡 THE TELEPROMPTER METHOD:

Download the free "Teleprompter" app on your phone (available for iPhone and Android)
Sign in using your Apple, Google, or preferred account
Create a new script by tapping "New" then "Compose New Script"
Name your script and paste in the content you created yesterday
Adjust the scroll speed using the slider (experiment to find what works for you!)
Position your phone at eye level near your window for best lighting
Hit "Start" then "Record" to begin filming your video

🎯 RECORDING TIPS:

#1 most important: DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!!

Use your phone's built-in microphone (usually better than Bluetooth headsets)
Hold your phone at eye level or prop it up for the best angle
Stand by your window for that natural lighting you identified on Day 2
Don't worry about small stutters or mistakes - authenticity beats perfection!

✅ YOUR DAY 5 HOMEWORK:

Download the Teleprompter app
Upload your script from Day 4
Record your video (it doesn't have to be perfect but don't forget to smile!)
Optional: Upload to YouTube as unlisted and share the link in the comments if you'd like feedback before posting publicly

Today might feel challenging, but it's also the most rewarding step! Once you get comfortable with this process, you'll be creating videos in just minutes.

Tomorrow we'll focus on writing the text that accompanies your video on social media, which will be much quicker and easier than today's task.

Remember: This isn't about creating the world's greatest video. It's about taking action, being seen, sharing your authentic message, and clearly communicating who you can help.

I can't wait to see what you create! Drop any questions in the comments, and let us know how the recording process went for you. We're here to support you every step of the way!
