Don’t overthink your Reels
Put thought into your Reels, but not too much thought. Let me clarify.
Reels are supposed to…
Be enjoyable
Help you promote your business and products in a more personal way
Help you show the real you and relate to your audience
If you're overthinking and over-analyzing every Reel you're putting out there, you're probably getting more stress than enjoyment out of the feature. Beyond that, if your Reels come off too scripted or make you seem "too perfect," your audience might not be able to relate to you as well.
Sometimes, it's best to put your emotions aside and do what's right for your business. For example, posting a Reel even if you feel like you didn't get it "exactly right" or because you stumbled over your words. I've been there! I've learned that people want to see the real you, not always a polished version.
Definitely think about your Reels and plan them out, but don't overthink. Remember, this is supposed to be fun… so have fun!
