💡 Steal This Strategy: Talking Head Content

If you're not regularly filming straight-to-camera "talking head" videos, this is your sign to start.

Multiple brands have told us directly: if a creator doesn’t have recent content of them speaking naturally to the camera, they automatically pass on the partnership. No matter how beautiful the aesthetic is, brands want to know you’re comfortable on camera, that your audience recognizes and connects with your face, and that you can deliver a message in a relatable, authentic way.

Why it matters:

Brands are prioritizing trust and relatability. Talking head videos create a stronger personal connection.
They want to see YOU, not just your editing skills or vibe. Your voice and delivery are part of your value as a creator.
It builds authority. If you can clearly explain a product or tell a personal story, you’re way more likely to land campaigns that involve UGC or scripted brand messaging.

Quick tip: Start getting comfortable by filming short clips where you talk about your favorite product, answer a FAQ, or share a quick story. Keep it natural. Talk like you're FaceTiming a friend.

Bottom line: If you want to book more paid work—especially in wellness, beauty, or lifestyle—you need a strong library of face-to-camera content. Brands are watching (and skipping) based on it.
