Life is full of obstacles, from learning to ride a bike as a child to navigating challenges as an adult.
Filming social media content is no different—whether you’re a pro or just getting started, you’ll face hurdles like technical issues, creative blocks, and production delays.
But just like any other challenge, these can be overcome with the right approach. Below are five common obstacles in creating social media content. Let’s tackle some practical solutions to help you produce engaging, high-quality videos that connect with your audience!
We find that this is one of the most common obstacles people face when creating social media content. First, identify your key message. What do you want your audience to know or feel? Create a simple outline or script to organize your thoughts. It doesn’t have to be perfect—being authentic often resonates better with your audience than a scripted, polished video.
2. I Don’t Want to Be on Camera
Many people feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, but remember, you don’t always have to appear on screen. You can use voice overs and text, or focus on visuals like product demonstrations, tutorials, or even animations. If you do need to be on camera, practice speaking naturally about your content to a friend or family member until you feel more confident.
3. I Don’t Know How to Film
Filming doesn’t require expensive equipment. Your smartphone is often more than enough. Learn basic principles like framing, lighting, and sound. There are countless tutorials available online that can help you understand the essentials and improve the quality of your videos with just a few adjustments.
4. I Don’t Know How to Edit
Editing can seem daunting, but many user-friendly apps like iMovie or Adobe Premiere Rush make it easy for beginners. Start small by cutting unnecessary footage, adding captions, and adjusting audio. As you grow more comfortable, you can explore more advanced features.
5. I Don’t Know How to Post
Every platform is different, but most make posting simple. Begin by selecting the platform that best fits your content, and follow their step-by-step instructions. With practice, posting will become second nature.
