3. Overcoming Camera Shyness: My Live Selling Confidence Tips
Manage episode 518086391 series 3697328
Hey, it's Cindy! Welcome back to Moms & Crumbs, where I help you build real income from home and learn how to resell on Whatnot.
In this episode, I'm opening up about one of the biggest fears I had to overcome when I started selling live — being on camera. From crying through my first Facebook Live to freezing during my first Whatnot show, I'm sharing it all — the nerves, the lessons, and the exact steps that helped me find confidence and finally show up as me.
When I first started, even seeing myself on camera made me want to quit. I was still deep in postpartum depression, struggling with debt, and battling all the "what-ifs." What if no one watched? What if my English wasn't good enough? What if I looked silly? But I remembered something my mentor once told me — you are the brand.
So I took on a 30-day live challenge — going live every single day, even when I cried, stumbled, or froze. That challenge changed my life. It taught me that confidence doesn't come before you start — it comes because you start.
If you've ever felt scared to hit "Go Live," this episode is for you. I'll walk you through how to push past the fear, find your "why," and keep showing up even when no one's watching.
🎧 Hit play to hear how I turned fear into fuel — and how you can, too.
💡 Key Takeaways- Confidence comes from consistency — not perfection.
- Your "why" is your anchor; write it down and read it daily.
- Treat one viewer like a hundred — every person matters.
- Block distractions (yes, even cover that viewer count if you need to).
- You don't need to be perfect — you just need to show up.
