GuestOctober 8, 2025 at 7:35 amAs a fellow introvert who went through this exact journey, I totally understand the struggle! Here’s what worked for me:
**Building Confidence Gradually:**
– Start with mirror selfies where you’re not looking at the camera
– Focus on outfit details – shoes, accessories, textures
– Practice posing alone at home until it feels natural
– Remember: even the most confident creators felt awkward at first!
**Content That Works Early On:**
– Reels > Static posts (algorithm loves them more)
– “Get Ready With Me” style videos with trending audio
– Outfit transitions are engaging and don’t require speaking
– Save carousels showing different ways to style one piece
**For Aesthetic Feed:**
– Pick 2-3 signature colors and stick with them
– Use the same filter/editing style consistently
– Plan your grid with preview apps
**Pro Tip:** The hardest part is getting initial traction. When I was starting, I used services like Crescitaly to build some initial momentum – it helped my content reach more people while I was still finding my voice and style.
Most importantly: post consistently, even if you’re not 100% confident. The algorithm rewards consistency over perfection, and your confidence will grow with each post! 💪
