The course is entirely self-paced, so you can move through it as quickly or as slowly as you need. Each module builds on the last, and it is designed to fit into your schedule. While some complete it in a few weeks, others may choose to take more time to really take in the information.
What if I don’t have a high-quality camera or professional equipment?
All you need to start this course is your phone. While I provide tips for enhancing content quality, I also show you how to maximise whatever equipment you have. Many successful creators begin with the basics, and this course is designed to help you make an impact without requiring fancy gear.
Will this course teach me how to make money from my personal brand?
While the primary focus is on building an authentic brand, I cover foundational strategies to help you monetise your content. A strong, trustworthy brand opens doors to income streams and collaborations. I lay the groundwork so you’re ready to leverage these opportunities as your brand grows.
