✅ Create Reels this week that are focused on the topic of Week 1: SOUND. Create Reels with trending audio, non-trending audio, original audio, voiceover, sound effects, and play around with mixing your sound levels.
✅ Each Reel you create for this 30 Day Challenge MUST be aligned to your creative freelance business in order to be considered for Growth Points
💥 This week’s curveball: Make all of your Reels this week only about your business. You’ll be doing this anyway for the duration of the Challenge. So this week’s curveball is getting you in the habit of that and setting the benchmark for where you are now at the beginning of the Challenge.

• I’m NOT looking for the typical spammy Reels like “If you ever need a (your job title) then book me now!”.

• I’m looking for Reels that show the different aspects of your creative business.

• Refer to the long list of Reels ideas for inspiration.

• The Reels styles that will be considered for Growth points will be Trending audio, Non-trending audio, and Voiceover. If you want to add in a sound effect or two then go for it, but it’s not a must.

• Hint: Less is more. Especially at the beginning of this Challenge energy is high. And that high energy can come out in your Reels. Remember, the camera picks up everything. So if you’re high energy is present you may come off a bit hyperactive. So breathe, channel that energy, don’t feel like you have to perform, but rather allow yourself to be observed.

• Deadline: create 1 Reel / day about your business using the Trending audio, Non-trending audio, and Voiceover Reels Styles (and add in a sound effect or two if you want on any of those Reels). Reels that follow the curveball directions that are posted between Day 1 of this Challenge (this Monday) until Day 7 of this Challenge (this Sunday at 11:59pm your time) will be considered for Growth points.

• Critique of the Week 1 curveballs and Growth point scoring will be announced during the Week 2 Q&A Session.

OUR COMMUNITY GROUP

✅ The INSANE Instagram Reels 30 Day Challenge has a community group on Slack. Slack is a free program that you can use on your desktop and mobile devices.

• Click the button below to create your profile for the Challenge’s community group.

• You will be sent a confirmation code via email. Please check your spam folder for it.

• Enter that confirmation code and you will be added to our community group and be able to interact with everyone in the Challenge.

• Sometimes… Slack glitches and you aren’t sent the confirmation code even after checking your spam folder.

• If that is the case then please CLICK HERE. An email that is already filled out will pop up on your screen. Please make sure your email address you send that email from is the email address you signed up for the Challenge with and then hit send. My team and I will invite you to the community group as quickly as we can. Please allow 1-2 days for this to happen as there are a lot of moving pieces in the background to get this Challenge up and running to the best of its ability.

• A few days after the Challenge is over the community group will be taken down.

• No you do not need to join the community group if you do not want to. No you will not get any less points because you didn’t join the community group. It is there to ask questions, get answers, and feel a part of a group moving their Reels forward so you don’t feel alone in this Challenge.

• If you are in another community group of mine for other courses and / or challenges then YES this is ANOTHER community group that you can join. Why? So only the people doing this Challenge will have a safe space to ask questions, get answers, and learn together. And all of my other community groups won’t get annoyed at us 😂
