If you want to stop the "Get Ready with Me" reels and start telling better stories that will engage your viewers, then this video is for you! In this video, I'll show you how to create engaging and entertaining short-form video content that will help you stand out from the competition.

Thanks for watchingggg!! Comment “interested” if you want another video on storytelling. Also, we will fix the volume on the next upload 🫶🏽

[@yashawells]

I was today years old when I found out what GRWM stands for. 😅😂😂😂😂

[@gograybechic]

😂😂😂😂😂me tooo😢😂

[@ErinOnDemand]

Hahaha omg I’m cracking up! It’s okay, no judgement. 😂

[@bri-style]

Erinnnnn, I remember watching your KZbin videos a couple years ago and to see your growth is crazzzzzy inspiring and motivating. Don’t get me wrong your content was always informative and full of substance but it’s just like a whole new level you unlocked in your own lane 🥲🫶🏾

[@kyleshalindemere]

My husband and I go for a drive every Friday night and dream build ( look at big homes) 2 years ago we built our dream home, manifesting works. I recently started a KZbin channel, this is someone I’ve wanted to do for 10 years and I’m so happy I did. ❤

[@_motheringinstyle]

I definitely needed this because I’m bored of doing GRWMs unless they are chatty ones but have been too overly cautious to branch away from them because they still seem popular. Now I’m def brainstorming some new ideas to incorporate more story telling in my content!

[@ErinOnDemand]

I'm so happy that this was helpful for you! Thank you for watching! xx

[@SADEKELLY_]

Lol thought I was the only tired of watching people get dressed on social media 🤣 This was helpful. Especially the storytelling piece & not always adding music to our reels

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thank you so much for watching Sade! I'm glad it was helpful! xx

[@Samanthologyy]

Ugghh such great information! These fundamentals are SO key and easily gets glossed over. Thanks for breaking it down in a digestible manner.

[@theunitedstatesofariel]

I 100% agree! I'm a new creator but I am so tired of that type of content.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Haha! We all are!

[@natashaz12]

This has been my struggle with YT. I don’t like posting low substance content but then I’m stuck not posting for two months 😫🤦🏾‍♀️ it’s like how do you be consistent and not corny HELPP 🤣🤣

[@JujusOracleMsgs]

You are so valuable. Thank you for everything! I ramble on and on about how I want my content to be meaningful, and you really help me put things into perspective, and motion. Simply by giving examples and making sense of things. You look gorgeous too btw as always!

[@leevelvet2400]

I like when people build outfits! But I mainly consume fashion content and I wanted to start making these in a fun way. I’m conflicted about this lmao

[@bjoneswhite306]

Great idea. And I feel GRWM is best when your on vacation or going to a special event not a every day thing

[@sharaynemft]

I’m proud of myself 1) for knowing what “VO” meant automatically 😂 and 2) already implementing some of these tips without knowing! Thank you always, Erin!

[@TiarreaB.Naturally]

This is the stuff I been googling all week and here you are. Story telling. ❤Thank you my good Sister!

[@ErinOnDemand]

I'm glad this video was helpful for you Tiarrea! Thank you for watching! xx

[@KeeYoung_]

Watching now! I never really thought about this with GRWM’s. I never did content like that but I wanted to do GRWM content. Glad I seen this video! 👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks Erin❤

[@rmercedes971]

Your hair & makeup is giving high 90’s super model vibe 😍😍😍

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thank you so much! xx

[@iamchanel_b]

This video is an answered prayer! I do GRWMs and I am sick of IT!!! LOL

[@ErinOnDemand]

Omg!! Yes they are just so popular and are boring (in my opinion) if there isn’t interesting VO. Break free sis! It’s nothing wrong with continuing them, just add your own spin. That’s my biggest point. Xx

[@KenyattaDavisPhotography]

Lol when you said set the scene and describe it my mind jumped straight to John Wick. One of those movies started off with him running through the city with that dog. It jumped straight in and I was like wth.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Lol. Right. Setting the scene is so important and helps you visually tell a story.

[@deemarielove10]

Thank you Erin! tThis was so good and I LOVE story telling! It seems like some brands dont like it when I am pitching to brands. But its so engaging

[@EmilyElizabethMay]

I enjoy GRWMs but definitely great tips to incorporate more storytelling in them :) Thanks for this!

[@kamrynamon]

This was a sign, I was trying to think of some other ideas to incorporate on my IG other than GWRMs. This is so helpful. Storytelling is such an important aspect to build connection with your audience! Love your content Erin! :)

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed this video! xx

[@Lamarythressa]

[@user-gs2lm4xb7j]

Someone on this thread said it also. I, too, thought it meant something about Grown Women or Grown Woman something or the other. Especially since I never saw a man with the caption. I'm not saying they don't do them, I have never seen it.

Thank you, Erin! I felt stuck doing the GRWM videos because they are my most viewed videos. Thank you! 💛

[@ErinOnDemand]

You can still do them - but try to add something to it! Make the voiceover more interesting/compelling! They will probably always work, but they are so popular that you have to add your own spin on them to stand out.

[@alyciaraee]

@@ErinOnDemand Got it! Thank you!

[@britneyy3867]

I'm so glad you said it about the getting dressed videos. It's boring. I think that people should get more creative and create content they like vs what's easy and already done. The things that go viral and are trendy are the creators that try to new things.
