Who has the time to create content every day? And yet, everyone's obsessing over needing "authentic video content." But what does 鈥渁uthentic鈥� even mean?

Plus, there鈥檚 a trap at every turn鈥�
"Can't AI handle this for me? What if I create an AI avatar to autopilot my video content?"

鉂� Spoiler alert: Cringe. Creepy. Don't do it. But you already knew that.

You鈥檝e seen your LinkedIn feed... Bland. Boring. Basically identical posts. When everyone asks ChatGPT to take over, everyone sounds the same. And guess what? The LinkedIn algorithm notices, and your audience? They're scrolling past your content.
There is a better way, my friends. Imagine:
鉁� Creating MONTHS of standout video content in under 2 hours
鉁� Showcasing your expertise without awkward filming
鉁� Build thought leadership without becoming an "influencer"

You've got plenty to share, but it's all the hassle that gets in the way. When chatting with a friend about your passions, ideas flow naturally, right?

馃帴 Join Hunter Lee Canning, Chief Creative Officer at Plumwheel Studios, as he guides you through quick wins to launch your video strategy and prevent AI from stealing your voice.
