Create First, Overthink Later by Valentina Li

A workshop review by Shelly England

This was Valentina’s first workshop for PPGH and it did not disappoint. We all left wanting another day with her at least!

Valentina started off by giving us each personalized reports on our Business Instagram profiles done with a new platform, Manus AI. This was helpful in analyzing where we all need to make improvements to our social media and what we post. She tasked us each with narrowing our focus of what we will post about, how we want to be labeled as and how we want our personality to appear.

Next, we all had to create a story reel related to our business. We wrote scripts and Valentina videoed us. Then we learned how to edit it and post it on our social media using several different applications.

Then Valentina went over her work process for finding, shooting and posting social media. She told us how it is important to post all different kinds of videos, not just the same kind. Then we went outside and created some reels with the group participating in each clip. I can’t wait to see how funny the final clip turns out to be. Before we left, Valentina made us all commit to what we will be posting in the next week and I’m sure she will follow up!

If you get a chance, I highly recommend taking a class from Valentina. You will definitely learn a lot about creating and posting on social media.
