FROM THE DESK OF JEFF DOLAN

Proof of Authenticity

What's the first thing we do when we "meet" someone new online?

We do a "vibe check."

What does that mean?

It means we check for whether the person is full of @#$%^&* or not.

Are they authentic? Are they AI? Are they faking everything? Do they know what they are talking about? Can they help me? Are they a threat?

It's getting so hard that each of us has his own way of checking this.

Maybe it's how they answer hard questions. Maybe it's what they avoid talking about. Maybe it's their personal lives they live off camera.

Maybe it's the social follower engagement. Maybe it's whether they have a plaque or a lambo in the background.

This one proof is establishing the most critical checkpoint in building an audience online.

Do I like this person? Do I want to get to know this person? Can I trust this person?

If you fail the vibe check, good luck. You are fighting an uphill battle from day one.

And all because your co-workers' friend Eddie who saw his 15-minutes of fame and is now an expert advised you to do something not you.

If you cannot be you from the first impression, how long do you think you can show up online like that?

Not long.

If you are planning to join the online community in any meaningful way, you want to play the long game.

And that means, genuinely being yourself and becoming who you want to genuinely be.

WAVVE DESIGN OF THE WEEK

👏 It's a classic format that just works: Use a full-bleed photo of a face, waveform, and logo. Use the description for all the rest. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! (Sept 15 - Oct 15)

It's proven that we are instantly drawn to faces. So why not put your best face forward with an actual great photo of yourself? If you find yourself struggling to go on camera with video, and it's preventing you from shipping content, Wavve is exactly made for you. Make audiograms with us. Easy. No fake AI anything. Be where you are in the content game. And add in social face-on-camera video when you are ready.
