Step 5: Make a Lot of Videos
(to Build a Lot of Trust)
Trust isn’t built by one big video. It’s built by showing up consistently and letting people experience who you are over time.
Why One Video Isn’t Enough
One video can get attention. Many videos build belief.
A single video, no matter how polished, can’t hold the whole story of who you are. Your clients don’t trust you because of one perfectly edited moment—they trust you because they see a pattern of consistency.
This is the heart of what the book calls The Familiar Face Advantage.
You’re not trying to go viral. You’re not chasing fame.
You’re building familiarity. And familiarity is what makes people choose you.
Every video you release becomes another signal:
“This is who I am. This is what I believe. This is how I help.”
That’s how Trust Signals accumulate. That’s how strangers become followers—and followers become clients.
Keep It Small. Keep It Human.
You don’t need to make “epic content.” You need to create a series of small, meaningful moments that add up to something powerful.
Think of each video as a short chapter in the ongoing story of your work:
- One insight you’ve learned
- One truth you’ve observed
- One client moment that meant something
These are your Mic Drop Moments—the conversations you’re already having, just captured and shared.
Over time, these micro-stories weave together to show your values in motion. They address different parts of your audience’s Chain of Beliefs. They build the kind of trust that makes sales calls feel like introductions instead of pitches.
That’s how you become a familiar face to the right people.
Why Simple Stories Stick
Simple stories are easier to remember—and easier to trust.
When you strip away the jargon and just show a single idea, emotion, or transformation, people can actually feel it.
And here’s the bonus: shorter, simpler videos are easier to make—and to maintain.
A trust-first brand doesn’t chase virality. It builds reliability.
Remember from Chapter 8: Lighting Your Beacon. You need one primary place where your work lives. One place people can go to experience you consistently.
These videos? They’re how you keep that beacon lit.
Not with massive production. Just with presence.
Show Your Work—Generously
Author Austin Kleon calls it showing your work—sharing a small piece of your process each day.
It’s not self-promotion. It’s service.
Every behind-the-scenes clip, every “here’s what I’m learning” moment is a gift to your audience.
Generosity is the ultimate Trust Signal.
When you share the journey, not just the outcome, people start believing they could trust you to guide theirs.
This is what Chapter 4 talks about: Trust Signals that help people feel safe before they ever reach out.
You’re not convincing them. You’re letting them experience you until trust forms naturally.
Case Study: The Artful Planner
One of my clients wanted to showcase her planner for creative moms.
Instead of describing features, we filmed a quiet day-in-the-life from her point of view—just her hands using the planner, sunlight on the page, a moment of reflection.
No dialogue. No pitch. Just presence.
The viewer doesn’t watch her—they become her.
That’s the secret of trust-building video: it lets your audience see themselves in your story.
You could use the same technique for almost any profession—architects, designers, coaches, consultants, builders—anyone who wants to make the invisible process visible.
How This Builds Familiarity (Not Just Visibility)
Here’s what happens when you show up consistently with these small, authentic videos:
Week 1: Someone sees your video. Thinks, “That’s interesting.”
Week 3: They see another. Thinks, “Oh, I remember this person.”
Week 6: Another video. Thinks, “I like how they think.”
Week 10: Another. Thinks, “I feel like I know them.”
Week 15: They reach out. And when they do, they say, “I’ve been watching your videos. I already know I want to work with you.”
That’s not luck. That’s the compound effect of familiarity.
That’s what Chapter 9 talks about: The Standout Expert.
When Trust Signals, the Chain of Beliefs, and Mic Drop Moments work together, people discover you, experience you, begin to trust you, and reach out already aligned.
Sales calls stop feeling like convincing. They feel like introductions.
Your Mic Drop Truth
The goal isn’t to be everywhere. The goal is to be remembered for who you are everywhere you show up.
Familiar beats famous. Every time.
Your Challenge for This Week
Create a mini-series of three short Mic Drop Moments (30–60 seconds each).
Each one should:
1. Capture a small, real moment from your day or your client work.
2. Show, don’t tell. No heavy narration. Let the visuals do the work.
3. Focus on one feeling per video—curiosity, gratitude, discovery, clarity, conviction.
4. Address different parts of your Chain of Beliefs:
- Video 1: Help them believe in themselves (Belief #1)
- Video 2: Help them see their situation clearly (Belief #2)
- Video 3: Show them what’s possible (Belief #3)
5. Post them over three consecutive days.
Watch how repetition changes the way people respond—not because you made more content, but because you built more familiarity.
People will start recognizing your face, your voice, your way of seeing things.
That’s when trust becomes inevitable.
This Is How You Become a Familiar Face
Most experts create one amazing video and wonder why it doesn’t change everything.
But trust isn’t built through one perfect moment. It’s built through consistent presence.
One video = “That’s interesting.”
Ten videos = “I like this person.”
Fifty videos = “I feel like I know them.”
And when someone feels like they know you, they’re already halfway to hiring you.
That’s the Familiar Face Advantage.
Not louder. Not more polished. Just more present.
