this week has something for everyone - keep scrolling…
We did the research so you don't have to. Because let's be honest... reels rabbit holes are no joke and you've got shit to do ;)AUDIO : “I DON’T SUCK” 🎶
This one is brand new, but there are quite a few videos using this sound that have popped off so we see this one getting big! Hop on asap! If you’re feeling like a lip sync or showing yourself in action, try this one out. Use this audio to hype up your niche (especially awesome if your audience is made up of others in your industry) or to show the realness behind your level up from noob to master (Do we ever actually master anything though? Honestly, sounds boring 😝)Length: 8 secondsHow to use it: Lip sync along with text overlays to direct the relevance to your niche, or show yourself doing the new-to-you thing you are working on becoming better atRequirements: This is one you might want to save for your next good hair day, because it is often used with the creator in the shot. But we love a relatable blooper, so if you have any videos of you learning something new, or making a mistake in your process, there is definitely an audience for that!

Throw some text overlays in there for tips, and consider it a job totally killed.
AUDIO : THE OL’ TAP + SNAP
