This is for you if

You have never recorded a video of yourself for work. Perhaps you hate how you look or sound on camera, or you do not know what you would even say. Meanwhile, you have posted hundreds of listing photos and watched them get eleven likes. If two of those are true, then keep reading.

The first reel course, day by day

Each day is one short lesson and one reel. You never film more than one take, and you never edit. As a result, the whole week costs you about two hours.

Day 1: propping the phone on a mug and pressing record

Day 1: Press record

Prop the phone on a mug, say your name and your market, stop. Fifteen seconds. Post it.

Day 2: talking to the phone in a parked car outside a listing

Day 2: The parked-car answer

Answer the question a client asked you this week, from the driver’s seat, before you go in.

Day 3: filming the entryway while walking through the front door

Day 3: Walk through the door

Phone held out, walk from the porch into the entryway, say one thing the photos do not show.

Day 4: pointing at a kitchen countertop while filming

Day 4: Point at something

Stand in a kitchen and point at one detail. Pointing gives your hands a job and your voice a subject.

Day 5: answering a question to camera on the porch steps

Day 5: The porch steps

Sit down outside and answer a question about your town. Relaxed, seated, no listing in sight.

Day 6: filming the walk from driveway to front door

Day 6: Driveway to door

A silent walk from the curb to the front door with one caption. Your first reel with no talking.

Day 7: reviewing a grid of seven vertical videos on the phone

Day 7: Look at the grid

Seven reels on your profile. Record one more saying which was hardest. That is your eighth, and the habit is yours.

What you walk away with

Seven posted reels on your Instagram. The three-shot list that works for any listing. A bank of forty opening lines for real estate agents, sorted by the questions clients actually ask. A one-reel-a-week posting calendar for the next twelve months. And the thing no download can give you: you have done it, so you can do it again.

Who is teaching this

First Reel Academy is run by the team behind a WordPress and marketing studio that has built websites and campaigns for real estate agents since 2016. We watched agent after agent buy a ring light, record nothing, and go back to posting photos. The course is what we say to those agents in person, turned into seven days you can do alone.

Instructor portrait

Is the first reel course for me?

Yes, if

  • You have never posted a video of yourself.
  • You have a phone made in the last five years.
  • You can find twenty minutes a day for a week.
  • You are willing to post something imperfect.

No, if

  • You already post reels every week.
  • You want editing, transitions, or effects.
  • You want someone else to record for you.

Questions about the first reel course

I have an old phone. Does it matter?

No. Any phone that records video is enough. Reels are watched on phones, so a phone camera is the right camera.

I hate my voice on video.

Everyone does. Nobody else notices, and by the third reel you stop hearing it. Day 6 is silent, in case you need a break.

How much time per day?

Under twenty minutes, including the lesson. The reel itself is fifteen seconds and one take.

Do I need to edit?

No. Nothing in the course is edited. Trimming the start and end inside Instagram is the most you will ever do, and Instagram’s own reels guide covers that in a minute.

What if I miss a day?

Pick up the next day. The seven lessons stay open for as long as you subscribe, so a missed day costs nothing.

Is there a refund?

Yes. If you post nothing in the first 30 days, write to us and the payment comes back. No form, no call. The full refund policy is one screen long.

Monthly or yearly, which should I pick?

Monthly if you only want the seven days. Yearly if you want the posting calendar and the new lessons we add for the following twelve months.

The 30-day guarantee

If you finish the first 30 days and have not posted a single reel, you get your money back. That is the whole condition. We would rather refund you than have you pay for a course you did not use.
