As a BLI$$ness Coach, my mission is to help spiritual women step into their divine abundance so that we can each become a living breathing goddess of abundance and to rebuild the goddess temple. As a spiritual woman, I struggled with poverty consciousness all through my twenties and made a 4-figure salary most of the time. It got so much better when I had a goddess of abundance breakthrough in my early thirties, and I’ve never looked back! I now get to run my BLI$$ness between Europe, Asia, and the US and have coached women from over 30 countries worldwide, helping clients attract their divine abundance as coaches, healers, channels, intuitives, and holistic therapists.
Unless you love clipping coupons or worrying about where next week’s rent is coming from, poverty is not a high vibration for most people living in the modern world. The Universe is infinitely abundant, so if you’re not tapping in yet, there’s much exciting divine wealth to be discovered!
Here are three tips to quickly build your financial abundance:
1) Watch, read, breathe wealth consciousness.
I highly suggest listening to abundance consciousness videos daily, like the ones made by Esther and Jerry Hicks, whom I love.
Esther and Jerry Hicks, New York Times bestselling authors, channel higher dimensional energies and have a huge cult following of Ascension pioneers (people who are waking up). They speak to the connection with money and physical health, as well as the fact that we create our reality.
I suggest reading their books on the law of attraction, such as Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness.
Or you can do a Google or YouTube search for abundance 
inspiration. Let your divine guidance take you to where your eyes need to wander. I love surfing YouTube with words that pop into my mind like “goddess of abundance” or “law of of attraction money” and watching the first few seconds of a few videos until something starts to speak to me.
I also like using money affirmations, and you can read my blog about this here.
2) Spend time with people who have good wealth consciousness.
Did you know that you are the average income earner of the five people you hang out with the most? This is true for not only money, but just about anything! Like average weight, self-esteem, political beliefs, or education level. We average out the energy frequency of the energy frequency that surrounds us! If you’re constantly spending time with people who have little or no money, or a low abundance-consciousness, it’ll hold you back BIG time. I know saying ciao for now to your poor peeps can be tricky and sad, but it’s vital to set your high money frequency in place so that you can receive your divine abundance!
I hang out with one of my favorite people regularly, and the fact that she sometimes makes $100,000 in one day and is a conscious millionairess perks up my abundance consciousness every time we meet! She’s also a darling heart-based woman, an inspiration, and she’s given me some of the best abundance and business tips ever. I met her at a high-end business coaching program, so it definitely helps to pay to enter exclusive circles! She also happens to be part of my soul family, which was a nice surprise.
3) Seriously simple tip: set financial goals for yourself.
What is your juicy BLI$$ number!?
People often tell me that they want to know how to make a lot of money or “have a high abundance consciousness,” but that’s too vague for the Universe to grasp. Having real number value on your abundance/income helps align a vibration with a matter-based reality. What would you like to attract this month? In the next six months? Within the upcoming year, five years, ten years, etc? I notice that people tend to get unrealistic here. If you’ve been making $1,000/month for the past ten years and want to make $5,000 in 6 months, that might be a shock to your system. Try easing into 3 then $4,000 instead. The slow-and-steady approach tends to work for most people – though it’s not impossible that you’re different. But try not to get caught in setting number goals that are too big and stretched so that you snap in half under pressure!
To your big BLI$$ and abundance blessings!

Almost two years ago, I suffered from a neck injury that forced me to suddenly quit my safe job and end my 5-year journey as a licensed esthetician. I was so comfy washing faces, prescribing skin cream, and doing advanced peels for a comfortable income in a dark hidden room. I was good at this work, yet it wasn’t my true passion, nor did it challenge me. I had a liberal arts degree from an Ivy League caliber school, a life coaching certification, and a PhD in transpersonal counseling, yet I had no idea how I’d use these and make money as an alternative healer. So I was stuck working at a posh spa in Marin, California even though I hated it, because the money was good, I got health insurance, and I was “safe” in my little hell.
Then, one day at work, a sharp pain shot through my left shoulder for no apparent reason; by the end of the day, I could hardly move. I had to call in sick for the next month, as I couldn’t stand for more than a minute at a time without the pain becoming severe. At that point I’d just become a part-time employee (so I could build my own business), so I didn’t qualify for disability or unemployment. So I was out of commission, and I wasn’t going to be earning anymore commission any time soon! Basically, I was up sh*t creek.
I think my deep dissatisfaction with my work is what made my body fall apart; my job was literally a pain in the neck.
Yet deep down, I knew it was a sign that it was time to quit my “safe job,” so I listened to my body and quit. My boss pretended to feel sorry for me, but I could tell that he was mainly bummed that I was no longer a financial asset to him. It saddened me that I was a disposable commodity, but it confirmed my decision to take off.
I was trapped in my safe spa job and felt hopeless
I was both excited to be done with esthetician work forever. Yet I was forced to move forward in my career next steps, and it freaked me out… How do I make money as a coach!? How will I live off my own salary? Ouchh, my neck really hurt. I tried not to panic, and tuned into my best vice when I get stuck: prayer.
I meditated and prayed daily. Lying on my back on my couch, there was not much else to do but pray, clarify my business goals, and to start my online marketing launch.
Belly up from that big cozy white couch, I launched my first successful coaching business, Aphrodite’s Apprentice, helping spiritual women attract their Twin Flame. It was a dream I’d had for several years, but finally, I went for it. For I had no other choice!
Me in my office with a view in Crete, Greece
Getting a neck injury was the best thing I could have done for myself; it forced me to jump through the fire that I’d been afraid of and avoiding for years. Through the birth pains, and I created a thriving boutique coaching business; I saw clients from over 30 countries in the world via Skype or phone, and enjoyed it more than ever!
The neck pain subsided immediately after I realized that I was never going to have to go back to the spa again – a job that I’d been feeling stuck at for several years. Knowing that I was forever going to be self-employed, set my own hours, and never have to listen to another boss telling me what to do uplifted me and inspired my healing. When I sent an email to my ex-boss again thanking him and sharing with him my new business success – to no surprise – I never heard back from him.
I don’t recommend blindingly jumping. Always make a solid plan to transition from your day job. I actually had one for, but was scared to implement it. So I had gone back to my spa job part-time and procrastinated on launching my biz for about 6 more months. I had made enough money in my spa job to ease into my BLI$$ness over a two year period living really cheaply. The injury was the last push.
Thanks to my neck, my own courage, and to many divine blessing, it took way less than 6-months to succeed in my BLI$$ness. Within the first month, I’d already made $3,000 to my great surprise.
I am grateful I had that cushion of ca$h so I could attract clients in divine timing, rather than in rushed desperation. Desperation scares clients away; I highly recommend all BLI$$ness women start off having a cash-cushion or steady day-job as their BLI$$ness builds.
Now I run my BLI$$ness from all over the world
While I don’t recommend manifesting a neck injury to cut those golden handcuffs, I do suggest stepping through the fire and launching that soul-inspired business/BLI$$ness sooner than later! For me, I think it took a desperate situation to get me to push past my fear. I hope it doesn’t take this much for you.
What I can say is that I have absolutely no regrets on leaving that fear-based J-O-B, don’t miss the work in the slightest (I thought I might), and I have made more money in way less time being self-employed. I also love and adore my “soulmate clients” as I call my clients, and I love the freedom, creativity, and flexibility I have as a BLI$$preneur.
I now get to live between Europe, Asia, and the US coaching, writing, teaching, and running my BLI$$ness, and it’s truly a dream come true. I so wish you the same BLI$$ings and BLE$$ings to come true and know that each and every one of you have what it takes and that your angels are guiding you.

This article is for you if you are a stellar single woman who is seeking her Twin Flame who at the same time is wanting to work for herself. You can do it. You can have your dream business (or BLI$$ness as I call it, business + BLI$$ + big buck$) as well as call in a divine partner. I want to help you have the most magical life with your Twin Flame and be on your Twin Flame Mission together. This starts with grounding your own dreams, financial abundance, and expressing and spreading your gifts out there in a big way.
Thus, I wrote this blog to help you make as much money doing what you absolutely love and adore based on what worked for me. I went from starving hippie-healer to high-end matchmaker within a short period. I learned this one secret that saved my life and got me abundant so that I can travel, do what I love, or at least pay the bills and rest well!
Wanna know the #1 secret to growing your 6-figure BLI$$ness within a year!? FOUR…Yep! To make six-figures in your online business, you need the magic of number 4.
Four hours that is: you need to spend four hours every single weekday doing the following:
Marketing. MaR-KeT-TinGggg!
Awee, don’t give me that look, it ain’t so bad! You say you hate marketing, that you’re not a business woman, that you’d rather shoot yourself than become a part-time marketer!
Does marketing seem like a trap to you?
Well my friend, I have some good news for ya: marketing doesn’t have to be boring, lame, or creepy-salesy, cheesy kinda marketing (though I love cheesy, as you can see)!
It really can be fun (I’m having fun marketing in this moment writing this blog for instance). Really, it’s up to you, you can make your process however you want it to be. But you gotta do marketing regularly and consistently to get your business known, exposed, and to make the cheddar ($$$). If you’re not willing to do loads of marketing at first, your business won’t be a business at all – you’ll be a hidden secret. And eventually, you’ll run out of money and inspiration, and you’ll have to go back to that day job. Don’t do that! Get to marketttting!
Marketing can be real, raw, vulnerable, and even sexy or goofy if you like – blogs, videos, FB posts, interviews, free calls, ebooks, workshops, etc. can each have your authentic flavor. You can put a whole lotta love into your message, and quirk too. I love being me and sharing this with the world, and even though it’s scary and awkward at first, I find it can be a really self-healing journey. I’ve shared some of my most private moments and heartbreaks in my marketing, which has helped me connect deeper with potential clients, and it’s almost like a form of therapy for me!
My marketing gets a little kinky sometimes
Marketing is sharing your soul out there with the world so that you can attract your “soulmate clients” as I call them – people who have a soul-contract with you to do healing work, where you get paid in exchange for your healing/coaching/brilliance. You can also think of it like this: marketing is just you being a messenger spreading your message of light out to the world.
You are a High-Healed Priestess – a modern-day high priestess who is determined to make money while following her soul-purpose and passions as a natural-born healer. You didn’t come here to sit around and wait for life to pass you by. NO! You came here to speak, to spread love and magic, and to heal the planet. You came here to make a difference!
I share my daily life as part of my marketing
So make marketing your friend. There are so many ways to market, and I won’t discuss those here. You do need a marketing strategy, but even if you didn’t have one (or any idea of how to do marketing) but you still spent four-hours five days/week with raw passion and excitement, you’d probably get a few divinely aligned clients. As Woody Allen says, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.”
Marketing…four hours. A day. Five days/week. Not “24-7,” just “4-5,” that’s all!!!!!
You will have six-figure succesexiness soon!
Love and light,
Amanda

Have you ever secretly (or even admittedly – that’s cool too!) wished you were a millionaire? Yet the thought of being a lame ol’ traditional greedy millionaire makes you want to cringe because you’re a caring spiritual diva? I know you would be a millionaire in a feminine, sexy and spiritual way, as a “Conscious Millionairess,” because that’s your style!
Amalfi, I love you!
What I am so excited to share here today is HOT advice to help you to start to think like a Conscious Millionairess so you can be live in luxury and aligned with your spirituality. This for those of you who are deeply committed to earning 6 or 7-figures while living wildly, radically, and freely with the Divine Feminine in Her unlimited and oh-quite-sexy abundance!
Conscious Millionairess signs
We Conscious Millionairesses are a growing segment of women around the globe who love to:
- do work that feels pleasurable and easeful, working 3 days or less!
- give back and make a HUGE difference in the world
- indulge in the best restaurants, boutiques, eco-resorts, spas, sustainable communities, etc
- eat, travel, pray, love, dine, and drink wine with the Divine!
- live in luxury and be conscious in all aspects of our lives
Is this you? Yay!!! If not, close this article ASAP and get back to that soulless underpaying J-O-B you slave at…snore! Or to being a starving hippie chick without a dime in her pocket like I was throughout my 20s, yikes!
I have 3 sizzling secrets to help you unleash your unlimited wealth potential as a Conscious Millionairess (what I often jokingly call PU$$Y Power since it often resides there on an energetic level!).
I also have a special invite to my upcoming retreat in Bali called RetrEAT, Pray Love, CLICK HERE for details.
Tip # 1: YOU get to decide your abundant bliss
Your BLI$$ is up to you. If you wait around for your friends, your parents’ subconscious, or your boyfriend to decide your level of wealth consciousness and earnings, you’re settling for less! It’s like waiting around asking the wallpaper to do your homework for you. If you’re not earning at least 6-figures doing what you love, you’re probably eating someone else’s scarcity beliefs. All of us have been programmed to do this, so don’t be ashamed, but get out now! The Gates of Goddess Abundance are open to all of us. Yet when you become passive about your wealth consciousness, you’re letting go of your divine role to self-empower yourself.
No one else can do it for you (darn it!), but luckily God/dess made you quite capable of allowing your destiny to align with your desires. Committing to yourself by loving yourself divinely in every way – including through your finances and abundance consciousness – is an important part of your soul’s evolution. Stepping into harmonized wealth consciousness heals all parts of your soul, in every single chakra, and makes you feel whole and empowered as a High-Healed Priestess. You become a better teacher, leader, love, bride, mother, and wife when you ground your finances into your lower chakras.
Just like Cinderella had to ask for it to her Fairy Godmother, you have to call out your wishes and stand with open arms. But you must ask, and with command! Allow yourself to be cradled in the mother-matter of the earth – “Maternos” (our Divine Feminine earth-material Mother) as the Divine Masculine spiritual essence of Father God “Paternos” – (patterns, or pa-terr-nos “our Father on earth”) merges with Her to make you a Conscious Millionairess in the spiritual and real-world realms. Receive the earthly blessings – cash, gifts, gold, riches, hotel visits, visits to Italy, new clothes, etc., as you receive the energetic blessings behind these divine gifts. Then…give back, financially (to charities, projects that heal the planet, small businesses, other healers/practitioners, etc.) and beam out the love!
Tip # 2: Write it consciously!
Journal asking yourself “what does my inner Conscious Millionairess desire?” And let the words flow unedited onto the paper. There are no write or wrongs! When you write with a stream of open consciousness, you let your deepest yearnings out onto the physical plane (on paper/on your laptop, etc) so they can become manifest in the “real world.” Be creative and permit yourself to fantasize about your dream life, dream BLI$$ness, dream indulgances – what you will do as a Conscious Millionairess. Then, take action based on however your Higher Self guides you.
For instance, I was writing in my diary a few months ago…it came out that I wanted to travel the Mediterranean with my boutique coaching BLI$$ness. I had no idea how badly I wanted this dream to come true (I’ve had it in the back of my mind for a few years now). I also wrote that I badly wanted to finally take a group of women with me to Bali that I had been talking about forever. Wow, how I wanted this badly! Without writing out my desires, I might not have become aware of them. Without awareness, we’re so much less likely to step into what we want, as quickly as we want it. I then realized that both of these goals were entirely attainable and I booked tickets for Italy and Crete, and instantly several of my current clients started signing up for my Bali retreat. Like magic, write?
Tip # 3: Dress it, eat it, live it, be it… One high-healed step at a time.
Dress for succsexiness. I have a little secret that can help you step into divine wealth a ton faster… Dress for succsexiness! Seriously, when you invest in better clothes and dress a little more high-end chic (or a lot more if you’re starting from yoga clothes like I was), it puts an aura of success as well as admirable sexiness around you. People naturally start becoming drawn to you and listen to you more carefully. By taking your fashion, hair, makeup and accessories more seriously, people see that you mean business (I mean BLI$$ness!). I’ve also gotten so much more male attention since my Conscious Millionairess fashion makeover – they’re pretty simple-minded folk when it comes to looks eh, and pretty transparent about it!
Eat rich. Even indulging in more expensive, exotic, or high-end foods can evoke a Conscious Millionairess vibe around you. Unless you are alcohol sensitive, make it a habit to sip a glass of sacred wine several times a week. Make it a spiritual practice and sip slowly while feeling the love within the wine! Buy, order, or make a very special, flavorful and sensual meal for yourself (and your Beloved or a friend if you like) to celebrate your divine abundance as often as you can. Raw chocolate cake is my personal favorite in the US. I’ve been eating out every night here and I can’t tell you how much I love being pampered and spoiled by Greek cuisine (and the cute waiters too!). It’s fueling my energy for my BLI$$ness as well, so it’s almost a business investment, despite what the IRA would say!
Why wait for bliss to come to you, when you can go to it?!!!
Live like a Conscious Millionairess. Travel, live, breath, act as if, and it becomes! I have officially launched the retreat in February, 2014 in Ubud, Bali, to help you become a Conscious Millionairess. We’ll be staying at a fresh water spring’s resort with yoga, spa treatments, organic food, workshops, and a goddess photo shoot, all included! Check it out HERE; the early bird discount won’t last much longer!
So, here I am soaking up the Med’s sunshine as I write you this I am in an ancient sea view cave in Crete. I find it pretty amazing that I have an iPhone with internet that works as a hotspot so I can send this article to my beloved virtual assistant! Remember, it’s YOU, conscious one, who must make your wealth consciousness shift. The leap over the ravine is much smaller as it seems, as you’ll be lifted by your angels. You CAN do it, and it’s so friggin pleasurable. We are doing this together to change the collective consciousness for women worldwide. Your angels are here to help you and guide you every step of the way, and I am so glad to gently guide you along the way from time to time. Sending you so much divine abundance and strength to break through as a Conscious Millionairess, wherever you are on your path!

As a female entrepreneur and High-Healed Priestess, I teach women how to bliss out, let their hair down, and feel sexy in their businesses while making 6-figures, what I call doing BLI$$ness (business + bliss + big buck$).
People are asking me, “Amanda, what is the deal with the heels?” So I thought to answer that question in this blog, and also to explain what high heels do for me as a BLI$$ness owner and HHP (High-Healed Priestess). I have also included a few shots from a recent photo shoot in Florence, Italy to show the transformation that heels can impart.
Before: lacking confidence, shorter, shriveled sense of self-worth, average-looking woman.
Every inch of hard material under a woman’s heels gives her an inch of extra confidence… It’s kinda like inches on a man’s body – (within reason) the longer the better. In fact, women began wearing high heels to be tall like men. Click here for the history of high heels and their invention in Europe. So we walk around on little pedestals to show off that we’re women of leisure, and that we deserve as much respect and power as men do. A woman’s confidence can fluctuate as quickly as her mood and her hormone cycle. A good pair of heels can help correct a confidence level on a day when it’s, well, tipsy…
Every woman secretly wants to be put on a pedestal. Heels provide a platform for self-confidence.
Is this ridiculous? Certainly. Should we question it? Most definitely. There are 
many reasons not to don heels. Bad backs. Not being able to run away from a rapist when traipsing around shady parts of the downtown at night in your mini dress like your mother taught you not to do (though these heels could definitely come in handy and I bet I could kill someone if I used their sharp point as a weapon as I’ve seen in movies!). Not to mention twisted ankles and monster bunions… All good reasons not to wear heels, right?
Yet I am a HHP and I am not practical all of the time – we priestesses simply cannot resist peculiar customs that make us feel like goddesses, no matter how ridiculous they may be! We can’t let our lady feet lag around in flats all the time…But with bunions, potential back problems, and the risk of toppling over, are high heels worth it, and are they anti-feminist?
Come on lil’ caterpillar…
Honestly, I think that wearing heels on a daily basis would be plain dumb. Do I walk around in high heels often? Nope. I’m actually more frequently caught laying around in them on soft surfaces, nibbling things and doing naughty things…They’re much more comfortable that way. I’m also seen with heels at live business events, but most of the time I am either barefoot or wearing a pear of studded Jimmy Choo/Uggs or sexy slippers with the heels parked nearby. I value my own comfort and safety more than I value looks (except when I am on camera since those images last forever).
BAM! Heels are healing. Like acupuncture: pain now, but good energy for life! I feel like I can butter-FLY in ‘dese!
Is it unfeminist to wear heels? Wah wah! I find that it feels divinely feminine to strut around in heels, actually (just not longer than is painful). Sometimes I get turned on just wearing them around the house, even while Skyping from my virtual office with my clients who have no idea what I’m wearing down yonder. It’s like wearing sexy lingerie to a board meeting: you’re the only one who knows about your secret weapon. Board meetings, that seems so 80s to me as a BLI$$preneur!
The answer to the above question is: Do I care about being feminist anymore? Should we care? Where did that get us? …to be angry man haters? …acting just like men? OK, it got us to some awesome places, but now it’s time to break the rules again and just do as we please and also think about what intuitively feels right.
I love doing BLI$$ness in the most feminine, pleasurable way possible. In fact, I am so stubborn and also scared $h*tless of things that aren’t blissful and easy, that I tend to not get anything done at all unless it’s done in a High-Healed Priestess playful and sexy manner. It’s how I’ve had my success and how I teach my tribe of HHPs to build their 6-figure BLI$$nesses, too.
Just be you. As weird as you may be!
That’s the secret to dressing for success and succsexiness. If you feel better wearing combat boots, by all means do that. I grew up in hippie feminist Berkeley where most moms didn’t wear makeup and all I wanted to do was play with Barbies and dose up on the eyeshadow already. Call me repressed, but this girl wants to be a little girly sometimes, especially when it comes to stepping on the stage…
And isn’t that what we’re doing as BLI$$ness women? Stepping up on the stage, where others can see us, hear our unique messages, and learn from what we have to speak? Heels represent that, the little pedestals we walk on. God bless you if you don’t need heels or hair or makeup to feel confident as a woman on stage. Or if you have flawless skin that doesn’t need concealer, or long legs that don’t need that little boost (and boost of your caboose, which heels do so nicely may I say!).
After: healed, whole, happy in heels hottie with confidence!
I say this: do whatever turns YOU on, and your clients will come. Waiting around to do what’s right or what you “should” do will attract no one or just people who are as repressed and boring as you are being, which is going to burn you out fast in your BLI$$ness.
I love working with fun, funky, sexy, freed women who have been waiting to stomp around not caring what other people think. The magic is when you do that and people still actually want to pay you for your bliss!
“The fact is, sometimes it’s hard to walk in a single women’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then – to make the walk a little more fun.”
– Carrie Bradshaw, Sex & The City
The moral of the story: high heels make you look hot. You might sprain an ankle, but even Ace bandages look great with heels! Careful walking down those uneven stone staircases!
Come on ladies, just put on whatever the f%&k makes you feel like the sexy BLI$$ness bombshell you are and embrace all those A$$ets and come on and do a little dance with me. I’ve kicked my heels off already, since I like to breakdance and belly dance at the same time and it’s too hard to do in heels. Girl, I love you! Now let’s go have some fun.
“You put high heels on and you change.”
– Manolo Blahnik
Top three tips to wearing high heels like a HHP:
1)Bring a change of flats, here’s a great portable option- foldable shoes with a wrist pouch by Dr. Scholl’s ($12.99) available at most drug stores.
2) Don’t wear really high heels for more than a your feet enjoy, a few minutes at a time perhaps – life is too short to be in pain! Never dance in heels since no one will be looking at your feet anyway, and you won’t fully enjoy the experience.
3) Take as many photos earlier in the evening after you make your grand high-healed entrance. You’ll be forever remembered for those adorable fuck-me-shoes that everyone will see on Facebook for years to come. On top of this, your makeup and hair will be fresh at the beginning of the evening anyways. You’ll pull a Mr. Rogers and switch to the flats. You’ll stay grounded and balanced instead of tipsy (unless you have that new pink cosmo drink). Most people think it’s adorable that you have your little back-ups. Ladies will constantly be asking you where to buy a pair!
Futuristic Fuck-Me’s
Looking into the future with high heels, I see inventions that work with the ever changing foot-fetish needs of the High-Healed Priestess. I pray for the day when someone invents an adjustable high heel so that you can walk comfortably, then click a button at the back of the shoe to elevate yourself 2-5 inches, depending on the height of your date or how much confidence you’re needing that day. Let’s see if I can patent that before some designer nerd gets to it, I’m sure I’ll make a fortune!

Technology…Yuck! As a High-Healed Priestess I will be the first to admit that I can be a bit of a dumb blond in this area. But after disclaiming that, I also get to tell you that I hated having sucky sound in my earlier vids, and I have made some sound improvements on both sound and video quality by using my iphone with some special tricks I share below.
This is how I feel before I get empowered as a BLI$$preneur and handle the technology bits!
Here’s how to make YouTube videos with your iPhone with decent sound quality; three five steps to setting yourself up for crystal clear sound:
1) Buy this lapel mic for the iPhone. The only one I’ve seen so far is the Audio Technica ATR 3350 Lavalier Mic. It works with all iPhones, iPads, and many other cameras.
2) You’ll also need an adapter or the mic won’t actually do anything – I found this out last year the hard way getting all excited when the mic came in the mail, and nothing worked. Oye! So here’s where to buy the iPhone 1/8 inch microphone adapter 3.5 mm.
This tiny battery will turn your microphone ON!
3) Also buy some extra batteries, you’ll need a pack of lr44 batteries and make sure to buy a few because if you pull a dumb blond moment like I’ve done a few times, you’ll leave the mic on all week and come back to find a dead battery and wanna scream!
4) Clip your mic underneath your dress or shirt so you don’t see the cord on the outside. Bras are convenient places to “plug in” but you do want the mic to be unobstructed from your mouth. Having cleavage really helps! I just jam my mic between my girls on the outside of my bra and I’m good to go (as long as I’m wearing a low-cut top).
5) Do a sound check. There’s nothing f%&ing more frusterating than the two mistakes I’ve made: (1) recording the whole video and the sound sounds $hitty, and (2) recording the entire video flawlessly to realize that you forgot to turn the darn mic on!
Where I started: click here to see my YouTube channel and don’t laugh at the poor sound and video quality I had when first starting on my Macbook Pro with no external mic! Also, don’t laugh at the quality of some of the current shots as I am learning how to make good videos and have come to believe that I need to invest in an SLR camera, which is why I purchased this new baby today!
I got the Canon T4i 650D which I am loving – it is the top choice for a budget SLR camera for your YouTube videos, and you’ll see a huge difference in my upcoming YouTube videos in terms of visual quality. Can’t wait to see what you think.
Just because you have a vagina doesn’t mean that you can’t rock new technologies!
Good luck BLI$$ness women (and sexy BLI$$ness men), to your flawless and funky videos!
Deep breath, don’t be afraid. If I could do it, so can you…believe me, I am a big baby when it comes to these types of tech things, but I am getting so much better!
