Hi everyone! Thank you SO much for the love on this video - it means the world to me!! 🥹 I created a 30-page workbook to go along with it to build your strategy, brand and business as a content creator here: www.busyblooming.ca/shop + just wanted to share!

@johannaniesha Ай бұрын

Loved this! These are some notes I made but it’s not everything, just things I found useful in the video! 1. Start a series. This works especially well with short form content 2. Make the content about the audience. Use “You” instead of “I/me” 3. Have one liners and hooks 4. Post quality over quantity. Try to post over 3 or 6 videos per week. 5. Post outreach videos. Don’t post videos that are off brand during the growth phase. 6. Do not stop testing and trying things. Don’t stop testing new hooks, platforms, styles etc. 7. Focus on building community. Think about a specific persona who might need your videos. Think about the specific person you’re talking to with every single piece of content you post. 8. Adopt the mindset of someone who’s a content creator. If you had 100k followers what would you post? 9. Never stop pivoting, changing, testing or trying. 10. Give yourself permission to talk about the things that you want to talk about. 11. Remember comparison is the thief of joy. Run in your own lane!

I am small KZfaqr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).

OMG this was THE BEST video I've ever watched about becoming a full-time content creator. I just want to say how much I appreciate it! I have a full-time corporate job and I'm a part-time KZfaqr, with the goal of making it my full-time profession. Recently I branded my videos "The New 40" as a way for women to feel more confident and embrace getting older. By doing so, I saw a big increase in subscribers and comments in my videos. I love the idea of starting a series, do you think this would work well on KZfaq? You mentioned uploading 3 to 6 videos a week on IG and TikTok. Thanks!!

@sabrinakalea 19 күн бұрын

I looked at your account and it's so smart of you to say ‘the new 40’ because just from your thumbnails I thought you were in your twenties. So that's a very important piece of information that makes it more relatable and interesting.

For me, I’m not struggling as much with building an audience or a brand but more of how to monetize. My experience with pitching for brand deals is that a lot of the businesses on my niche don’t see the value in paying for content and are used to doing a trafe. That doesn’t pay the bills. Would have been interesting if you talked about that because building an audience on social media doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to go full time
