Content Creators! Get in Here! (Instagram, YT, TikTok, etc.)

[SoberAwakening]

What's up y'all? I wanted to create a thread for content creators (big and small) or maybe folks who are interested in becoming one.

Rarely do I see a place where content creators come to share dos/donts, encouragement, or just a place to vent.

About Me: I started a millennial nostalgia page on Instagram back in October 2024. I did it because I enjoy the niche and because I lost my mom back in 2022, and going back to the good memories of her takes me back to the 80s, 90s, and 2000s .

What are some things that you've learned along the way that you'd be willing to share? Here is my ever growing list:

1) Consistency is key
2) Find your battle rhythm (of posting)
3) There's enough room at the table for everyone to eat.
4) Your biggest supporters will be strangers...don't take it personal.
5) Pay attention to what people say to you and what they send you via IG/TikTok ..it might be a double message.
6) Self Belief is a super power. It didn't matter if I had 30 followers or 30,000 followers or wanting to grow to higher heights...I always believed and always talked about it like it was bigger than my current status. Good days, great days, or bad ones...my belief in myself never changed.
7) Enjoy the journey!

The fact that there's no reply on this well thought out and written post shows that Sherdog is full of grumpy old men who types with their index fingers and shares chain emails

All roads lead to money

No views, no money, quit
Not enough views, no money, quit
It’s a lot of work
The algorithm is not your friend, and unstable

If you can get past all this, you can have a bit of fun, notoriety, and make money. Even if you’re not good, you can improve simply by doing it a lot, learn on the job. You become an influencer and people in your field develop trust in you, without ever meeting you.

It’s kind of cool, and there’s a lot of money on the table if you want it bad enough.

Social media is the scourge of society

influencers are cancer and should be put in prison.

I'm developing a podcast; hoping to have the first episode out in the next month or so. I'll link it on here.

I type with my thumb and rarely ever check my email.

Ive always wondered why people do this. Chasing "Likes" seems to be the pinnacle of narcissism.

I can understand trying to bring joy to people's lives. Is this this content creation your form of "art"?
