    further Ado let's get into how to become
  • 00:02:17
    a content creator number one thing you
  • 00:02:19
    need to do is just start and that is
  • 00:02:22
    honestly the hardest part the hardest
  • 00:02:23
    part is starting but it is something
  • 00:02:25
    that if you ask any Creator they will
  • 00:02:27
    say they wish they started earlier I
  • 00:02:29
    started around 2020 pandemic Vibe along
  • 00:02:32
    with a lot of other people but when I
  • 00:02:34
    was starting I was so specific and
  • 00:02:36
    nitpicky and very judgmental towards
  • 00:02:38
    myself almost I wanted everything to be
  • 00:02:40
    absolutely perfect before I started
  • 00:02:42
    posting on Tik Tok was the first
  • 00:02:43
    platform that I really started on as an
  • 00:02:46
    influencer a content creator and I
  • 00:02:48
    started with fashion videos but I was so
  • 00:02:50
    picky because I used to have very like
  • 00:02:52
    cotton candy pink walls like not a cute
  • 00:02:54
    pastel pink it was a little bit
  • 00:02:56
    obnoxious the color was called Magic
  • 00:02:58
    pink and I loved it when I picked it but
  • 00:03:00
    then I was like how am I supposed to
  • 00:03:01
    make these cute trendy fashion videos in
  • 00:03:03
    my pink room like it just doesn't look
  • 00:03:05
    aesthetic Pinterest worthy whatever and
  • 00:03:07
    I didn't start my videos until I had
  • 00:03:10
    painted my walls white and painting is
  • 00:03:12
    like not an easy thing to do but I was
  • 00:03:13
    like I just have to wait until I paint
  • 00:03:14
    my walls like I need everything to be
  • 00:03:16
    perfect and I was so picky when really
  • 00:03:20
    not being perfect is what makes you a
  • 00:03:22
    good Creator so I want you guys to
  • 00:03:24
    remember that stop waiting for the
  • 00:03:25
    perfect moment because perfect doesn't
  • 00:03:27
    exist and if you're waiting for the
  • 00:03:29
    perfect window opportunity to happen
  • 00:03:31
    it's not coming you have to create that
  • 00:03:33
    window of opportunity yourself
  • 00:03:35
    especially for something like content
  • 00:03:37
    creation and if it's something you
  • 00:03:38
    really want just start you know I used
  • 00:03:40
    to make videos in my room when I was
  • 00:03:41
    little no one was watching them but I
  • 00:03:43
    didn't care I was like making little
  • 00:03:45
    videos on my iPod Touch so stop waiting
  • 00:03:47
    for the perfect camera or to build a
  • 00:03:50
    following first or the perfect video
  • 00:03:51
    idea things like that I'd say my biggest
  • 00:03:53
    piece of advice is just start and I know
  • 00:03:56
    for a lot of people posting and the
  • 00:03:58
    thought of other people seeing it can be
  • 00:04:00
    very very scary clear your head of that
  • 00:04:02
    because that's what I used to think
  • 00:04:04
    right when I first started posting on
  • 00:04:06
    Instagram I feel like Instagram is one
  • 00:04:07
    of the scariest because that's where
  • 00:04:09
    people you know typically follow you but
  • 00:04:11
    once I started posting now there's so
  • 00:04:13
    many more people who don't know me than
  • 00:04:15
    do know me who follow me so I'm posting
  • 00:04:17
    for them so clear your mind of the
  • 00:04:18
    people who know you the people who you
  • 00:04:20
    are afraid of judging you you can even
  • 00:04:21
    remove them as followers if you want I
  • 00:04:23
    don't care whatever you need to do to
  • 00:04:26
    release that fear of outside judgment
  • 00:04:29
    because everyone is trying people will
  • 00:04:31
    judge you until you are winning people
  • 00:04:34
    will judge you and think those videos
  • 00:04:35
    are weird until suddenly you're on their
  • 00:04:37
    explore page and suddenly you're making
  • 00:04:39
    money and making a living and suddenly
  • 00:04:42
    you are modeling for their favorite
  • 00:04:44
    brands or doing collabs with their
  • 00:04:45
    favorite Brands Look Who's laughing now
  • 00:04:47
    so don't worry about what anyone else
  • 00:04:49
    thinks and I promise like your favorite
  • 00:04:51
    creators right now who you watch they
  • 00:04:53
    used to be afraid to press post they
  • 00:04:55
    used to be afraid of what other people
  • 00:04:57
    would think of them it does not matter I
  • 00:04:59
    promise I think the best way to do this
  • 00:05:02
    is to kind of clear your mind of who the
  • 00:05:04
    audience is and start focusing on the
  • 00:05:07
    art of your videos so a big way to do
  • 00:05:09
    this is to make sure you're doing
  • 00:05:11
    content creation for the right reasons
  • 00:05:13
    number one don't do it just to be famous
  • 00:05:15
    don't do it just to make money don't do
  • 00:05:17
    it just to get free stuff because
  • 00:05:19
    otherwise you are not creating a
  • 00:05:21
    sustainable career and platform for
  • 00:05:22
    yourself because you will get burnt out
  • 00:05:24
    if your heart isn't truly in it and I
  • 00:05:27
    promise you that because you see it
  • 00:05:28
    happen with everybody like I I really do
  • 00:05:31
    not like when people are like I just
  • 00:05:33
    want to be famous like I just decided
  • 00:05:34
    I'm going to be Tik Tok famous well you
  • 00:05:36
    can do that but are you in it for the
  • 00:05:38
    right reasons and are you going to have
  • 00:05:41
    a genuine authentic personality to
  • 00:05:44
    display on your platform or are people
  • 00:05:46
    going to be able to tell that there is
  • 00:05:48
    no lights on behind those eyes and
  • 00:05:50
    you're just doing it just to do it so
  • 00:05:53
    decide what your reasons are maybe you
  • 00:05:55
    want to inspire other people maybe you
  • 00:05:57
    create art and you just want to share it
  • 00:05:59
    with the world maybe you want to teach
  • 00:06:01
    people how to do stuff maybe you have a
  • 00:06:02
    talent that you want to share with the
  • 00:06:03
    world for me I decided that what I want
  • 00:06:07
    to do and what I feel best doing is
  • 00:06:09
    motivating other people and educating
  • 00:06:11
    other people like self-help is the most
  • 00:06:14
    fulfilling Niche I've ever been in and
  • 00:06:17
    take it for me because I used to do
  • 00:06:19
    fashion videos I used to try to do vlogs
  • 00:06:21
    all those things and those are fun
  • 00:06:22
    cutesy girly things so that could also
  • 00:06:24
    be maybe something that's your why is
  • 00:06:27
    maybe you just want to share your life
  • 00:06:28
    with people enjoy editing and creating
  • 00:06:30
    videos but figure out what your why is
  • 00:06:33
    because if there's no why if there's no
  • 00:06:36
    message if there's no Mission behind
  • 00:06:37
    what you're doing and this goes for
  • 00:06:39
    everything in life not just content
  • 00:06:40
    creation you are not creating a
  • 00:06:44
    sustainable platform for yourself to
  • 00:06:46
    build upon you will get burnt out and
  • 00:06:48
    your heart won't be in it so make sure
  • 00:06:50
    you are just sharing content that is
  • 00:06:51
    totally authentic to you and something
  • 00:06:53
    that you really enjoy because when you
  • 00:06:55
    are doing something that you truly love
  • 00:06:57
    it doesn't matter who's watching it it
  • 00:07:00
    doesn't matter if you have one viewer or
  • 00:07:01
    if you have a million viewers you just
  • 00:07:04
    have to start and that is a huge piece
  • 00:07:05
    of advice I have is take out the numbers
  • 00:07:08
    take out the numbers of likes take out
  • 00:07:10
    the numbers of subscribers or followers
  • 00:07:12
    because when I first started this
  • 00:07:13
    podcast that I'm speaking to you on I
  • 00:07:16
    started from zero every single platform
  • 00:07:19
    every single influencer that you are
  • 00:07:20
    seeing they all started from zero so
  • 00:07:22
    don't feel weird about the fact that you
  • 00:07:24
    don't have a following quite yet or your
  • 00:07:25
    videos aren't getting many likes because
  • 00:07:27
    that is where everyone start started
  • 00:07:30
    overnight Sensations are so so rare so
  • 00:07:33
    don't be disappointed or don't get
  • 00:07:34
    discouraged if this is what happens to
  • 00:07:36
    you because truly like I know in my
  • 00:07:40
    heart when I was creating my podcast
  • 00:07:42
    right I was just speaking my truth I was
  • 00:07:44
    saying exactly what I wanted to say all
  • 00:07:46
    the things that I stand by all of my
  • 00:07:48
    messages straight from my heart and it
  • 00:07:50
    didn't matter to me if one person saw
  • 00:07:52
    that episode or if a million people saw
  • 00:07:54
    that episode because I was going to put
  • 00:07:55
    my all into it no matter what because
  • 00:07:57
    it's something that I loved like your
  • 00:07:59
    platform is like your baby your videos
  • 00:08:01
    and everything that you're creating is
  • 00:08:03
    your baby like think of content creation
  • 00:08:06
    it's art right it's a form of expression
  • 00:08:09
    so you have to make sure although you
  • 00:08:11
    know you don't need to put all this time
  • 00:08:13
    and effort into it if you're doing maybe
  • 00:08:15
    short form videos or just something
  • 00:08:17
    really simple but you do have to make
  • 00:08:19
    sure your heart is in the right place
  • 00:08:21
    another huge piece of advice I have is
  • 00:08:23
    stop comparing yourself to others and
  • 00:08:25
    when you are thinking of the kind of
  • 00:08:26
    content you want to create don't copy
  • 00:08:28
    other people there are a million people
  • 00:08:31
    doing get ready with MES there's a
  • 00:08:32
    million people doing podcasts right
  • 00:08:34
    there's a million people doing workout
  • 00:08:36
    videos fashion videos every single Niche
  • 00:08:38
    right there are so many people within
  • 00:08:40
    that category so instead of trying to be
  • 00:08:44
    like someone else which I feel like we
  • 00:08:45
    see a lot of people doing on social
  • 00:08:46
    media they're trying to recreate someone
  • 00:08:48
    else's Vibe recreate someone else's
  • 00:08:50
    video or topic the best thing you can do
  • 00:08:52
    is try and set yourself apart I feel
  • 00:08:55
    like as humans we naturally do this
  • 00:08:56
    thing where we're like oh this worked
  • 00:08:58
    for that person so let me try this I
  • 00:09:00
    feel like when Alex Earl blew up on Tik
  • 00:09:02
    Tok everyone was like okay wait like let
  • 00:09:04
    me start making more get ready with MES
  • 00:09:06
    and story times and things like that
  • 00:09:08
    well we already have so many of those
  • 00:09:10
    now and everyone was trying to do that
  • 00:09:12
    same thing and they weren't getting the
  • 00:09:13
    same result as her same as Charlie
  • 00:09:15
    demilio right she was dancing on Tik Tok
  • 00:09:18
    and then people tried to do the same
  • 00:09:19
    thing but no one got as famous or blew
  • 00:09:21
    up as much as her really for doing the
  • 00:09:24
    exact same thing cuz we've already seen
  • 00:09:25
    that so you have to decide what's going
  • 00:09:28
    to set you apart and this do even have
  • 00:09:29
    to be what your video is but maybe it's
  • 00:09:32
    the vibe or the energy that you bring
  • 00:09:34
    maybe it's certain things that you say
  • 00:09:36
    you figure out what it is that's going
  • 00:09:38
    to set you apart from other people
  • 00:09:40
    because I feel like when you're starting
  • 00:09:41
    out it's so easy to want to mimic others
  • 00:09:44
    but create your own thing that is the
  • 00:09:46
    art of content creation is you get to be
  • 00:09:48
    creative and when you're thinking of
  • 00:09:49
    what you want your videos to be about
  • 00:09:51
    try not to put yourself in a box I feel
  • 00:09:53
    like this is something we see so
  • 00:09:55
    commonly we definitely try to limit
  • 00:09:58
    ourselves or niche down it's a really
  • 00:10:00
    common term that you'll hear in the
  • 00:10:01
    social media Community niching down I
  • 00:10:05
    think is a good tactic if all you want
  • 00:10:08
    is views if all you want is views sure
  • 00:10:11
    maybe stick to the same aesthetic stick
  • 00:10:13
    to the same type of video stick to only
  • 00:10:15
    cooking only dancing things like that
  • 00:10:17
    but if you want to build a
  • 00:10:19
    community make yourself your Niche and
  • 00:10:22
    this is a little silly to say make
  • 00:10:25
    yourself your Niche because what makes
  • 00:10:26
    your content your content is that you
  • 00:10:28
    are a beautiful combination of all the
  • 00:10:31
    things that you love so I don't just do
  • 00:10:33
    podcasts I do some fashion I do some
  • 00:10:35
    relationship advice I do some self-help
  • 00:10:38
    self-care someday in my life sometimes
  • 00:10:40
    I'll talk about gym stuff I'll do hauls
  • 00:10:42
    you know it can feel a bit random but
  • 00:10:44
    the one thing that's the common
  • 00:10:46
    denominator on all these things is it's
  • 00:10:48
    very me it's me I'm the vibe of my
  • 00:10:52
    channel of my videos you know of all my
  • 00:10:54
    different platforms and when you look at
  • 00:10:56
    my channel it still very much looks like
  • 00:10:58
    me it's all pink it's all girly like you
  • 00:11:01
    don't need to say oh I only do fashion
  • 00:11:04
    videos and this is something that
  • 00:11:05
    happened to me exactly I only did
  • 00:11:07
    fashion videos for years that's what I
  • 00:11:09
    started on that's what I was known for I
  • 00:11:11
    was known for my pink hair everything
  • 00:11:13
    like that and when I decided I wanted to
  • 00:11:16
    I feel like my content almost matured
  • 00:11:17
    like when I decided I wanted to do
  • 00:11:19
    self-help when I decided I wanted to
  • 00:11:21
    have more meaning behind what I was
  • 00:11:22
    doing I was scared I was scared to
  • 00:11:25
    Branch out from fashion and I knew I
  • 00:11:27
    wasn't really enjoying it anymore don't
  • 00:11:29
    get me wrong I still love fashion but I
  • 00:11:31
    didn't want that to be it because I
  • 00:11:33
    didn't have the right passion behind
  • 00:11:37
    just that I knew there was more that I
  • 00:11:39
    was meant to share on my platform and I
  • 00:11:41
    was scared to Branch out and to try that
  • 00:11:44
    because I was afraid of what my viewers
  • 00:11:45
    would think because I was like they all
  • 00:11:47
    followed me for fashion and they're
  • 00:11:48
    going to be like who is this girl what
  • 00:11:50
    is she doing and that did happen with a
  • 00:11:52
    few people but the right people will
  • 00:11:54
    find your content and they will be there
  • 00:11:56
    for you as a person and that's what's
  • 00:11:59
    important about not keeping yourself in
  • 00:12:01
    a box if you are doing things and you're
  • 00:12:04
    putting yourself in a box and you're
  • 00:12:05
    forcing yourself to show up as the same
  • 00:12:07
    person every single day same internet
  • 00:12:09
    Persona same Niche you are not going to
  • 00:12:12
    be enjoying it you are not going to be
  • 00:12:13
    fulfilled if that's not where your heart
  • 00:12:15
    really is there's a quote that I think
  • 00:12:16
    Mel Robin said and I might kind of
  • 00:12:18
    butcher it but it goes along the lines
  • 00:12:21
    of the biggest Injustice that humans
  • 00:12:24
    face on a daily basis is the need to
  • 00:12:27
    remain consistent with how they identify
  • 00:12:29
    themselves the biggest Injustice that
  • 00:12:32
    humans face on a daily basis is the need
  • 00:12:35
    to remain consistent with how they
  • 00:12:37
    identify themselves and to me that just
  • 00:12:40
    hit so hard because my whole life i' had
  • 00:12:42
    been searching like trying to find my
  • 00:12:43
    thing my identity what my content was
  • 00:12:46
    going to be about who I was going to
  • 00:12:47
    show up as online you don't have to like
  • 00:12:51
    you just show up as you every single day
  • 00:12:52
    and that's what people love about you is
  • 00:12:54
    because it's different and it's Unique
  • 00:12:56
    and they've never seen it before that's
  • 00:12:57
    why they'll follow you because if you're
  • 00:12:59
    just doing the same thing as the next
  • 00:13:01
    person on their F you page why would
  • 00:13:03
    they follow you opposed to them why
  • 00:13:06
    would they look up a Brianna Gomez hot
  • 00:13:08
    and unbothered video opposed to any of
  • 00:13:10
    the other podcasts that are on the
  • 00:13:12
    internet what sets you apart and if you
  • 00:13:15

  • 00:13:16

    description will get one free month
  • 00:14:15
    trial of skillshare completely free get
  • 00:14:17
    started today in the link below so now
  • 00:14:19
    it's time to actually create the content
  • 00:14:21
    so whether you're taking Instagram
  • 00:14:23
    pictures or filming things one don't be
  • 00:14:25
    a perfectionist again okay I first
  • 00:14:28
    started my podcast with the cheapest
  • 00:14:30
    Amazon mic I started my YouTube channel
  • 00:14:32
    filming on my iPhone so did everybody
  • 00:14:34
    else like you have tools right at your
  • 00:14:36
    fingertips you do not need the whole
  • 00:14:39
    expensive fancy setup of course down the
  • 00:14:41
    line of course it would be nice to maybe
  • 00:14:43
    invest in that for the quality but even
  • 00:14:45
    where phones are in this day and age
  • 00:14:47
    like they are so great you literally
  • 00:14:49
    have a camera and a podcast and an
  • 00:14:51
    Instagram following all at your
  • 00:14:53
    fingertips so don't even worry too much
  • 00:14:55
    about the equipment but if you are
  • 00:14:57
    filming or taking photos by yourself
  • 00:14:58
    maybe maybe a tripod would be nice but
  • 00:15:00
    again I don't even have a tripod if you
  • 00:15:02
    guys could see what I'm filming my
  • 00:15:04
    podcast on right now you are on two
  • 00:15:06
    candles stacked up on top of each other
  • 00:15:08
    and a mini setting powder it doesn't
  • 00:15:11
    have to be fancy but of course lighting
  • 00:15:13
    is huge when it comes to any kind of
  • 00:15:15
    content I highly suggest natural
  • 00:15:17
    lighting it's the best kind so just
  • 00:15:19
    facing a window but not too harsh if
  • 00:15:22
    that makes sense but you always want the
  • 00:15:23
    light in front of you and then try to
  • 00:15:25
    cancel out any light behind you so like
  • 00:15:27
    I close the blinds behind me but I look
  • 00:15:29
    into my nice vanity light again just
  • 00:15:31
    putting your phone in front of a window
  • 00:15:32
    to take your pictures or to film your
  • 00:15:34
    videos that works amazingly lighting is
  • 00:15:37
    huge when it comes to Quality again it
  • 00:15:38
    has nothing to do with the expensive
  • 00:15:41
    setup it's just knowing how to use
  • 00:15:44
    certain tools certain photography tricks
  • 00:15:46
    and I think a lot of this is all
  • 00:15:48
    practice I definitely got better at
  • 00:15:50
    taking my own photos things like that
  • 00:15:52
    and you have to make sure you really
  • 00:15:53
    want it also you don't need someone else
  • 00:15:56
    although it would be great if you can
  • 00:15:57
    grab a friend to go create content with
  • 00:15:59
    you I used to bring a tripod a broken
  • 00:16:02
    tripod to a parking garage nearby my
  • 00:16:05
    house and I would bring different
  • 00:16:06
    outfits to change into and I got this
  • 00:16:08
    Timer app called photo timer plus it is
  • 00:16:10
    great not sponsored but if you guys are
  • 00:16:12
    individual content creators and you are
  • 00:16:15
    just kind of working for yourself and
  • 00:16:16
    you don't have much help around photo
  • 00:16:18
    timer plus is what I used to get started
  • 00:16:21
    on Instagram and I thought it was great
  • 00:16:22
    it takes multiple photos at once all
  • 00:16:24
    that stuff that was great I would spend
  • 00:16:26
    literally just less than an hour it also
  • 00:16:28
    doesn't have to take long so take that
  • 00:16:30
    out of it as well because I used to be
  • 00:16:31
    like it's going to take so long if you
  • 00:16:34
    truly want to create content though you
  • 00:16:37
    will find the right time for it you
  • 00:16:39
    don't always need a whole day dedicated
  • 00:16:41
    to it although that is a good tip if you
  • 00:16:43
    are busy right you have a full-time job
  • 00:16:45
    maybe or you're a student maybe
  • 00:16:47
    squeezing in your content is really hard
  • 00:16:48
    for you after a long day of work or
  • 00:16:50
    school like I know I work today and I'm
  • 00:16:51
    a little sleepy so it's nice too if you
  • 00:16:54
    have a day off and you can dedicate that
  • 00:16:57
    day to getting your content in of course
  • 00:16:59
    it does not have to take the whole day
  • 00:17:01
    but just a Content day where you do your
  • 00:17:02
    makeup and get all cute and you're ready
  • 00:17:04
    you can film maybe multiple videos or a
  • 00:17:06
    video and take some pictures for a photo
  • 00:17:08
    dump something like that just to really
  • 00:17:10
    manage your time if content creation is
  • 00:17:13
    starting as a side thing for you instead
  • 00:17:15
    of a full-time job time management you
  • 00:17:17
    guys will learn is huge so stocking up
  • 00:17:20
    on content is a very very big tip that I
  • 00:17:23
    have when you can and then of course
  • 00:17:25
    repurposing content so this could mean
  • 00:17:27
    getting b-roll b-roll is huge so for
  • 00:17:30
    example I might film myself getting
  • 00:17:32
    ready and then use that clip for
  • 00:17:34
    multiple different things you guys will
  • 00:17:36
    see this on my reals you will see this
  • 00:17:37
    on my Tik Tok or on my YouTube shorts I
  • 00:17:39
    repurpose content because why wouldn't
  • 00:17:41
    you like you can put different sounds
  • 00:17:44
    different captions or different clips of
  • 00:17:46
    the video that you took chop it up
  • 00:17:47
    differently things like that like you
  • 00:17:49
    are not expected to have new fresh
  • 00:17:51
    content 24/7 or find out like a time
  • 00:17:54
    where you can just film you know if I'm
  • 00:17:55
    getting ready for the day cuz I was
  • 00:17:57
    going to get ready anyway I'll film
  • 00:17:59
    myself doing my makeup things like that
  • 00:18:01
    time management is huge again creating
  • 00:18:03
    content doesn't have to be a whole or
  • 00:18:05
    deal if you're in a time crunch you can
  • 00:18:06
    find ways to squeeze it in and don't
  • 00:18:09
    rush it I would say I find myself though
  • 00:18:11
    being so rushed when I first started
  • 00:18:14
    content like I'd be like shoot I only
  • 00:18:16
    have 10 minutes before the sun goes down
  • 00:18:17
    to film a whole outfit video and then I
  • 00:18:19
    would get really frustrated and I
  • 00:18:20
    wouldn't like the way the video came out
  • 00:18:22
    because the lighting was bad and I
  • 00:18:24
    looked rushed things like that so give
  • 00:18:26
    yourself ample amount of time don't rush
  • 00:18:28
    it of course consistency is important
  • 00:18:31
    which we'll get into but you also want
  • 00:18:32
    to make sure you're putting content out
  • 00:18:34
    there that you do actually like and are
  • 00:18:36
    proud of I'll actually talk about
  • 00:18:37
    consistency right now post every day if
  • 00:18:39
    you can not necessarily on YouTube but
  • 00:18:41
    for short form content try your best to
  • 00:18:44
    post every single day if you really
  • 00:18:46
    really want to grow on Tik Tok on
  • 00:18:48
    Instagram reals on YouTube shorts post
  • 00:18:51
    every single day and I've had meetings
  • 00:18:53
    with meta I've talked to YouTube I've
  • 00:18:55
    talked to them all post every day they
  • 00:18:58
    all will say post every day I was on a
  • 00:19:00
    call with meta and I'll tell you guys
  • 00:19:01
    exactly what they told me they said
  • 00:19:03
    there is no such thing as posting too
  • 00:19:05
    much you could post 30 reals a day for
  • 00:19:09
    30 months and there's no such thing as
  • 00:19:12
    posting too much because you're just
  • 00:19:13
    putting more opportunity out there for
  • 00:19:15
    people to see your videos if you're not
  • 00:19:17
    posting how are people going to find you
  • 00:19:19
    you know what I mean and posting
  • 00:19:21
    multiple times not the same video but
  • 00:19:23
    different videos posting multiple times
  • 00:19:25
    is just enhancing and increasing your
  • 00:19:27
    probability of the algorithm choosing
  • 00:19:30
    your video now staying organized is
  • 00:19:31
    super important so I highly recommend
  • 00:19:33
    making a plan or a posting schedule so
  • 00:19:36
    maybe if you can't post every day decide
  • 00:19:38
    if you're going to post every two days
  • 00:19:40
    every 3 days things like that there's
  • 00:19:42
    also platforms where you can schedule
  • 00:19:44
    your post ahead of time which I highly
  • 00:19:45
    recommend or at least having it in your
  • 00:19:47
    drafts because not having scheduled or
  • 00:19:49
    drafted posts is the bane of my
  • 00:19:51
    existence like it's so hard to stay
  • 00:19:53
    consistent if I'm like busy midday
  • 00:19:54
    somewhere out or at work I'm like shoot
  • 00:19:56
    I have to post it can get really tricky
  • 00:19:59
    to just come up with good content on the
  • 00:20:00
    spot so highly suggest just having a day
  • 00:20:03
    you could multitask do it on the
  • 00:20:04
    treadmill do it while you're relaxing or
  • 00:20:06
    something and just kind of set up some
  • 00:20:07
    content so you are setting yourself up
  • 00:20:09
    for a successful and consistent week on
  • 00:20:12
    your platform also posting at the same
  • 00:20:14
    time every day on Instagram I know it's
  • 00:20:18
    beneficial Tik Tok on YouTube I'm not
  • 00:20:20
    too sure obviously just having videos
  • 00:20:23
    for your audience to look forward to is
  • 00:20:24
    super huge but I know that Instagram
  • 00:20:26
    they prefer that you post at a similar
  • 00:20:28
    time through throughout the day so check
  • 00:20:29
    the times to see when your followers are
  • 00:20:31
    the most active so it will give your
  • 00:20:33
    account more engagement which the
  • 00:20:35
    algorithm really likes it likes
  • 00:20:37
    engagement it likes stuff that people
  • 00:20:39
    will comment on or they'll send to their
  • 00:20:41
    friends or they will save right and so
  • 00:20:43
    this is when I find sometimes posting
  • 00:20:45
    something a little polarizing is very
  • 00:20:48
    beneficial I've had many videos go viral
  • 00:20:51
    and get millions of views and here are
  • 00:20:54
    the key factors to having things blow up
  • 00:20:57
    being very educational right teaching
  • 00:20:59
    people something that maybe they didn't
  • 00:21:00
    know or offering A New Perspective or
  • 00:21:03
    having it be very polarizing something
  • 00:21:05
    that makes people maybe a little bit mad
  • 00:21:08
    or just something that people will have
  • 00:21:09
    a strong opinion on maybe it's really
  • 00:21:11
    good or maybe it's really bad but
  • 00:21:12
    something that will make people comment
  • 00:21:14
    whether they agree or disagree or asking
  • 00:21:17
    people for advice is really helpful so I
  • 00:21:19
    used to be like guys do you think this
  • 00:21:20
    outfit is too much people would comment
  • 00:21:23
    right something that will make people
  • 00:21:25
    engaged and again something that is
  • 00:21:27
    really relatable to make people be like
  • 00:21:29
    that's so me I relate to this oh my gosh
  • 00:21:31
    you're in my head or sending it to their
  • 00:21:32
    friends over and over again because they
  • 00:21:34
    find it so relatable that is a huge way
  • 00:21:36
    and this is all about wording too right
  • 00:21:38
    it could be the exact same content you
  • 00:21:39
    were going to post but maybe you just
  • 00:21:41
    decide to alter the words to make it
  • 00:21:43
    sound a little more catchy make it sound
  • 00:21:45
    like a hook that's another way hook
  • 00:21:47
    people in the beginning of your video if
  • 00:21:49
    the beginning words of whatever your
  • 00:21:51
    content is makes zero sense people
  • 00:21:53
    aren't even going to give it the time of
  • 00:21:55
    day you have to make it sometimes short
  • 00:21:57
    and straight to the point is really
  • 00:21:59
    really beneficial or sometimes making it
  • 00:22:00
    a little bit longer so it increases the
  • 00:22:03
    watch time of the video is very helpful
  • 00:22:05
    as well this is for short form content
  • 00:22:07
    mainly but you have to do something that
  • 00:22:09
    will somehow capture the audience's
  • 00:22:12
    attention so when you're posting I want
  • 00:22:13
    you to think like is this something that
  • 00:22:15
    I would click on sometimes it doesn't
  • 00:22:16
    even have to be that elaborate maybe
  • 00:22:18
    short and simple is sometimes better
  • 00:22:20
    when you're trying to think of a caption
  • 00:22:21
    or something like that when it comes to
  • 00:22:23
    hashtags I know for Instagram they told
  • 00:22:26
    me 5 to seven hashtags is The Sweet Spot
  • 00:22:28
    spot I've heard for Tik Tok it might be
  • 00:22:30
    a little less and you don't want to use
  • 00:22:33
    oversaturated hashtags and this is for
  • 00:22:35
    Instagram they told me this meta told me
  • 00:22:37
    this you don't want to use hashtags that
  • 00:22:39
    have over 10 million posts so when
  • 00:22:41
    you're adding the hashtag it'll say how
  • 00:22:43
    many posts you don't want to use ones
  • 00:22:44
    that have over 10 million that's too
  • 00:22:47
    much also guys make sure to write down
  • 00:22:48
    all of your video ideas all of your
  • 00:22:50
    photo ideas keep them in your notes up
  • 00:22:52
    keep them on paper but this will be so
  • 00:22:55
    useful for on a rainy day maybe you're
  • 00:22:57
    feeling discouraged Maybe feeling burnt
  • 00:22:59
    out you're like I have no creativity
  • 00:23:01
    left in me because sometimes that might
  • 00:23:03
    happen if you're feeling a little down
  • 00:23:05
    now you have this entire list of videos
  • 00:23:07
    and posts to look at and you're like
  • 00:23:08
    wait I could talk about this today I can
  • 00:23:11
    go take pictures here today this is
  • 00:23:13
    relatable I could just add this caption
  • 00:23:14
    and repurpose some content keep your
  • 00:23:16
    ideas down also I highly suggest keeping
  • 00:23:18
    you know your most used hashtags and
  • 00:23:20
    things down so that way you can just
  • 00:23:22
    copy and paste it you don't have to
  • 00:23:23
    retype it out every single time it's all
  • 00:23:25
    about time management and learning quick
  • 00:23:27
    tips and tricks to help you save time
  • 00:23:29
    and make your job a lot easier there are
  • 00:23:31
    features where you can cross poost and
  • 00:23:33
    by this that means it's posting your
  • 00:23:35
    videos I believe to either Pinterest and
  • 00:23:37
    Instagram or Instagram and Facebook
  • 00:23:39
    things like that and then also whatever
  • 00:23:41
    you're posting on your Instagram or your
  • 00:23:43
    Tik Tok post that on your threads post
  • 00:23:45
    that on your Pinterest post that on your
  • 00:23:47
    YouTube shorts because one thing I'm
  • 00:23:48
    going to tell you is one different
  • 00:23:50
    audiences on different platforms react
  • 00:23:52
    differently to certain content so a
  • 00:23:54
    video that completely flops on my Tik
  • 00:23:55
    Tok will go viral on my Instagram like I
  • 00:23:59
    had a video just get four million views
  • 00:24:01
    within one day on my Instagram and it
  • 00:24:03
    was so simple so so easy to make a
  • 00:24:06
    secret that I will let you guys in on is
  • 00:24:08
    that platforms and apps they love when
  • 00:24:10
    you use their editing tools so if you're
  • 00:24:13
    going to add a caption to a certain
  • 00:24:15
    video on Tik Tok make sure to add it
  • 00:24:17
    individually on Instagram add it
  • 00:24:19
    individually on YouTube shorts use their
  • 00:24:22
    editing tools because the algorithm
  • 00:24:24
    prefers that I don't know why the
  • 00:24:26
    algorithm favors when you edit an app
  • 00:24:28
    when you use their sounds when you use
  • 00:24:30
    their text their fonts everything like
  • 00:24:32
    that so use the tools that are specific
  • 00:24:35
    to each platform and it'll work I
  • 00:24:38
    promise Pinterest is a huge one because
  • 00:24:40
    Pinterest is I feel like a whole
  • 00:24:42
    different aspect of the Internet it's
  • 00:24:46
    where the girlies go I feel like it's
  • 00:24:47
    great to just find people who are
  • 00:24:49
    like-minded to you just the way the
  • 00:24:50
    Pinterest algorithm Works post your
  • 00:24:53
    things on Pinterest or post a picture or
  • 00:24:56
    a snippet of something on Pinterest with
  • 00:24:57
    the link to the original video that's
  • 00:24:59
    super helpful I know a lot of people
  • 00:25:01
    have seen growth that way people even
  • 00:25:02
    make money off of Pinterest which is
  • 00:25:04
    insane my biggest tip is to focus on
  • 00:25:07
    community and by this I mean maybe don't
  • 00:25:10
    try to be a superstar try to be a best
  • 00:25:13
    friend and this is the approach that I
  • 00:25:15
    take to you guys not even from trying
  • 00:25:17
    but just naturally because this is how I
  • 00:25:18
    feel towards you I prefer the best
  • 00:25:21
    friend approach or the big sister
  • 00:25:22
    approach with you guys because I like
  • 00:25:24
    feeling like we are all just a bunch of
  • 00:25:26
    best friends like that's how I feel and
  • 00:25:27
    I want my my page to be a safe space
  • 00:25:30
    when people come here and they want to
  • 00:25:32
    watch something relatable or ask me for
  • 00:25:34
    advice and I want to give you guys
  • 00:25:35
    advice and listen about your days you
  • 00:25:37
    know things like that I prefer that so
  • 00:25:39
    much more so some ways to create
  • 00:25:40
    Community obviously being super
  • 00:25:41
    personable but responding and talking to
  • 00:25:44
    your audience in your community is huge
  • 00:25:47
    I love messaging you guys I love
  • 00:25:49
    replying to your comments even though I
  • 00:25:50
    might be a little bit behind sometimes I
  • 00:25:52
    try my best and also if you guys are
  • 00:25:54
    trying to grow engagement on your page
  • 00:25:57
    respond to comments and even comment on
  • 00:25:59
    other people's posts like other people's
  • 00:26:01
    things and similar um niches things like
  • 00:26:03
    that I know that the algorithm again
  • 00:26:05
    really prefers this for some reason so
  • 00:26:07
    take time to talk to people also
  • 00:26:09
    Instagram has the broadcast channels
  • 00:26:11
    where you can create a group chat this
  • 00:26:13
    is huge it gives kind of like a more
  • 00:26:16
    exclusive intimate Vibe I love our
  • 00:26:18
    little group chat that we have over
  • 00:26:20
    there also um doing polls or question
  • 00:26:23
    boxes things like that just making sure
  • 00:26:25
    people feel like you are actually a
  • 00:26:27
    person and that they have a say in
  • 00:26:29
    responding to your content I think that
  • 00:26:31
    is huge in creating community and
  • 00:26:33
    Community is just such a more
  • 00:26:35
    sustainable approach you know going
  • 00:26:37
    viral sure is great the numbers look
  • 00:26:39
    great but who is going to be there for
  • 00:26:42
    them when they're flopping nobody now
  • 00:26:44
    lastly when it comes to making money off
  • 00:26:46
    of social media so there are a lot of
  • 00:26:48
    ways to do this I've made money off of
  • 00:26:51
    almost all platforms except for
  • 00:26:52
    Pinterest and threads and Facebook but
  • 00:26:55
    all the main ones the Trinity YouTube
  • 00:26:57
    Tik Tok and Instagram I've made money
  • 00:26:59
    off of I highly suggest um joining the
  • 00:27:02
    YouTube program Guys YouTube is amazing
  • 00:27:04
    don't sleep on YouTube I love it um same
  • 00:27:07
    thing with Instagram they did a reals
  • 00:27:10
    program but again don't do it for money
  • 00:27:12
    is what I'm saying but if you are
  • 00:27:13
    looking to become an official content
  • 00:27:16
    creator or micro influencer you need to
  • 00:27:18
    reach out to Brands because when it
  • 00:27:21
    comes to working with the apps on their
  • 00:27:23
    creator programs or their creative funds
  • 00:27:25
    those are so finicky sometimes you can
  • 00:27:27
    make thousands of and sometimes you will
  • 00:27:29
    make zero the best way to make a
  • 00:27:32
    sustainable income if you want this to
  • 00:27:33
    be your full-time thing reach out to
  • 00:27:36
    Brands know your worth know what your
  • 00:27:38
    rat should be okay do not let any Brands
  • 00:27:40
    lowball you because there are ones out
  • 00:27:42
    there who will ask for ridiculously low
  • 00:27:45
    amounts do not fall for that okay talk
  • 00:27:47
    to somebody look at all your contracts a
  • 00:27:49
    huge thing that you need to do make a
  • 00:27:51
    Media Kit in a Media Kit I make mine in
  • 00:27:53
    canva again skillshare would be great
  • 00:27:55
    for this I make mine in canva and you
  • 00:27:57
    just want to put you know your analytics
  • 00:27:59
    all that stuff you want to learn how to
  • 00:28:00
    find that put your demographic what
  • 00:28:02
    countries are your followers from what
  • 00:28:04
    ages are they that's really important to
  • 00:28:06
    Brands to look at as well all of these
  • 00:28:08
    things you just want to make it nice to
  • 00:28:10
    the point why should Brands work for you
  • 00:28:12
    who are you as a person what's your
  • 00:28:14
    mission statement right have that all on
  • 00:28:17
    a document so that way you can just Mass
  • 00:28:19
    send this to Brands and have it hi my
  • 00:28:21
    name is Brianna Gomez I'm a content
  • 00:28:22
    creator I do this kind of content blah
  • 00:28:24
    blah blah you should work with me
  • 00:28:25
    because why you have to remember these
  • 00:28:27
    brands have thousands of influencers
  • 00:28:31
    reaching out to them every single day
  • 00:28:33
    why would they pick you and then again
  • 00:28:34
    don't doubt yourself never be like I
  • 00:28:36
    feel like this brand doesn't want to
  • 00:28:37
    work with me put yourself out there
  • 00:28:39
    because you never know who will respond
  • 00:28:41
    in the past years I have worked with
  • 00:28:43
    some brands that I would have never
  • 00:28:45
    dreamed of working with right but just
  • 00:28:47
    throw yourself out there and be on top
  • 00:28:49
    of your email make a professional email
  • 00:28:51
    closing I have mine like Brianna Gomez
  • 00:28:53
    content creator Fashion Beauty lifestyle
  • 00:28:55
    whatever you can also look into
  • 00:28:56
    management that's a whole other thing
  • 00:28:58
    that if you guys want a part two to more
  • 00:29:00
    official things of this video I could
  • 00:29:02
    definitely get into that also don't
  • 00:29:03
    collaborate with brands that don't align
  • 00:29:06
    with your content so what I mean by this
  • 00:29:08
    is like I've had like I think like Vape
  • 00:29:10
    Brands reach out to me to collaborate or
  • 00:29:12
    like just some weird ones there's some
  • 00:29:14
    weird ones out there I had dating app
  • 00:29:15
    Brands who were offering me a lot of
  • 00:29:17
    money but you have to decide you know in
  • 00:29:19
    the overall grand scheme of things does
  • 00:29:21
    this align with what I want my platform
  • 00:29:23
    to be about no and no dollar amount can
  • 00:29:27
    take that away from you so just make
  • 00:29:28
    sure you are focusing on that and make
  • 00:29:30
    sure you're staying true to yourself and
  • 00:29:31
    your content and your overall message
  • 00:29:33
    behind it and lastly it is okay to take
  • 00:29:37
    breaks I know consistency is a major
  • 00:29:39
    theme when it comes to becoming a
  • 00:29:41
    successful content creator but also you
  • 00:29:43
    can get burnt out I went through a major
  • 00:29:45
    burnout phase and this was when I was
  • 00:29:47
    struggling with that almost identity
  • 00:29:48
    crisis of I don't want to do fashion but
  • 00:29:50
    I'm scared that if I don't do it people
  • 00:29:52
    won't like it blah blah blah and then I
  • 00:29:53
    got burnt out and then I took month's
  • 00:29:55
    break from social media and I thought
  • 00:29:57
    like like oh my gosh I'll never bounce
  • 00:29:59
    back from this I'm actually fine I'm
  • 00:30:02
    actually fine and I'm here and I'm so
  • 00:30:03
    much more re-inspired and this is such a
  • 00:30:06
    new different side to me that I was not
  • 00:30:08
    showing on the internet before and I
  • 00:30:10
    prefer this side so much better so
  • 00:30:13
    sometimes you know it could be scary
  • 00:30:14
    like oh my gosh like my content's
  • 00:30:15
    lacking I can't miss out but I'm so
  • 00:30:17
    overwhelmed it's okay if you need to
  • 00:30:19
    take a break and don't be afraid to be
  • 00:30:21
    transparent with your followers
  • 00:30:22
    obviously sometimes if a Situation's
  • 00:30:24
    vulnerable maybe you don't want to post
  • 00:30:26
    it online so you have to pick and choose
  • 00:30:28
    with your best discretion with that but
  • 00:30:30
