creating daily
If you’re looking to become a content Creator, there is actually tons of research that has to go into your creation process. That research might be in the form of actually consuming other account’s content. It’s actually contrary to what many believe, in where we’re presented as creatives that create effortlessly.
And creations don’t have to have a complex theme to each one that’s made. Some of what you make will be something as simple as a “good morning” message. The misconception most people have is that they have to start off making stunningly high budget productions. That’s just not the case.
It’s not uncommon to find people that get their start on social media. If you’re planning on creating solely through that medium, you should have a routine of posting no more than several times a day. Specifically, no more than five, less than 10 for even more clarity. There’s an element of social media that can be an advantage, and that’s anticipation. Let your post marinate and be appreciated for the next drop to hold even more meaning.
You might be interested in finding out if posting every day applies to all platforms. It doesn’t. Specifically website creation comes to mind first. Most websites function off the assistance of articles. When they’re made to be of quality and go through the process of what the goal is that’s usually to have them appear in search results so people can actually find the information being put out.
That can take days or even weeks at a time. With that in mind it should remind that it doesn’t have to be a daily thing for it to be considered progress. Same goes for a platform like YouTube where you don’t always post every day.
Best practices for creating every day in terms of the content information, it should have a theme that’s instantly recognizable, that’s what makes finding your information organically much easier. However, you can, and probably should start off sharing information that is a little different from what your main focus would be. That way you add personality to your face if you’re not functioning as a brand particularly.
Final Thoughts
Shifting from consumer to creator first starts with a desire to create at some point.
You have to be aware of the difference between taking and giving.
Choosing to be a consumer is understanding that you’re being entertained instead of entertaining.
The shift happens when we decide to gain something from sharing instead of receiving to give back later.
It’s really putting a people first mentality. Not only that, but doing with expectations of making a living from it.
