WORKING AS A CONTENT CREATOR!

People think to work as a creator is easy, you just put the camera on with some lights, slam everything on an editing software and voilà… count the subscribers, likes, shares & sure money (yes if you are not doing it for the last one, you’re deluding yourself).

But the truth is, if you didn’t create something every-single-day, they’re going to forget you. Not because you don’t matter, but because there are thousands like you & much better than you.

Creating 4 Forms of content for YouTube.

Creating 4 Forms of content for instagram.

Creating 4 Forms of content for Facebook.

Creating 2 Forms of content for TikTok.

So you need a minimum of 4 good ideas everyday to keep up & get watched or even noticed (if you just started).

All this coming with a lot of reading, learning & hours of editing, despite how you feel or the situation you are in.

It’s a simple prescription to burnout in no-time. And when you do… you are gone! And not just gone, the chance of coming back is so small.

Do not compare yourself with some famous creator, who got someone to research, another to write, one to edit his content & all what he’s doing is showing his face to you, because he already went through all the first stages of frustration, desperation & even burning out at some stages, but they simply kept going until they reached the moment of getting 20k views in the 1st minute.

This post is a message to myself, to not give up.

To you, so you keep going.

To the people who don’t have any idea what the F**k is goin on!

Have a good day.
