The past month I’ve been focusing on transitioning into creating content for brands and it’s been going great. I got a few more companies to start making short and long form content for and currently waiting for some new items to get to me. A few items in most excited about is new accessories for filmmaking, a wireless lav set from a popular tech company and a Floridian based food product that looks tasty and fun.
Sidebar - My first partnership just shared couple of my vids to their following of ~10K and A few creators I’ve been following for some years, interacted with the post, which I thought was pretty dope.
Definitely encouraging me to be consistent and actively creating to keep the momentum going.
I thought this was a field only reserved for influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers but it’s not the case🤷🏽♂️ Hardest part is working around my client based work of websites, filming, SEO, podcasting etc. but this is something I’m passionate about so I’m making time to make it happen. No excuses!
Having a couple thousand followers provides higher levels of engagement and if you’re like me, you don’t add every single person you see just to get that number up.
Personally, I’ve been building a social community with a 70/30 rule - 70% are creators and artists while 30% are people I know or grew up with to ensure the posts I create, reach my intended audience.
Wanted to take a moment to share some insight into UGC and my experience creating it.
Special thanks to Ian for being in my corner. Crazy part is - I was his mentor for years and now he is mine💪🏽Goes to show just because you teach someone doesn’t mean you can’t learn from them! 💯
This is my Ted Talk for the day! 🤣🫡hope you enjoyed it, it motivates you and you get inspired to chase your dreams💭- no matter what they may be
Just realized it’s Monday…. Am I the only person who thinks the weekend is always happening? 🥰It just feels like it I guess
