Do these these nine things to be a great content creator….
My team was made redundant 5 years ago — this included me too. I panicked about my future as I got a good salary as a manager and I was reluctant to let it go. This was when I could not sleep well [laughter] — with that uncomfortable feeling, I started thinking the next steps — I made a bold decision to leave the company right away — as part of that strategy, I started content creation — I made writing is my daily habit. Over the last 5 years, this tiny niche, #ContentCreation has made wonders in my life — I have been able to connect with many professionals and leaders globally, I am being interviewed by many multinationals, I have visited and delivered several speeches and training internationally, I managed to multiple my income and on top of everything, I have been able to help people around me. Let me share with you the top 9 tips that you must adopt ASAP — well, that is if you are ready to be comfortable with the uncomfortable — Content Creation
Be committed and do the best you can in the time you have:
Make content creation a daily priority. Until you make it a habit, keep doing — focus on tiny self-improvements daily — you will continuously self-improve to be your potential
The longer you do it, better you get
Content creation or anything else wont’t be instant — if you are do be a giant, you must keep doing — the longer you stay in the game, the better you become — Never give up — Resist the distractions that may come in various forms — be it negative feedback, low viewership, rejection, never let those distractions stop you.
Ignore those who don’t care about your success
No Opinion or one can harm you without your permission — before you listen to someones advice, remember, you are the driver, you are the decision maker, let others have their opinions — don’t give up just because others tell you crazy things.
Try new things and tweak the things:
Risk of failure may be high — You may fail terribly — but, remember, failure is a sign of progress — it’s a way of learning — re-frame the term failure as learning. Disrupt the norm and traditional mindset and ways of doing things.
Done is better than perfection:
You don’t have to be perfect to become a content creator — to start the process. Genuinely be ready to help people around you. Perfectionism is the enemy of execution and it’s a form of procrastination — get that out of your way — just try it daily.
Be generous:
Nothing feels better to help someone. just organize your-self and start offering tiny advises and insights basing your work, experiences and lessons learnt — More and more people will rally behind you when they see you are valuable.
You are a poor judge about yourself:
Don’t overthink, don’t judge your self too much — go ahead and share your insights. Someone out there will be benefited.
Plans are overrated:
Move in a direction and adjust on your way. It’s important that you are in the game day in day out — go out with your contents. Ensure, you have just enough planning than fixed plans — too much planning end up being a waste of time and energy — just do it with just enough planning.
What makes you weird, makes you wonderful:
Being different is a competitive advantage that you may optimally use in your strategy. The most successful people, leaders and content creators are the ones who think and work differently.
