What is a content creator? Wondering how to be a content creator for trending social media platforms? Follow along to learn the path to becoming an content creator!
Take some time to come up with ideas for content and decide what your style will be. Consider your interests and what you already know about the topic you want to create content around. Think about the topics that you are passionate about, and the particular angle you want to take with your content.
Once you have an idea, research it thoroughly. Gather all the relevant information you need to create compelling content. Make sure you understand the topic and get an in-depth understanding of it.
Create an outline of how you want to structure your content. This will help you stay on track and make sure you cover all the points you want to include.
Start writing your content. Make sure you include relevant examples and stories to make it engaging and relatable. Once you have finished writing your content, go through it again and edit it for any errors. Think critically about how it sounds, and get sample feedback on your content.
Once you have finished editing your content, it’s time to begin creating. Break out and setup your gear according to the manufacturers instructions. Whether it is a camera, microphone, or other gear, it is important to test your setup for the best captures possible. We have other articles on perfect setups but just know that the actual recording is what gets presented to your audience and is only a small portion of your actual work.
Once you have recorded your content, you will likely spend much more time on editing that content. Refer to our posts on editing audio, video, and other media but expect perfection to take effort. If you do not perform this step, you may find content underperforms.
Once your content has been edited and reviewed multiple times, post it on social media and your website. Promote your content on different platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, and Facebook.
Reach out to other content creators and build relationships with them. This will help you get more exposure and reach more people. Contact creators that are “smaller” than you matter just as much as those that are “larger”.
Use analytics tools to track the performance of your content. This will help you understand what works and what doesn’t. Don’t forget to use tools like Google Search Trends for publicly available data.
Keep learning and keep creating content. This will help you become a better content creator and reach more people. Keep in mind that things relevant to the global conversation are more likely to receive engagement, but don’t ride the coattails of popularity. Keep your style, but stay relevant.
