One of the hardest things about starting out as a creator, is to figure out what to put your attention on. There are so many things to learn as a new influencer or content creator. It can feel overwhelming to navigate the world of content creation. Today, we're breaking down how to figure out what you should focus on as a creator.
Tip 1: Figure out what Creator Life Stage You’re On
Not every influencer is on the same chapter or page of their journey. There are creators just getting started and there are influencers who are more mature in their journey. No matter that stage you’re at, understanding where you’re at as a creator can help you determine what to focus on in 2022.
Here are the 4 Creator Life Stages:
Seed: As a seed, you’re a new influencer. You just started your TikTok, YouTube or Instagram.
Questions you’re asking as a Seed:
· Who am I as a brand?
· How do I take photos or videos?
· Do I like creating content?
Sprout: As a Sprout, you’re a new-ish influencer, but you’ve already started or established your social channel and platform like an Instagram, blog, or TikTok.
As a new-ish influencer, you understand the importance of hashtags and you’ve built up your audience. But you might be focused on learning the business side of the influencer industry.
