The 10 Things I Wished I Knew
- The hard work, that goes into creating a post ,photo, Video. People tend to only see the finished product, but not the hard work it takes to get content out to the world.
- SEO it is some thing, I am still struggling with but I am learning it and understanding it.
- Wished I had learned web design, at least finally learned it and had that in my back pocket. This also goes for coding. This is not a requirement but it is good to have in your back pocket, it is an added skill.
- Be prepared for rejection from brand’s and company’s, some tend to say No.
- How expensive it is, especially if you venture into fashion or beauty blogging and blogging. Because you have to buy products from the brands you want to receive free products from before you start receiving them to review. Buying equipment like a camera, lights, Flat lay props and backgrounds. Although you can Strat vlogging by using your phone.
- Learn the basics of taking videos and photos of yourself and editing. Get comfortable being in front of the camera and doing it in public.
- Be prepared, for people
not to understand what your chosen career, it is because they won’t understand the world of being a digital content creator.
- Be prepared to be semi-broke, and struggling digital content creator, I am one, try to make money off affiliate programs, but no one is buying anything.
- Blogging has long hours. But so does any other career.
- Blogging is not glamorous, I am not always attending parties or events ( haven’t gotten an invite to some events). I spend 50% of my time in pajamas or sweatpants in my bedroom working and learning how to better my blog.
I hope these things, help you decide if you want to join the digital content creator world. And if I missed anything let me know in the comments below and don’t forget to share.
