How to discover your niche and make a living as a creator: Struggling to find your niche? You’re not alone. But instead of searching for a perfect niche, think of it as something you discover by doing. Here’s how: ✨ Follow your curiosity – What do you genuinely enjoy creating? Start there. ✨ Solve a problem – What questions are people asking that you can help with? Lean into that. ✨ Experiment & refine – Test different angles, formats, and styles. The more you create, the clearer your niche becomes.

Following trends to grow your audience? Here’s the problem: Trends come and go, but your brand lasts forever. How to build an audience and a brand that will stick around: 🔸 Be authentic: Your unique voice will resonate far more than imitation ever will. 🔸 Be helpful: Create content that offers real value to your audience. 🔸 Be Present: Respond to comments, build relationships, and foster trust. Forget trends—focus on authenticity and connection for long-term growth.

Think brand deals are the holy grail for creator monetization? Think again. Here’s the truth about brand partnerships: 🔸 Lack of creative control: Brands often dictate your content, limiting your creative freedom. 🔸 Inconsistent income: Sponsorships aren’t guaranteed, leaving you vulnerable to fluctuating earnings. 🔸 Ethical dilemmas: Promoting products you don’t truly believe in can damage your credibility and alienate your audience. The most successful creators build income streams they control—free from external constraints, and with long-term growth in mind.
