CONTENT CREATOR TAG

Hello Hive friends, how are you? I must admit that I was very excited to see this initiative from @cami.rojas and I couldn't help but participate. The truth is that most of these questions are topics I've been wanting to talk about for a long time and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I love sharing my experiences as a Content Creator, especially when they can help others....So let's get started!

I even recently did a post talking about it (I leave you the link here) in which I said that planning your content ensures consistency and helps you fight creative block.

Of course, I also allow myself to be spontaneous sometimes, when I see a contest, an initiative or when I suddenly have an idea. For example, this post was not planned but I wanted to be spontaneous and publish it.

At first I thought my specialty on the platform would be photography and poetry, then I thought it would be movie reviews, then music, then I started on digital art and AHHHH! My blog is a mess guys, I'm a mess. But all those topics make me happy and I can't decide on just one leaving the others aside. I'm a happy multipotential person and I can't stay in one space, I enjoy being a free spirit. So forgive me for not having a niche, I prefer to be happy talking about what I love.

It's a bit of a difficult question that I had never thought of before. I don't know if there would be any limits, really. I don't think I would do comedic content or talking about show business, I don't know. I don't think that's not for me.

My mistake as a creator has been to let myself get carried away by my moods and allow that to affect my consistency. Now I try to force myself to create even on not so good days, and I try to do it as personal therapy.

In the creative realm I have dared to do new things that I didn't do before, like makeup artistry for Makeup Power. I went so far as to make myself up as Moana, do a Joker makeup and even transform myself into a Greek Goddess.

On a personal level it taught me to be much more organized and to set personal deadlines that make me a little more disciplined.

On the emotional level it helped me to keep busy in my worst moments and to give me a purpose every day when loneliness and confinement was killing me.

And finally on the financial front it helped me a lot to start working towards my financial independence, and although my parents still support my expenses my Hive income has allowed me to afford things without being a financial burden to my parents. With my Hive income I have been able to afford two trainings that have honestly changed my life and that I would not have been able to afford without Hive: My Musical Theater academy (A world I just discovered and love completely) and recently a Graphic Design training with Crehana. Both of these things very much define my plans for the future.

It is true that it is quite difficult to be original in 2021. With social networks, it seems that all your ideas have been had by someone else and in a better way. But many times it's not about being THE FIRST, nor about being THE BEST. I think more than anything else it's about being YOU.

I believe that when we put our personal stamp on things, it becomes something new, unique and original.

It's all about knowing when I'm improving.

This is something I struggle with constantly, and it's a danger because it can make you defect. I love creating content and I'm going to do it whether I get 1 like or 10,000, whether I have 1 follower or 500,000. But sometimes it's hard for me not to lose focus of my motivation.

So you already know! Stay tuned for what's coming...

And well, so much for my participation in this initiative that I've loved, thank you so much for having made it this far! And many thanks to @cami.rojas for having brought this initiative...

See you in a future post!
