One of the most important things that come to mind when thinking about making your social media presence become a money-making resource is that you should not limit yourself to one platform alone. This is why most content creators are for example present on Instagram where do you announce their streams on Twitch and once they are done they post clips of their streams on YouTube. On top of that many people use TikTok to post highlights of their streams to reach a wider audience. Of course, many others choose to use Twitter as well to promote their new content or announce when they are going live. The idea when it comes to social media presence is to follow the people this is the best way to build a larger audience.
So as you can see there is a way to make money by simply creating content for social media. Although it might seem easy at first you need to remind yourself that it is after all a lot of work. Whether it is finding your niche and building upon it or constantly trying to reinvent yourself to reach wider audiences, the work is never truly done. You should also keep in mind that you don’t need a lot to get started. Do not get fooled by videos saying that you need this type of microphone or this expensive light to be able to make content. Most content creators started in their basements with cheap cameras and awful microphones making niche videos for a dedicated fan base. While many people think that the chances are one in a million to become the next big thing you need to understand that nowadays there is no one big thing there are a million medium-sized things. So don’t be afraid and get out there and create.
