How did i become a popular creator? A Self Journey and Real Stuff that worked

So uh yeah over the last three months I've had 14 videos cross roughly like 500K views, a few of them even hit 2M!!!.

Here is stuff that i'd probably like to share with you guys

Stop debating whether to post, just post.

When you start out you have no idea what works. That's fine. Nobody does. I had 0 idea what to post but posted out whatever i felt like maybe someone would have similar humor or feelings as me!!! So just post a lot. It's okay if its not up to the mark. Nobody is watching yet and the ones who are don't matter. Atleast make a move!

Once you start to get what's actually getting any traction in your niche or whatever you are posting about, then slow down and put more effort into each one. It's not a switch you flip, it's a slow shift. I used this app called Social Hunt for a bit to figure out what topics and formats are becoming popular before they peak, so I'm not just putting anything. I also remember using vidIQ for great insights for what i should imporve and a great tool called Tikmatics for catching TikTok audio trends before they got popular. But honestly none of that matters if you're not posting consistently first which I did . So yeah thats the main thing .

Relax. It's literally just numbers on a screen.

Our mindset is litterally everything. You can know every trick and still lose if you let the numbers hurt your feelings. And they will try. A video will flop and it WILL feel personal. It's not guys , it happens to all of us and has happened before.

Social media will beat you up. Especially early. Expect it. The only people who grow are the ones who keep going after getting punched in the face a few times. Make getting better the goal, not the numbers. I see so many popular creators who used to struggle with like 100, 57, 130 , 29 views on youtube shorts instagram . Even if i scrolled down today on them they would still show those low numbers.

Expect this to take two or three years EASILY. Expect it to be harder than you think. Expect plateaus that genuinely hurt. Keep going anyway. You don't need to look at the past or feel bad about today , be yourself!

Learn to tell stories. Be interesting. Make people feel something.

Doesn't matter how good your research is or how early you catch a trend if your content is boring. Learn to be charismatic on camera. Learn to entertain. Give yourself time to develop the skill but actually develop it. Like i am doing today!

That's it. Go post something!!

This is actually one of the more honest takes I’ve seen.

The part people skip is that shift you mentioned. Early on it’s just volume, later it’s refinement. A lot of people either stay stuck in random posting or overthink before they’ve even learned anything.

Also agree on mindset. Most people don’t quit because they can’t do it, they quit because they can’t handle the inconsistency.

The only thing I’d add is that once something works, really double down on it instead of chasing new ideas too fast. That’s where a lot of growth actually comes from.

i helped him go from a few thousand views to 100k+. now he hates what we make.

i help a guy with his content, and lately i feel weird taking any credit for the numbers. he makes beautiful short videos, properly shot, with a lot of thought behind the lighting and the edit. those usually get a few thousand views. his work needs the reach, so i suggested trying some of what's already working. copying trending concepts and formats, adapting them to his style, using trending audio. those started clearing 100k, some way past that. it kept happening, and eventually “let’s try a few” turned into most of what we make. when we first started working together, we'd spend our conversations talking about shots, where the light would be, how long to hold on something. now we're mostly talking about whether a trend is still alive and if we can get ours posted in time. he told me he feels like he's losing a little piece of his soul for views. i didnt really know what to say because i'm the one who encouraged it, and the reason i gave him still holds up: more people are seeing his work. except i'm starting to wonder what that's worth if the work they're seeing is stuff he doesn't want to make. i don't think the trend videos are beneath him or that being proud of something means it deserves 100k views. but we went into this thinking the trend stuff would bring enough attention to support the work he actually cared about. instead, every time we plan one of his original ideas, we're comparing it to what following a trend could do, and it gets harder to justify spending the time. for people who manage accounts for a living, have you actually made that balance work? i'm interested in how you decide what gets made when the stuff your client loves consistently gets a fraction of the views. we said we'd keep doing both, but that hasn't meant much in practice.

Benifits of not using smartphone

I am(21M) we are 4 members in my family my younger sister and my parents . My mom runs a small shop and my father too. We all have smartphones except my mom. Over 5 years we are using phones. But my don't have a smartphone or any phone she doesn't even know how to use it. At the night when father comes home and she too then she watch some serial in phone. I noticed she is more happier than 3 of us. She is extremely focused on her work and doesn't complain for anything and handle all the situation very wisely. She knows the real world and not influenced by the fake social media world.

Deleting all social media, best decision ever

No you cannot keep up with me, you will not know anything about my life or see updates with my appearance. I used to have a little following and after Covid maybe 2023 I had a realization about family & “friends” when I would take breaks they would say “You haven’t posted in a while” or they would question why I deleted or temporarily deleted profiles. But I noticed we barely had conversations on phone or texting… just them watching me online. Now I am permanently gone there is no photos of me on the internet if you want to see me or talk to me you will have to call me or reach out in some way.l or be reciprocal when I reach out. I am not an image on the internet I am a human being with a beating heart. Also after receiving stalking or weird jealousy about photos even though my whole life I was told because of my height and “ beauty” that I should be a model but once I tried it made people call me conceited or XYZ, like no…all of you guys overly talk about my appearance since I was a child constantly so I tried to do what everyone said my whole life and all it did was cause a rift due to me receiving attention. I don’t want internet fame or to be observed online. Something else is I had this happen a few times where men would take my innocent selfies NO CLEAVEDGE NO SKIN showing and I would be the green screen and them videoing themselves jacking off to me. All of social media is disturbing it makes people compare themselves and be weird and perverted that’s all. 3 years no social media 💪 join the wave

Why am I using 5 different tools to manage social media?

Maybe this is just me, but my social media workflow currently looks something like: ChatGPT → content ideas Canva → design Scheduler → publishing Analytics tool → reporting Inbox → replies Spreadsheet → planning And then I'm somehow supposed to call this an "efficient workflow"😂 I'm curious if anyone has actually found a social media management tool that brings more of this together. Especially now that Al tools are becoming more capable. Would you rather have one platform that can actually execute tasks, or do you prefer having separate best-in-class tools?
