Motivation for Creators

Hello readers,

How is everyone doing? Let me know in the comments! I’ve been blogging and creating positive disability awareness content for a while now. It’s been quite an experience with its ups and downs. I’ve seen a lot of creators share their tips and tricks with their audiences, so I thought I’d do the same. This list won’t include tutorials on how to make money because that’s not my goal. I choose to share my heart and my stories to make a small difference in the world. It’s that simple. What follows is a letter for every content creator out there, but it’s also a reminder for myself on days when I feel frustrated. I can look back at it and remind myself that I can keep going.

'Do everything in love. '1 Corinthians 16:14

To Whom It May Concern,

First of all, thank you for all that you create on whatever platform you choose. Creating anything is not easy. The page always starts off blank, and you can’t make the best video or podcast if you don’t press record first. You’ll spend hours perfecting and redoing your work, and not everyone is going to follow or subscribe to your content. You can’t make people read every word you write, no matter how much effort you put into it. The market is full of creators constantly battling for attention. You won’t always win, and you won’t always lose. Try not to take it personally. Even the best creators can’t get everyone to follow them, so it’s impossible for you to do the same or better. Haters are real; learn to ignore them. The block button can be your best friend. Help when you can, and step aside if you can’t. You will never make everyone happy all the time. Don’t forget to rest both physically and mentally. Turn off the microphone sometimes. Don’t open up the laptop every day. If a certain platform doesn’t work for you, don’t use it. It’s your creation, so do what works for you. This won’t work if you do it just for money; it has to come from your heart and soul. If you’re not having fun, then you’re not doing it right. Always be yourself; never be fake. People will notice sooner or later. I hope this helps you and reignites the fire inside you. Never let it go out. You might just be the light in someone’s day. Thank you for your time, have a wonderful day, and good luck with your creations. I’m always here to help fellow creators, so feel free to contact me anytime.
