Content Creation - SOS for a new creator! Please give this a read, thank you! :)

Hi Contentpreneurship community,

I trust you are all well!

My name is Ben, I'm 26 years old and from London, Essex. I joined the community about a month ago and have taken the leap to stop waiting time and begin my journey into the online world of digital content and see where this journey takes me!

A bit of background on what has led me to taking the leap into this new and unknown world...

I've worked across a few facets of Investment and Finance for the best part of 9 years. Before focusing on a career that was driven by financial gain than a passion, I used to dance and perform in the creative arts! After attending college for a year and auditioning for private college, I began to lose the drive and commitment I had for dance as a career that had carried me through my school years up until I left and moved into Finance from the ages of 12 to 18.

Fast forward to age 23, I had an experience that opened my mind to a world outside of this 3D reality we all live in and it had such an impact on me, I committed myself (to varying degree's of commitment up to last year September) to learning more about the spiritual side of life. This came in many forms over this period but last year September was the big turning point. I did a 30-day fruit cleanse and it changed my life as I'd experienced a state of happiness I did not know was possible.

My journey in life since then has been nothing short of a rebirth. It's completely changed my world/life perspective and taken me on a turbulent, beautiful journey of self-discovery which, in turn, has gifted me a new found confidence to share my thoughts, perceptions and insights with the world, and generally spread some love and good energy, that leads me to where I am today! 😁

Content Creation...

When I started looking at content creation, I wanted to take it down a course path but I do not feel at this time this is right for me as the content I wish to create isn't something I believe people should pay for as it's ultimately just me being me and doing what I do. If that changes in the future, I'm open to it but right now, the focus of my being in this community is to gain knowledge from the success stories of this group in order to start building and engaging with the world on what I create! So... what this post is all about is where to start! Do you guys have any tips to starting out online? I've created both an IG and TikTok page for my online content (yet to start posting), but are there any recommendations to get the ball rolling?

I know there are a million and one ways to research this very generic and broad topic so please do not think I'm being lazy, I am taking advantage of all of those channels as I study and I'm ready to start posting but also want to get your very beneficial insights on this too! Feel free to private message me too, I'd be happy to speak to anyone willing to help!

Have a wonderful day/week all, thank you for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to engaging with you guys soon!

Love and light,

Ben x
