The creator economy is the future. Your ability to gather a community and the skills you developed will be far more important than the diploma you have. The powerful humans in the 21st century would be those who have the biggest platform. The creator economy is becoming a huge business. To be part of this future , you will need to build a community and to find your 1000 true fans.

First of all, you need to find what you’re best at or what you want to learn. That’s particularly hard to change the content you provide to your followers. If they follow you for your cooking video , they will be really disappointed if you replace that by meditation content. So found something you love and stick with it. You need to have a clear map about what you want to achieve. Choose the good platform according to what you’re trying to do.

TikTok , Instagram , Only Fans

I think that TikTok is the best platform to becoming viral. However the TikTok followers don’t count so much. So you need to transfer them to a more followers friendly platform like Instagram. Where they will daily see the content you provide. On TikTok people are mostly not watching their following because the main feed is so good.

Tiktok is the best platform if you are a good actor or a good dancer. The main way to becoming viral on TikTok is to copy trends . The original content isn’t a plus . However you need to be really good at copying content ( dance and act ) . If you’re pretty or at least physically different that’s also a plus because people will notice you more easily.

On your way to create your community , you need Instagram. Because with Instagram , you will be able to be a part of your fans every day ( story and publication). Instagram is also the way brands will connect with you and your passport toward other people platforms.

On TikTok you will become viral , on Instagram you will make your community grow. However being famous to be famous don’t have any sense. If your goal is to earn a lot of money quickly , Only Fans , MYM are made for you.

If you want to build your story and your character , Youtube is better because you will be able to post longer content and earns more money.

And if you just want to be famous , transfer your Insta followers toward other platforms Snapchat , Twitter , etc.

Insta , Youtube and Tiktok

It’s more difficult to become famous with Instagram because people are mostly looking on accounts they already follow. However if you’re a pretty girl , you can go to the baddies girl accounts and win followers like that. That’s one of the best ways to win up to 10 000–20 000 followers. More nearly impossible.

There are two options to continue to grow.

You can use your 10 000 followers to do collaboration with people with big platform.

And then launch your Youtube channel , and create the content you want. Here’s the catch if people follow you because you’re pretty that will be hard to transfer an audience toward Youtube with religious video. You need to find something that talk to your community.

TikTok become just a way to promote your YouTube content , trying to make viral video with extract of your Youtube Video.

Twitter is a really good way to grow a community if you’re a pretty girl because there are mostly men on it. Even more if you’re on trade , crypto , NFT stuff. You will have immediate success.

I personally choose twitter because of my goal if you have a professional project involving serious thematic (economy , politics , crypto , stocks ). Twitter is the best platform. The retweet button and the comments features help you to be known. Twitter is a great way to become famous. However it isn’t enough to build a successful business or share your more complex idea.

So my idea is to use twitter like a way to attract people and to then redirect them toward Medium , and Youtube , Callin.

Medium is the best platform if you want to create your own blog. Youtube and Callin are great platforms to create your podcast.

To summarize : if you want to create thoughtful content , the longer content form is the only way. However that’s really hard to create following with long content. So you need another platform to attract people.

Never forget that you need to create more value than you take. So please, invest only in building a community and don’t accept quick money with shitty partnership.
