BLOGGERS ARE HARDWIRED TO DO HARDWORK

 


 Content Creators often begin as Freelancers or Junior Content Creators, honing their craft and building a portfolio. With experience, they may become Content Specialists, focusing on a niche or medium, and start strategizing content for brands.

I heard people saying that you don't necessarily need special skills or training to become a successful content creator. If you can consistently produce content, and share your ideas in a fun and engaging way, you will succeed and may even become many people's favorite creator, too!

But….

It's common knowledge that content creation can be an immensely rewarding career. However, what's less commonly known is how much strategy, hard work, and resilience are required to reap those rewards.

Blogger/content creator:

So, what is a blogger—at its core, a blogger is an online content creator who uses their platform to share their thoughts, experiences, and expertise on a specific topic or niche. They craft articles that resonate with their audience.

Blogging tends to be more conversational and informal, while content writing is often more professional and formal. In blog writing, the tone is usually more casual and relaxed. The author may use humor, anecdotes, and personal stories to engage the reader. The language is often simple and easy to understand.

Bloggers often emphasize personal narratives and opinions in written form, fostering intimate connections with readers. At the same time, content creators leverage diverse mediums such as videos, podcasts, and social media to engage viewers across multiple platforms.

How much hard work?

There’s a lot to do. Depending on your platforms of choice you'll have various administrative tasks that go alongside posting your content too. Time and effort will have to be given to researching keywords, learning new tools, and handling the business side of things.

The hardest part about blogging is finding the time and ideas you'll need to do it consistently. Getting started, however, is fairly straightforward.

Blogging is pure hard work, with a 0% guarantee of instant success. It is rather a time-consuming and persistent job that requires at least 3 to 5 years, to even make you exist significantly among other already famous fellow bloggers.

The time it takes to regularly work on a blog depends on several factors. Writing blog posts, doing research, promoting content – all these take at least 5 hours per week, often more.

Successful content creators understand the importance of exercising their writing muscles, even if they're not bloggers or writers by focus. Doing so helps flesh out ideas and identify nuggets that could come to fruition later. It is also needed for creating video scripts, podcast notes, and snappy post captions.

As a far-reaching field, content creator responsibilities can vary greatly, but they're likely to include some or all of the following: Writing, editing, blogging, and updating content for everything from brochures and marketing and promotional materials to emails, websites, blogs, and more.

So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride — blogging is hard, but with the right mindset and approach, it's also incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. The one thing that I found in every seasoned blogger's tips is to find your niche topic or topics at the beginning of your Blogging Journey.

I’m still struggling to make a mark in this chosen field of blogging. With persistent hard work, my blog turns 8 today.

Wish me luck!
