So I think this sort of like tool existing, to be able to normal person have a computer at home and be able to connect and do things on the internet was it really changed a lot of things in pop culture at that time.I would say the most important thing is, before you even get on there, sort of have a vision of what your video content is going to be. The worst thing I think I see people do is they basically like copy videos from other people try to make it them themselves.I think when you get out of your head about what everyone else is doing, and is think about what a tool is, at its core, that's when a lot of people sort of find the freedom to come up with the best ideas on what they can create to that represents their brand.I feel like people start creating the content that's not good for them is when you start chasing when you either are making content because you are afraid or you feel guilty. Or because you think something you're making something because you think it's gonna get good numbers. And not because you think it's fun, or because you think it's good for your brand.Spend time not being about themselves. Dedicate time to be a part of a social community, not just to post and hope that people come to you like you have to, you have to be out there giving the engagement to other people that you want to be receiving.Always think about how do you want your brand to make people feel and in your video content, your social media content is an extension of that.I'm all about simplifying this stuff.
