1.                Are you a YouTuber?

The idea of becoming a YouTuber could be daunting. That's probably because the YouTube content you're consuming right now originates from the biggest YouTubers on the planet or known media companies like Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. How are you supposed to compete with them? But if you investigate million-subscriber YouTubers closely, you'll find they're just like normal people, like you and me. They don't have Hollywood faces or the physique of a Calvin Klein model. The skills needed for YouTube success can be learned and taught. You don't need crazy editing skills or superb storytelling techniques to start; most people hang out on YouTube to hear a funny story, enjoy good music, and hear some jokes.

You can consider becoming a YouTuber if:

• You're passionate about one or two topics or can speak to them as you engage in a conversation with your friends (like how to grow a big pumpkin or fix a motorcycle of a certain model).
• You're open to learning editing skills, even if you have the budget to hire an editor.
• You're committed to maintaining a consistent content output. Remember, only use permitted music on YouTube.

 

2.                Are you a TikTok creator?

TikTok has become a worldwide phenomenon because it captures the essence of internet culture in a bite-sized format. People seek instant gratification for their hunger for excitement on TikTok. Unlike YouTube, where you have some time to warm viewers up, you need to give TikTok viewers immediate pleasure and bursts of joy from the first second on.

If you do have the physiques of a CK model, or you have an above-average-looking face, you already have some advantages. Viewers are always interested in the POVs of attractive people. But if you don’t - which applies to 99% of TikTok creators - you can still be a TikTok Creator if you:

• Are acutely aware of what is happening on the internet and in real life and can form your POV.
• Are interested in telling your story. Aspects of your life or job that seem mundane or unremarkable to you could trigger interest in others (a day in the life of a physics student, fixing motorcycles, etc.).
• Are very, very funny and can craft witty lines.
• Are (somewhat) good at playing an instrument, singing, or dancing.

That said, although TikTok seems easy to get started and less daunting than YouTube, it requires a sharp acumen to play the long game.

 

3.                Are you an Instagram influencer?

Instagram stands as a visually rich platform where businesses and people are establishing their branding. It is where high-quality photos and engaging stories come together, giving a narrative about one’s life, interests, and passion. While it may seem easy to kickstart by posting a photo or two, Instagram, unlike TikTok or YouTube, requires creators to have some level of personal branding in place to attract followers. For instance, being a guest on a Netflix reality show, a Peloton fitness instructor, or an established YouTuber can provide initial visibility to jumpstart and scale later.

If you are thinking about establishing a personal brand through Instagram, it is challenging, but if you possess some qualities, you should consider it:

• You live an interesting life to most people and can demonstrate it with pleasing visuals.
• You have some sort of passion in life like bodybuilding, guitar shredding, or makeup which can be shown in a very compelling and scroll-stopping way.
• You have an interesting POV on breaking events that can be expressed in still image format.

 

4.                Are you a podcaster?

In the author’s opinion, podcasting is the most challenging arena. While certain people possess a natural talent to excel, for the most part, the qualities and traits to thrive on podcasts are less straightforward. Unlike visual platforms, where charisma and personality can be conveyed through images and videos, podcasters can only rely on their own voices (and leverage podcast background music) to captivate audiences.

Consider being a podcaster if you have:

• Exceptional storytelling skills, interview skills, and listening skills. Many podcasts thrive on conversations, therefore it is key to asking insightful questions and controlling the rhythm as a podcast host. Without imagery to keep audiences entertained, storytelling skills are crucial.
• Deep knowledge of the niche. Podcasters should have a strong background in the chosen topics cultivated by years of input, and they should be able to navigate adjacent fields quickly.
• Technical proficiency in audio recording and editing. Not all podcasters start savvy in the technical aspects, but professional-sounding content is a must in the long run.
• Access to a network of guest speakers. A well-established network is also important to keep audiences engaged.

 

5.                Are you a LinkedIn influencer?

Of all the influencers, LinkedIn Influencer is arguably the most accessible to enter. Nowadays, LinkedIn has the reputation of showing a feed of LinkedIn influencers being reciprocal, but LinkedIn has a real group of people who are always looking for inspirations for work and life. Similar to Twitter/X, LinkedIn emphasizes text-based content, and people are primarily interested in your POV and past experiences. People are less concerned about your appearance or lifestyle, and oversharing those aspects can yield negative repercussions.

You can be a LinkedIn influencer if you:

• Have or had a job in business-related fields.
• Are somewhat good at what you do and have a passion to share.
• Stay updated on the latest trends in your field.

 

6.                Are you a blogger?

Blogging is not dead (otherwise, what are we doing here?). If you feel like writing is your strongest suit and you enjoy articulating thoughts, ideas, or narrating stories in text format, then blogging might just be the perfect medium for you. In an age dominated by video and image-based content, blogs offer a refreshing depth and introspection that can deeply resonate with readers seeking substance over style. Through blogging, you have the opportunity to explore topics in depth, share expertise, and engage with a community of readers who value the written word. Besides, there are a lot of mediums to become a writer, such as Medium, Substack, Linkedin Articles, etc.

Consider blogging if you:

• Can write compelling pieces before the existence of ChatGPT.
• Have deep reflections on life, relationships, or specialized technical knowledge that you are willing to share.

Becoming a content creator is never an easy journey, regardless of the platform you choose. No matter which battlefield you select, consistency and resilience will be your most crucial traits.
