Negative comments hurt but you have to develop thick skin if you want to grow

my approach to different types of negative comments:

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: "your audio quality is bad"
- respond: "thanks for the feedback, working on upgrading my mic"
- use it to improve

SUBJECTIVE OPINION: "your ...

I found my style by setting creative constraints

i decided early on:
- i'll never use clickbait titles
- i'll always show data/sources
- i'll keep videos under 10 minutes
- i'll use a specific color palette and music style

Those constraints became my signature style. People recognize my content ...

I work full time and built my brand to 8k followers over 18 months. It's hard but possible with the right systems

my schedule:
- wake up 6am, create content 6-7:30am before work (this is sacred time)
- lunch break: engage on social media, reply to comments (30 min)
- evenings: only 1-2 nights per ...

here's what helped me reframe it:
- you don't need to be the world's leading expert, you just need to be a few steps ahead of your audience ...

I’ve never shown my face and i have 85k followers across platforms so it's absolutely possible

faceless content can work if:
- your niche doesn't require personal connection (tutorials, educational content, some types of entertainment)
- your content quality is exceptional
- you find other ways to ...

Unpopular opinion: you don't need a unique angle, you just need to be better than everyone else

most content in every niche is mediocre. if you create genuinely helpful, well-researched, clearly explained content, you'll stand out automatically

Controversial take: you don't need to niche down as much as people say

I'm a "multipassionate creator" - i post about books, productivity, mental health, and lifestyle content. my follower count is 15k and growing steadily

What matters more than picking a narrow niche is having a consistent VIBE ...

Honestly i think people overthink carousel order too much

what matters most is that each slide provides value. if your content is good, people will swipe through regardless of order

that said, i do follow a general structure:
- slide 1: hook/headline that promises value ("5 ways to...")
- slides 2 ...
