Social Influencer / YouTuber

To create a new content that would capture views is hard.

Facebook did give me a chance to monetise from the content that I post, but there are strict criteria that I have yet to hit.

The bare minimum criteria I should hit should be gaining 10,000 followers! I believe this is the hardest, but I will work hard for it! LOL

The rest should be the amount of posts/stories/reels to create per week. That is not hard, but I guess I do not reach my intended audience who are people who read children's books. I did try to use Facebook ads to try to get more views and sales, but it failed.

Trying to do you-tubing is worse because I don't get out of the house much, except at weekends. To be a YouTuber means that you have to create a video every day. And your video has to interest people. You have to know what is trendy these days.

I am following this Taiwanese YouTuber, who is a fan of flying on the plane. His videos are mostly on the planes. Of course, he may be sponsored to fly. But to be as infamous as him may take years. His family moved to Singapore 2 years ago to let their kids study here. I have been following him few years even before he came to Singapore.

He had a brain tumour not long ago, but luckily, he survived it. He had to go back to Taiwan for surgery and treatments, His videos became shorter because he was fighting against this illness. I am still following him wherever he is back to flying after recuperation. I did not watch his videos during the period that he was recuperating.

Of course, it did not matter to him, but if I am the YouTuber, I would be sad that the breadwinner of the house was affected by the number of views which would become his income.

To become a social influencer or YouTuber is not hard if you have the passion and the means to create your content. I wish I just had enough passion for this. Anyway, being an author is probably the same. You have to write a book that would suffice to interest your intended audience to start to see your book being purchased. I will just have to keep writing then.
