Niche Content Creation

Posted by Syntrus - November 7th, 2022


1)

Dream Killers

 First up is the most important question, who is it for? The correct answer to this question regardless of field and content is, it’s for you. I see it time and time again some hot shot shit head with an English lit degree or some other unmarketable skill come on to the scene with no content and nothing to offer because he (or she or whatever) doesn’t do the necessary digital masturbation that is content creation, what they choose to do is come on the scene and tear others down before they even have anything of their own to show, these shit head types are often diagnosed by the content creator with various mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia, gender dysphoria or autism or given some sort of new world PC term like “troll” or “critic” in order to disregard them. The correct term for these mofuckas is dream killers and to quote some foo foo vagina ass blog I was reading. “the biggest dream killer is you.” Think about it, yes, there will always be negative people on the internet with a spectrum of opinions about your content yes everyone is in different stages of their development in terms of quality of content; but it is a conscious decision for you to take their stupid opinion and apply it to your project. I’m not saying don’t take criticism, I am saying consider the source and don’t just follow whatever bullshit advice is given to you. That’s my advice. By understanding that your content is for you (providing there isn’t some fat cat fuck paying for your soul) this is your party and you decide what the fuck you make and what is good. Before you start making shit for other people, you have to start making shit for you so you know what you can and can’t do and what it is that makes you.

2) Success

Success in this game in this niche space this is not something that is instant, this is a slog, this is going in every day and working over your hot computer too make sure your post pregnancy sonic fan art picture has the perfect amount of glisten on the afterbirth. As a society everyone has this false belief that “oh I just draw sonic doing tails up the bum and post it on the internet and I’ll be famous” but drawing Sonic is a fucking skill and you are going to fail, you are going to struggle, and the best way to deal with that tall order is to take it and break it down into smaller steps, and work at it every day, or when you have time, no one rational expects themselves to be an overnight success give yourself a break. Some people go their whole lives without ever actually making anything comparable to the great ones but their commitment to going in every day and drawing their subpar fan fic of sonic (or making a movie sending a rocket to the moon or curing cancer or whatever) is what makes them a legend.

              

3) Notoriety

Notoriety is a completely different skill from content creation, it is a skill that complements content creation like jelly to content creations peanut butter, not everyone knows how to get it not everyone wants it, not everyone that has knows how they got it. I’m still learning about fame (I’m still a small fish) so ask back again when I figure it out and am famous enough to ignore you.
