1 Define Goals

Your journey from hobbyist to professional content creator starts with clear goals. Determine what success looks like for you, whether it's a certain number of followers, a full-time income, or collaborations with brands. Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals will provide you with a roadmap and keep you focused. Remember, these goals can evolve over time, but having a direction is crucial for progress.

Dans un premier temps il faut déterminer votre "Pourquoi". Qu'est ce qui vous motive dans la création de contenu professionnelle. Souhaitez-vous atteindre un degré de notoriété, en faire une source de revenu permanente, nouer des partenariats. Derrière vous devez fixer des objectifs chiffrés. Cela vous permettra de tracer un plan d'action.

As an avid watcher of gaming content creators on several social platforms, I wanted to be part of that community. However, I lacked the necessary resources such as a gaming console or streaming set-up to achieve this dream of mine. I started a YouTube channel commentating on the gameplay of my favorite creators. My views skyrocketed and I got monetized by YouTube. Even though this success was short-lived as I got demonetized not long after; it helped me gain the confidence and self-esteem to work towards a career in content creation. Failure does tend to lead to success one way or the other.

2 Upgrade Skills

As a hobbyist, you've likely developed a foundation of skills, but as a professional, continuous learning is key. Invest in courses or workshops to refine your abilities in areas like writing, video production, or graphic design. Understanding the latest trends and algorithms of various platforms can also give you an edge. Networking with other creators can provide valuable insights and opportunities for growth.

It's crucial for me to have some foundational knowledge about the activities that interest me. For instance, I passionately loved visual arts in the form of comics, fanart, hyperrealism etc. I took it upon myself to learn how to operate software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Krita. I dedicated a personal Instagram blog for my progress. I was very enthusiastic to learn languages. I turned towards free and paid language courses online to learn Spanish and Arabic. If there's anything that peaks your interest, learn how to do it. The internet is filled with capsules of knowledge waiting for you to discover them.

Although there's a thing called 'Art for Art's sake', most content creators believe in the motto 'Art for Life's sake'. Your content is inspired by what's happening around you, the kind of audience you engage with and the failures you endure along the way. Maybe, you had once worked passionately on a project but didn't receive the deserved appreciation for your efforts. You, as a content creator, are condemned to learn from experiences and adapt to the wants of your audience.

Finally, managing your workflow efficiently is crucial as you transition to a professional content creator. Use tools and apps to schedule posts, track analytics, and manage projects. Time management and organization will help you maintain consistency, meet deadlines, and balance your workload. Remember that burnout is real; so prioritize self-care and set boundaries to ensure sustainability in your career.

Working as a freelance content writer, I struggled to find a balance between my work and my studies. I sometimes had to prioritize my work deadlines over my assignments. However, when I started to have a steady flow of clients every month; I hardly ever took new clients. Moreover, working on the same project for months on end led to a state of burnout. So, to lighten the load and make it more enjoyable, i took up projects that peaked my interest for instance storyline developments or commentary videos. Setting boundaries with your clientele about the workload and time constraints can truly help you in the long run if you want to pursue a career as a freelance writer.
