NOW ONOkay, so the first tip that I can give you, and this is probably the most important, is to sit down and really ask yourself why. Why are you trying to be consistent on social media? What is your end goal here? And the reason why I'm encouraging you to say this is because if you do not have a strong why, then you will not stay consistent and this whole process and all the other tips I give you are just going to be redundant because you posting on social media is going to feel like a chore because there's no real reason or motivation behind your willingness to post, if that makes sense...
My next tip for you is to commit to a best case and a worst case posting schedule. Now a lot of people will tell you find a schedule that works for you and commit to it; that is completely true, that's still very valid advice, right? However, what I like to do for myself, which I find really helps me, is that I have a best case and worst case scenario schedule. So if you take my YouTube channel for example, my best case scenario is that I post twice in the week, usually on a Wednesday and a Sunday...
The next tip that I want to give you is all about batch creating content. So you know for a fact that I wasn't going to do this entire video without talking about that creating content. There's no way you cannot do a video about staying consistent without talking about batch creating content. Now, I do have a whole video on kind of content batching 101 which I'll link to up here, I always forget which side it is. I'm gonna go with this one, which I 100% recommend giving a watch if you're really serious about batch creating your content. Moving forward, for the sake of this video, I'll give you an overview of what the process is...
My next tip for you is more about how you can keep your kind of content ideas flowing because if you followed my previous tip about batch creating content, you might find that you sit down to create content and you're like, "Oh, I don't know what I want to create content about." And that's the worst position to be in. Like you've got yourself pumped up, you're ready to film or you're ready to take some photos, and then you're like, "I don't even know what I'm capturing content of." No one wants that, right? And that should never be a position that you land yourself in...
The last thing I want to talk to you about is less of a tip and more of just like a discussion point in which is that it's really worth noting that motivation and discipline are two different things. So we're talking about staying consistent and staying motivated on social media. And I think a lot of people let themselves get a bit disappointed because their motivation is fleeting. It comes and goes...
