What's your opinion of TikTok and why downtime is as productive as uptime

Downtime - nothing to shy away from

Hey , so I wanted to talk about that guilt creatives have during periods of downtime.

As a creatorpreneur - a new noun I learnt, which is basically an entrepreneur who focuses on creative content - we take the approach of the best way to serve our audience it to be constantly creating new fresh original content for our audience.

I'm rethinking that definition.

I think a better way a creatorpreneur can serve their audience is to create a consistent stream of valuable content that is sustainable for both creative and audience.

My new definition has a few swaps

swap constantly to consistently
swap new to valuable
swap original to sustainable

Firstly it doesn't serve anyone when the creative is continually exhausted and stressed trying to come up with new content.

Better to go for consistency.

In these newsletters, I've targeted every two weeks as the frequency that I email.

Every two weeks gives me something to look forward to and I can write you a longer form newsletter, knowing that I have done, learnt and experienced enough in a two week window to share with you.

This helps me to keep it sustainable and provide you content of value.

The third swap was around everything having to be always original.

Really there's not that much that actually is original, many of the today's thought leaders have repackaged tried and tested content but made it more modern and accessible for their audiences.

It's terribly exhausting to always be original all the time - better, I think, is that my content is valuable and engaging for you.

What do you think about TikTok?

So there is so much hype around TikTok and industry thought leaders saying we, as creatorpreneurs, need to move across to TikTok.

I think with these trends, it's better for a creatorpreneur to ask their audience directly.

What do you think of TikTok, do you use it, if so what type of content do you consume on it?

I only consider doing it if it's actually going to add value to your day.
