Then make gaming videos like gameplays, tips and tricks, or montage of your best plays. Are you into fashion and accessories?

Then make cooking videos like Erwan Heussaff! Are you into making funny videos and recreating typical everyday scenarios? Then make some like TikTok star Sassa Gurl! There are so many niches to be said but you get the idea. You’ll be more productive with the content you love making in the first place, plus you’ll also attract the right audience for your page or channel.
Prepare your gear and background
People like pleasing and clean contents. How do you make those type of contents? By investing in some gear like ring light for better lighting, DSLR or a high-end camera for a quality shot, a dedicate mic for better audio quality just to name a few – you’ll notice a world of difference in your content. Now if you don’t have the funds yet to get those gears and gadgets, the one thing you should always remember is to keep a neat background! No one wants to watch a video with a messy background so before pushing that post button, make sure that you have an eye-pleasing background.

You can add a second platform if you’ve amassed a sizeable following on one of those platforms, which will double your following. It’s best to first concentrate on developing one platform. This will allow you to give it your whole attention before switching to other accounts and exhausting yourself in the process.
Make your content stand out if possible
Don’t post what others have already posted. Numerous social media users have seen some of the same content repeatedly, which can get tiresome. Make a content by doing something unique. Make sure the content you post about has a fresh perspective. That is how you win the heart of your target audience. Maybe do a backflip while cooking? That maybe a little bit extreme, but you get the idea.
Patience and dedication are the key

Don’t skip a day without posting and most importantly, keep away from violations so that your content wouldn’t be shadow banned which basically means that your content will be blocked from the social media algorithm.
