I have been creating content for the past 15 years. You might think it's a joke but I Joined Facebook in 2008. Since then I ran several meme pages for fun and built huge audiences within a short period. Made some money through promotions but nothing life-changing. For a year, I also tried my luck on Youtube and video editing. Again, nothing extraordinary.
In Feb 2021, I started publishing blogs on LeoFinance and Hive and it has completely changed my life. I knew I had to be creating content for a living. It's my form of expression to showcase my experiments & different skill sets I gather in return for running them.
As technology advances and AI continues to automate many jobs, the demand for human creativity, emotional intelligence, and storytelling skills is expected to increase. In this blog, I want to discuss the key factors that make content creation a promising career choice for the foreseeable future:
Never Ending Demand
With the rapid growth of digital platforms and Web3, demand for high-quality content is increasing. The most common jobs on Upwork I find these days are related to content marketing and the skills associated with it.
Every business on this earth wants engaging customers. Customers being normal beings want to entertain, educate or inspire themselves. The easiest way to do all three is through media consumption via social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube etc. The appetite of audiences for fresh, engaging, and relevant information is getting bigger.
Brands can use this leverage and build a strong community around their products or services via content creation. This demand will never die.
Never Ending Learning
Content creation encourages continuous learning and skill development. Two years ago, I was bad at writing and graphic designing. I didn't even know about copywriting. Publishing 400+ blogs on LeoFinance & Hive in such a short time has made me learn so many different skills including finance and investment.
As I worked on diverse projects and explored various formats, I refined my writing, storytelling, design, and technical skills. This professional growth can help me stay competitive and relevant in the job market for years to come.
As I create more content, I will be learning more and keep adding on top of my knowledge stack. This is invaluable and not many jobs in the world allow you to be in that position.
Networking & Collaboration
By consistently producing high-quality, engaging, and informative content, creators demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in their niche. It can attract opportunities you can't even imagine. You may find yourself in the rooms you think you don't belong to or meet with people who were unapproachable before.
I have met so many amazing people online and you won't believe it, two of my best buddies met me online on a social community I created in 2009. They liked what I published back then and connected with me via comments.
Conclusion
In conclusion, content creation stands out as one of the best and safest jobs for the future due to its reliance on human creativity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. As technology advances and continues to automate different jobs, the demand for unique and engaging content will only grow, providing ample opportunities for content creators. It's a timeless skill and everyone should try doing it for fun or professionally.
