Frustrated Content Creator

Another weekend has passed, all of us are still stuck at our home and can’t go out. If there were no pandemic, believe me, I’m probably somewhere else, in the mall, with my friends or probably in a relative’s house in Tagaytay because it’s my aunt’s birthday this weekend.

Forgive me if I’ve been ranting about going outside lately, the furthest that I have gone lately was strolling around our village. When I go out I usually dine out or go to some hidden thrift stores, but right now, dining inside the restaurants is still prohibited, so bear with me a little longer because the extrovert inside me can’t be easily tamed.

To be honest, I’m running out of ideas to do at home, my brain is pretty fried up. I tried cooking, dancing, making music, exercising, writing, sewing, make-up and more other stuff. I feel like Anna in Frozen where she sang “Do you wanna build a snowman?” and the line that goes, “Just watching to hours tick byyyyyy~”. (don’t lie, you did the tongue click part! HAHAHAHA)

 But for this weekend I decided to spice things up a bit. This past few months, I’ve been learning all about investing in general, it started with the what is the right bank to keep your money, how to save and build an emergency fund. Then I dived deeper with the magic of time deposits and high-interest savings banks. When I got the gist of it, I transferred to MP2 savings and I decided to mess up with the stock market or did the stock market mess with me? Because apparently my portfolio is bleeding red, right now (aren’t we all?).

Later on,  I’ve gotten interested in learning cryptocurrency but I was too scared to hop in because of the risks involved in the crypto-world. We learned a bit of crypto-currency when I was in college and one thing was taught to us, be weary.

Luckily, my sister, @Hanzell , had a slight background to it, as she is been doing it for quite some time now and  introduced me to noise.cash and read.cash. At first I was hesitant because in college great caution was given to us in investing in crypto. After quite some time, I've been enjoying myself and meeting such amazing people and friends! Along side with it, I earned some BCH to HODL.

On one of my random scroll here in read.cash, I came across @Crypto.Maniac 's article about how noise.cash can or might even surpass other social media platforms in the future. I quite agree with him, as a person having to experience most of the social media platforms.

I’ve been doing content creation for a while now, I take my tweets and Instagram posts way too seriously. My friends even call me an Instagram-conscious person (I don’t know if that term exists), because I always and I mean always make sure that the shot was properly taken and it will take me forever to think of captions that can really vibe with the picture.

Here are some of them:

To be honest, I always dreamt of being a content creator and my friends are on all out support, as they can really see the effort that I put into it. They would always tell me that I should take my content seriously because I have the potential  to make money out of it. But no matter what I do to pierce in the bubble of content creators in other social media sites, I just can’t. 

Maybe that’s another reason why I post so randomly because  I transferred from one niche to another. I tried posting about make-up, about fashion and styling, about nails, about my life, travel and I almost tried it all, but no matter what I do, I don’t get enough engagements to be considered as a content creator.

I don’t have the equipment and the talent for it, or so I thought, or maybe luck is just not on my side, I don’t really know. That’s why I already have given up a long time ago, but still tried my best to post good contents on both platforms. Right now,  I’ve been doing it not professionally but just out of pure hobby.

Then I discovered noise.cash, just had my account for a month now. If you would visit my noise.cash (https://noise.cash/u/sunshinestella), you could see how I treat it as my Twitter and Instagram from the moment I got into it. I still think I post randomly but I take time to post good stuff out there and it hit me, I’ve been doing this for the longest time. But this time, I get to do it with monetary value!

I had engagements in this platform which are so amazing. I get so inspired with those that have been here for months and I get to inspire other people with my stories and posts too! I get to make friends and I should say that the community is so welcoming here. There are no boundaries or distance felt between those new users and those who have been in the platform since the beginning. 

I know there are many dreams that noise.cash is allowing people to achieve, especially monetary ones, it also has helped others even on their basic needs but for me, it helped me realize that I can still achieve my dream of monetizing my content. I can’t say yet that I’m a professional content creator, I’m way far from that but out of all the engagements in any other social media platforms that I’ve got, I know I already inspired some people and that just melts my heart.

Finally, a platform where people can appreciate what I share without the constant thought of competition, because honestly, I think the competition of content creation in Instagram and Tiktok is so high, or is it just me?

Finally, a platform where I can post randomly and people would still interact with me, especially with the new update.

This got me thinking why maybe I can’t be one of those so-called professional content creators in other platforms, maybe I am not meant for it. Maybe I am meant to be here or maybe I’m still not meant here, who knows? But all I know is that, I still have a lot to improve on myself and my contents but this time around, I am more motivated than ever and I hope you are too!

Let’s keep creating and comment your noise.cash accounts too! I'd love to see your contents!

See you around! 🌤
