To understand the importance of light we have to face the darkness. They are mainly both sides of the same coin. It’s similar to truth and lies, good and bad. Everything’s the same. It’s just how we view and utilize it that defines its status.
Like if you have a habit of keeping count on the money that you spent and analyzing its usage of the day and trying to keep it to a minimum then we say it’s a good habit. But how do we know that it’s a good habit? Well, cause we have seen people who spend their money without care because of which they face serious consequences. And the sad part is it’s not only we that takes the heat people depending on us do as well.
That applies to people working online as well. Every people have some habits that are related to the work they do. Like getting up early to go to the office, eating lunch at a specific every day, and many more. Like this good habit, there are some habits that we should avoid like tattling behind someone’s back, being late at every submission of a project, and many more. Good habits we should nurture but bad habit like this can be very harmful so it’s to try and get rid of em.
Now we won’t single bad habits in every sector. Since we are here about content creators so let’s talk about some of their bad habits. And some of these habits may seem negligible to you at first but believe in the long run they can be very harmful to your work.
# Not clear about the niche
In many cases, it’s seen that beginners dive in and try to achieve results as soon as possible. But because of this they often don’t study their main niche or subject properly. Which results in insufficient knowledge regarding it.
As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. And in situations like this such terms are proved in more ways than one. Without proper research of the niche forget about creating the right content you won’t be able to determine the right platform for it. Besides, there would be a lot of loopholes for critics to critic your work.
For instance, suppose you are preparing a documentary on a historical landmark. For such cases having your facts straight is very important. Cause people tend to crosscheck them. So no matter how meaningful and quality content you have if they are not proven fact then the consequences would be dire.
The same can be said regarding content for other platforms as well such as social media platforms, video streaming platforms, etc.
# Not taking your target audience into account
Many times it’s seen that some content creators tend to write what they think is appropriate. But that’s not the way to go. Cause you have to keep in mind that the one who is going to read your content isn’t you. It’s the audience. And when you are writing you have to keep them in mind. Cause people aren’t all the same. Their likes and dislikes differ.
Like, suppose you are very good at English and have a huge vocabulary of complex words. Now show your skills you include many complex words in your content. But you have to understand most of your audience might not understand them. So if you were thinking of them then you would have to choose words that are more familiar and easy to understand so that not only you but also your audience may also be satisfied with your work.
# Being unorganized
One of the core things that can ruin a content creator it’s their carelessness about their work. There are lots of creators out there that do not have a schedule and do things on a whim which is very destructive to the content creators. Cause people not only higher your for your quality but also your efficiency as well.
Besides being unorganized doesn’t only hamper your work life but also your personal life as well. You aren’t able to take care of your health or your family on various occasions cause you weren’t able to find time for yourself nor your family during the deadline. And let’s not even think about the mistakes that have occurred because of your needless haste which could have easily been avoided if you had a routine and stuck to it.
