Social Media Masterclass | North American Vs Australian Influencers | How to Actually Gain Followers
In episode 23 parts 1 and 2, we will be discussing a really important issue and topic of why are North American influencers growing at a fast rate and gaining lots of followers. Also, this is the case for social media stars from the UK. There is definitely a different approach by people overseas, they seem to set up a group chat and plan out their videos and content strategy. They will make lots of videos in 1 week that will be published over a few weeks and months. It is very interesting to see how influencers treat each other and collaborate. Here in Australia, it seems many are out for themselves and worry about another person overtaking them. If someone has 10,000 followers, they don't want to collaborate with someone that has 2,000 or 3,000 because there is no benefit to them. We will also discuss how creators steal from each other and take an idea for themselves, we have had personal experience with this. Teddy will share how hard he works on content and the time it takes to make a short video or long one. Even the short videos can take 40 minutes to get right and perfect. Whenever you see a video published, such as a podcast, it is easy to be critical of what is said or to the hosts, but try to remember the effort that has gone into the video. You will learn about the differences between Instagram and TikTok growth, and the data behind the videos. Teddy will share his views on monetisation and brand deals, which ones should creators accept and not do. Also, how people respond to certain collaborations and the hate Teddy received. Teddy also shares the hate and types of comments he has gotten over the years of creating videos on TikTok. There are many people who hate because they have issues in their life or just love to be confrontational. People have come up to Teddy in real life, giving him their thoughts and opinions, it is crazy! Before you start a social media platform and want to be famous, you want to think if it is right for you or not. You need to have systems in place and a mindset that is ready for the worst types of comments. Sadly, these comments are not just directed towards the creator but people will mention things about the creator's family.
