How to start a blog or TikTok? Steps to creating your dream content

How often do you scroll through TikTok and think: ‘I can do that too!’ and then put that thought in the back of your mind? It's time to act! After all, creating a popular blog is sometimes easier than listening to your mum's long monologue on the topic of ‘get off the phone’. But we're not just hanging out here, we're creating creative content!

Let's analyse what all the top bloggers have in common. And it's not even the magic button ‘+1000 subscribers overnight’. They just once decided to take the first step. Let's do it together - let's make your page trending! Catch the guide!

1. Define your topic

What inspires you? Perhaps you're a great video game player, love to experiment with make-up, make funny sketches or talk about books? Choose what you really like, because sincere emotional enthusiasm gives you the energy to create! The main thing is not to try to copy others, look for your own unique style.

2. Learn the rules of content creation

For videos or posts to be engaging, they must be of high quality. But that doesn't mean you need to buy professional equipment right away. Here are some basic rules:

• Shoot in good lighting (natural light is your best friend!).
• Use a stable picture (a tripod or at least a comfortable stand).
• Watch the sound - it's better to speak clearly and in a quiet place.
• Learn the basics of editing, for example, in standard free programmes.

3. Create a content plan

Chaos is the enemy of a successful blog. To make it easier to maintain your page, create a content plan in advance. It's not just a list of topics, it's your personal advisor in creating consistent, interesting, and trending content.

• Plan the main headings. For example, life hacks, sketches, reactions to trends, and training videos.
• Determine the frequency of posts. The best option for TikTok is 3-5 videos per week.
• Think about filming in advance. Set aside some days to shoot several videos to have a stock of content.
• Write down ideas as soon as they come to you.
• Make your content flexible. Leave free slots to shoot future trends, as they change quickly.
• Track the results. Analyse which videos get more views and likes and adjust your plan.

4. Life hacks for video

• Use trending music and TikTok effects - algorithms love it!
• Structure the video: the first 3 seconds are for grabbing attention, followed by an interesting presentation.
• Add subtitles or text to make the video easier to understand.
• Shoot content in advance: one day for shooting, the next for editing.

5. How to gain subscribers?

• Be active and attentive: respond to comments, interact with the audience.
• Regularity and consistency are the key to success. The optimal schedule is 3-5 videos per week.
• Participate in trends, but always add your own unique, special feature.
• Use popular hashtags, but no more than 3-5 per post.

6. Don't forget about style!

Your blog is not only about content, but also about your image. Therefore, it is important not only what you create, but also how you look in the frame. For a stylish look, details are important - for example, a cool teenage GoPack backpack. It will become not only a part of your everyday outfit, but also a great addition to your blogging style.

7. The main thing is to enjoy it!

Creating content is primarily about having fun. You shouldn't just chase the likes, the main thing is to do what brings you joy. And remember, every popular blogger once had 0 followers. Start now and let the algorithms be on your side!
