Simran’s journey

‍

I started my content creation journey about five years ago, driven by a passion for lifestyle and women's hygiene topics. I chose this niche because I felt there was a significant gap in accessible and relatable information on these subjects. Being a creator has allowed me to share valuable insights, connect with a diverse audience, and enjoy the benefits of a flexible and rewarding career. Recommending products and sharing links has become a natural extension of my content, helping my followers discover quality items while also supporting my work.

Challenges

‍

Content creation is not easy, and every creator faces numerous roadblocks in their journey. The most common issue is the inability to monetize organic content. Here are a few challenges that Simran encountered:

• Unaware of monetization opportunities apart from brand collabs: Monetizing by recommending products and sharing product links has been an unclear narrative for creators, and Simran was in the same boat for a long time.
  ‍
• Brand collabs are unreliable: It’s true, and you would also agree that securing brand collaborations while maintaining creative freedom has long been a challenge in the industry. Creators want to focus on creating quality content but often get stuck in a feedback loop for brands’ approval.
  ‍
• Difficult to work with aspirational Brands for smaller Creators: In the early days of Simran’s journey, getting collaborations with desired brands was a major blocker. This scenario hasn’t changed much, and budding creators still seek a solution to this problem.
