Navigating the World of Digital Content Creation: Frustrations, Dreams, and Charity

Gonna chit chat with you guys while I wash a couple dishes here. TikTok has been with you the last six months. Anything new? It comes and goes and spurts, but I’m honestly so sick of it.

Like when you’re a creator and you kind of pay attention, you kind of know when a video of yours is gonna go by viral when you first post a video that’s gonna do really well. I’m talking like a million views. You know that like when you first post it, every time you refresh, it goes up by like 500 views. You just know. So I posted last night, every time I refresh, I got like 3,000 views. And I’d say 10 minutes, I was like, this is gonna go viral. It’s finally gonna happen. But what I’ve noticed the last six months, every time I have a video that I think is gonna go viral, all of a sudden the view slow down and it stops. And I just know that TikTok is putting a stop to this. I just know it as a creator who’s put almost 5 years into to this app. I am so sick of how this app operates and how they treat their creators, right? So my video should have went viral brought last night, but it didn’t and they put a stop to it. And I know they did cuz I can watch the numbers. I know how the show works. So I’m tired of it. So I’m not gonna give up on TikTok just yet. Cuz it is my biggest platform.

I am on Instagram, I am on YouTube. And with everything going on with TikTok, just my frustration and the fact that it might get banned regardless of whether or not it gets banned, I am going to be focusing my attention on YouTube, primarily YouTube and Instagram, but YouTube mainly. I’ve worked too hard to just get rid of it. So I’m not going to do that. But I am telling you that I’m gonna be doing a lot more stuff over on the other guys more often because quite frankly, I need to be somewhere where my content isn’t gonna be with because that’s what they feel like doing, right? My handles in the caption of the video. So if you wanna come, give me a follow on that page or check it out. If not, no hard feelings, right? Feels like this app picks and chooses who’s going to do really well and who doesn’t. And I’m to the point where that’s I’m done. So YouTube is going to be where I put most of my energy. Can’t also for anyone here that follows me, that follows like a low carb, sugar free, if you’re diabetic, all of the ebooks on my website are geared towards that type of eating. And the one reason I will never get rid of TikTok is cuz all of my ebooks link right to my social media. Every single recipe has a QR code or link that when you click on it in the ebook, it takes you right to that video on my social media. So you don’t have to flip through 5 years of videos to find it if you want to watch it. It’s all connected. So I will never get rid of this app. But just to let you know, all the ebooks on my website, I have one deal going on right now that is every single one of my ebooks in one giant download. It’s like a 3 and 1 deal. And it also comes with a keto beginner guide. So if you wanna learn how to lose weight, I lost over 100 pounds on keto in 11 months without stepping foot in a gym. I lost all that weight in 11 months. All I did was keto and I wrote down everything I Learned in how to do it. This is my before and after. This took me 11 months. I do wanna preface with saying that when I lost the hundred pounds, I then started going to the gym so I could maintain the weight loss. But this weight loss happened with food alone. All my ebooks are geared towards that type of eating. And if you don’t know, every single time someone makes a purchase on my website, I take a portion of that sale and I put it aside for charity. And every single time I make a charitable donation, I post it here and share it with you guys and show you the whole process so you know exactly where a part of your money is going.

Intent creation at my age for a living is something I was kind of just forced into because of Covid. Kitchen shut down everywhere. And this is just where I ended up. But I ended up loving sharing my life’s passion. And it’s something that I love. And I really want my dreams to come true. And it’s been five years, and sometimes it feels really hard to keep going. But I’m tell you what, I’m really happy doing it, as frustrating as it can be. And if it weren’t for my husband, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. I just wouldn’t. Like, I’m not making millions doing this. I’m never going to.

But what I do get to do is share what I love with you guys, and I get to donate to charity once in a while, which I think is absolutely phenomenal. So if anyone is interested in looking at downloading one of my ebooks, I’m gonna put all the information on where to find it right down here in the caption, along with my handles for my other socials, the recipes in my ebooks are so special to me for a couple different reasons. The kind of food that I ate in losing all my weight, which changed my life. But it’s also these recipes that I created to share with all my followers. Cuz back in the day I was a keto page and most of my OG followers are here because of that. And I am so grateful, especially for my, you know, old school people that followed me from the jump that are still here today, even though my content has shifted a little bit.

I am so grateful and for everyone that has picked up a copy of my book, I can’t tell you what it means to me. I mean, I, I get, I’m not getting rich on this, but just knowing that some of you have my book out there and you use it and you enjoy it, like literally makes me so happy. You don’t even understand how happy makes me.

Okay, now I’m gonna stop rambling about all that. Again, if you wanna come follow me on my YouTube, I would be forever grateful. And just so you know, there’s gonna be food content coming over there. There’s gonna be more vlog content coming over there. If there’s anything you like, recipes you wanna see me make on my YouTube or I can break it down a little bit better, let me know in the comments.

I’m so excited cuz I’m actually today going to be receiving a new microphone. Cuz I really wanna up my game and my editing skills and just take it to a whole other level over there. And I’m so excited. Anyway, that’s it for this video. So thank you so much for listening.

Thank you for letting me air my frustrations about this app because like I’m seriously so sick of it. And any creators watching me, I’m sure you can understand and anyone who supported me along the way, thank you so much. And I can’t wait to do our next donation. So thank you so much. If you pick up an ebook, you guys mean so much to me and I couldn’t be here without you. So I love you to pieces.
