To let that happen the main sub is dedicated to answering questions about subscriber’s own small businesses.
Many people also want to talk about things which are not specific questions about their own business. We don’t want to disappoint those subscribers and provide this post as a place to share that content without overwhelming specific and often less popular simple questions.

QUALITY VS QUANTITY
This is ultimate sauce right here. How do you create a brand, a business, a service that allows you to market yourself online daily, while still maintaining the high level of quality for each post.
At the end of the day, you just have to find something that you are neck deep, undyingly, obsessed with. Something that you can just wake up and start talking about.
Something that you talk about and your friends are so sick of hearing it.
something that you can never get sick of learning about.
something that gives you drive.
Something that motivates you to get up and going in the morning.
Something that brings you joy and happiness and contentment all simultaneously. Something that want to bring to the world
Something that you can never stop talking about
Why is this important? Well social media is all about the numbers. The more you post content and the more you post consistently, the more you will get outreach. Plain and simple. But when you talk about something that’s important to you, well your content is already quality. You don’t have to worry about the bells and whistles. Just get the content out there. Because when someone views your video and sees how passionate you are about whatever you’re talking about, sports, relationships, dogs, etc, then they will be excited about what you talk about. That’s the type of following you want, the type where people follow you based on your passion, NOT what you say. What you say is irrelevant when people trust you.
I’ve seen it time and time again. In good ways and bad, there were many times that people respected a leader based on their beliefs and their morals, than on who they are as a person or what they say. It’s as simple as that.
So before locking down exactly what you want your brand to be, experiment. Talk about certain things on your channel. And then figure out if that’s actually the thing you want to do. It took my 4 years to get to this point where I want to talk social media content marketing. I was in various niches previously and just recently did i find the one thing that I feel passionate about. And that’s just how it goes. It may take time, but put yourself out there to just see what you want to do.
And if you’re young, don’t fret you have time.
And if you’re well seasoned, don’t fret you have time
