Episode Summary:
In Part 2 of this episode, Tejas is joined by Joe Pulizzi to discuss how to adapt your content and style for various social media platforms, the future and opportunities of the creator economy, and what content creators you should follow in 2022.
Key Highlights:
- 0:27 – 2:18 – Growing the Audience on LinkedIn and Twitter – Social media algorithms change how people consume content on LinkedIn and Twitter. The post length for each platform is specific. But you should deliver meaningful and valuable content for your audience. Also, be consistent. For LinkedIn, that means posting several times a week, while for Twitter, several times a day.

- 12:44 – 16:08 – Content Creator Challenges – Number one is the lack of patience. It’s challenging to monetize your content on social media, and it takes time before you start earning something. Set your expectations right and be consistent. The second challenge is deciding on one thing you are great at and creating good content. The third challenge is email content many creators neglect.
