A content creator is someone who creates written, audio, video, or visual content for a digital platform like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or a blog.

Ahrefs contributor Si Quan Ong has published an in-depth article on becoming a successful content creator.

He says, “Looking back at my own career, I’ve identified some key things that led me to become a content creator.

1. Choose a niche to develop your knowledge and skills

To create content, you need to first have a topic. It can be anything: finance, football, or even Pokemon cards. In fact, I started off writing about breakdancing.

I chose breakdancing because it was something I was already familiar with. I had been doing it for almost eight years at that point and had accumulated a ton of knowledge. I just needed to figure out how to share it.”
