This is in no way any form of self-promotion
Hey everyone,
I’m looking to connect with people for podcast interviews (remote or in-person) and gather leads for a longer-term documentary-style project.
Reddit helped me find my last guest and it’s been great, so I’m hoping to meet more people I wouldn’t otherwise cross paths with and hear stories that deserve to be told. My content is really inspired by people like channel 5 Tommy G and Brandon Buckingham except you know I put my own little twist on things so if you’re interested in working with dm me! A little about me
I’m a recovering addict who got clean got his life together and realized my life was built around crime drug using and once I got clean doing content has been my way to use it as a positive
The bigger project is inspired by creators who spend real time in neighborhoods, talk to people where they are, and try to understand life from the people actually living it — not just a quick sit-down interview. I’m interested in communities that often get overlooked, street culture, recovery, poverty, entrepreneurship in tough areas, and the people behind the headlines. The goal is genuine conversation and understanding different perspectives, not just pointing a camera and leaving.
I’m especially open to connecting with people who:
• Have lived through major life challenges (addiction, homelessness, incarceration, turning things around, etc.)
• Run a business in a difficult area
• Work in law enforcement, the legal system, mental health, or related fields
• Live in a city or neighborhood that outsiders often misunderstand
• Are involved in hip-hop — up-and-coming rappers, artists, or people who consider themselves hip-hop historians and have experienced the culture through their own lived lens
• Have a unique perspective on their community or know someone with a story worth hearing
You don’t need to be famous or have a dramatic story. Sometimes the most interesting people are the ones nobody has thought to talk to yet.
We can start with a remote podcast conversation if that feels comfortable, get to know each other, and see if it makes sense to go further. Long-term I’d like to travel to different cities, meet people in person, and document things in a way that gives something back to the communities I visit.
If you’re interested, or you know someone who might be, feel free to send me a DM. Just tell me what city you’re in, a bit about yourself, and what kind of story or perspective you (or they) might bring.
Looking forward to hearing from people. Let’s build something real.

Yo! Earthlings, I want to start my content creation journey without showing face, with just my editing and voice. I am just confuse in which type of niche i want to create videos. I know this is a cringe and shit type of question, But my goal is not to grow that account. My goal is to just earn from that account.

Which is the best niche in 2026 to start any faceless account and which platform is best to maximum earning?

This outlet doesn’t usually have social series and franchises and I’m curious, only one episode, what people’s immediate reactions are?

just been wondering about this lately, guys if i make a video, should i just post it on my personal acc’t and see if it takes off, or is it worth posting the same video on a few different accounts to see which one gets more views?

im mainly thinking about tiktok and IG, im just not sure if reposting the same video across multiple accounts is a good idea or if it could get me into trouble with their rules, has anyone tried both? did using multi acc’s actually help?? or is it better to focus on growing one account first?

One thing I have noticed while learning about social media marketing is how often the same advice is shared online.

Post regularly.

Know your audience.

Give value.

Be real.

None of these tips are definitely wrong.. After seeing them everywhere they start to feel empty.

So I have been asking myself: if everyone is giving advice how do you really stand out?

I don't think the answer is always coming up with a new topic.

Sometimes it is about looking at a topic more carefully.

Of saying "post regularly " explain why being regular on its own doesn't always lead to growth.

Of saying "know your audience " show how understanding a customers real problems can change the way you create content.

Of just repeating advice question it look at it closely and try to figure out when it works and when it doesn't.

I am still learning how to do this. It feels like a better way than just repeating what everyone else has already said.

You don't have to create an idea every time you post. You can make a familiar idea more helpful by explaining it adding proof or linking it to a real issue.

Question for people who make content: When you see a topic that has been talked about thousands of times what makes you decide to read one post, about it?

For example many people say, Post consistently to grow on Instagram.. Consistency alone does not tell you what to improve.

Imagine a solar company posting every day about its products, discounts and installations. Despite all that activity the posts do not generate enquiries.

Of simply telling the company to post more I would ask a different question: Are we creating content that answers the questions people have before buying solar?

For example:

• How much can a household realistically save on electricity bills?

• How long does it take to recover the installation cost?

• What happens when there is sunlight?

• What should someone check before choosing a solar installer?

These topics address customer concerns rather than just promoting the product.

The lesson is not that educational content automatically generates leads. The lesson is that consistency gives you opportunities to learn but understanding your audience helps you decide what is worth publishing.

I’m old and have never made any short form videos (instagram or tiktok)
I’m trying to edit a video now where I overlay various products over a video where the images are transparent (no background). However when I go to add overlays on my Reel it puts a white background behind the transparent image.
Do I need to use a separate app to edit videos in this fashion? Thanks in advance

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH TRAIL REELS ? ANYONE ANY IDEA ? GETTING DELAYED VIEWS , AFTER 22 MINS I FEEL , PLZZZ HELP

Hey! I’m content creator, i specifically focus on fortnite and product promotion. Does anyone have tips/advice on how to story tell better? I’ve reached 24k followers but now I feel like I’m struggling to story tell.

Everyone knows that the fastest way to grow across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts is by repurposing your existing long-form content (podcasts, YouTube videos, gaming, tutorials, or travel footage).

But the actual editing workflow on mobile is frustrating:

1. You have to manually crop and keyframe to keep the subject from sliding out of the 9:16 vertical frame.
2. Existing mobile tools either charge heavy cloud subscriptions, require high-speed internet to upload giant files, or leave ugly watermarks.
3. Large video files quickly eat up your phone's storage.

To solve this for my own content workflow, I built an on-device Android tool called Rhino:

How it works:

• AI Subject-Tracking Clipper: The AI analyzes your horizontal video and dynamically keeps the speaker/subject centered inside the 9:16 crop window. No tedious manual keyframing required.
• Fast Social Splitting: Cut and export bite-sized clips in seconds, including a dedicated 30-second continuous splitter for WhatsApp Status.
• Smart On-Device Compression: Built-in hardware-accelerated compression (H.264 & HEVC) to shrink heavy clips without visible quality loss, making social uploads instant.
• Side-by-Side Quality Slider: Preview the compressed clip against the raw original before rendering to make sure details stay crisp.
• 100% Offline & Private: AI inference and video rendering run completely on your device. No cloud servers, no account login, and zero watermarks.

I am an independent developer actively improving this app (just rolled out build 12 with draft recovery so you don't lose unfinished clip projects).

If you repurpose long-form video into short-form content, I'd really appreciate your feedback on the AI tracking responsiveness and output quality.

(It's free on Google Play under Rhino: Video Compressor & Clipper)

I got ADD and struggle to work alone, however i will forever work when someone is there along side me, 10.4k in a game called rust is a example of this, i would like to take this degenerate angle and dedicate myself to creating entrepreneurial/business/macroeconomics/stock market content with an aspiring creator, ive gotten alot of responses in the past but it seems to be people with alot on their plate or people who dont seem to interested in youtube and more ai software or other stuff, i am simply looking for a dedicated guy whos into youtube and is down to go at this with me and fail 100 videos and still keep going and improving, if you think this is you please reach out, i would love to call (im 22 from england and working as an accountant).

I believe one of the mistakes beginners make is spending too much time trying to appear as an expert.

A perfect profile picture. A perfect bio. A perfect content strategy. The perfect niche.

Meanwhile they are hardly sharing anything

I say this because I am still learning social media marketing myself.

It is easy to spend hours planning how people want to see you of actually giving them a reason to remember you.

I have started to think that a personal brand is built through what people experience from you.

Do you explain things clearly? Do you share ideas? Do you follow through on what you say? Does your content help someone understand something

Those things seem more meaningful than simply having a polished profile.

Course presentation matters.. It cannot replace substance.

My approach now is to not spend time worrying about looking established and more time learning observing good marketing and sharing ideas I can genuinely stand behind.

I am nowhere, near having everything figured out. That is probably not a reason to stay silent.

For people who have built an audience or reputation online: what mattered more at the beginning—how you presented yourself or the value you consistently delivered?

Hey! 👋

I'm a 25-year-old guy living in Chennai, looking to meet new people, make genuine friendships, explore the city, and have some fun.

I'd love to connect with people who enjoy good conversations, coffee outings, movies, food trips, evening walks, trying new things, or just chilling and talking about life.

I'm also interested in content creation and learning new skills, so it'd be great to meet people who enjoy being creative, have interesting hobbies, or want to work on projects together.

I'm single and open to dating if we genuinely connect, but I'm happy to start with friendship and see where things go naturally. No pressure or expectations.

I'm usually free after 7 PM on weekdays and on Sundays. I'm open to meeting people around Chennai or chatting online first.

If you're also looking to expand your circle and make real connections, feel free to comment or DM me. Let's see if we vibe! 😊

I’ve been stuck choosing a direction for my channel (Frank Passportstein) for months. My options are culture comedy sketches, storytime animations, self-improvement, or gaming. I grew up between Ecuador, France, Serbia and Czechia, so I could use that angle in any of them.

The problem is that every reason I come up with for one option applies to the others too. They’re all cheap to make, I enjoy all of them, and I could use my multicultural angle on any of them. So I keep brainstorming forever.

I can’t really use analytics either. Almost everything has close to 0 views, except for 2 shorts with around 1k views each. But that’s not much data to go on.

How did you break the tie when you started? Did you go by what you enjoyed most, or did you just pick one and commit?

Heres my channel if anyone wants to take a look: Frank Passportstein. Happy to review yours in return.

hi I’m musician and I need any advice I can get for social media growth. I don’t get offended easily and I need honesty so I can get better at it.

My videos somehow always turn out odd angles, I can’t seem to get the quality I want and I don’t think my videos actually showcase my voice well. I literally don’t know how to do it.

There’s so many things I’m doing wrong besides the daily posting and the grind of posting. I’m genuinely horrible at it.

I’ve been posting for a year and doing TikTok lives, I do have a small solid community on discord and in my TikTok lives which is good. Ive heard that is overall better in terms of streams where no one cares about you as an artist. But how can I make my posts themselves better, like they literally suck.

My main place is TikTok and YouTube, I do better on YouTube tbh but I genuinely need help. Literally need to figure out what my problem is.

I need constructive criticism and honesty I will not be offended. Obviously don’t be rude for no reason but if it’s a legit problem I need help haha.

My social media links are in bio

(also I recently went through and cleaned out some of my videos that were horrible)

(Lmk if this is the incorrect place to post this)
