Whenever I upload short videos for Instagram and TikTok, I start by taking note of what time of day it will reach the most viewers. Usually, that will be between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m, so I make sure to upload it then. I also utilize relevant hashtags and keywords depending on the video content, so if I am posting a product review, I'll use hashtags oriented to the products I am using, the brand, and the specific business sector they operate in (#productreview #brandname #wellness, etc.). Another aspect of content creation that is very important is making sure I film in the best quality possible. With that, I changed my phone camera settings to 4k (the cleanest capture for mobile) and use graphics and text that look clean, bold, and suit the theme of the videos. Lastly, it helps to produce relatable, fun content once in a while. I am a college student, so at first, I strictly uploaded college-life-related content and vlogs. However, this can be limiting for newer creators like me. With experience, I discovered that the best way to reach a wider audience is by diversifying my content; a blend of beauty, lifestyle, and college-life content helped me reach up to 800 followers and counting on Instagram!

I filmed a day in my life mini vlog featuring products for the skin care brand Good Molecules. I presented the products in the morning portion of the video, using their lightweight moisturizer, micinamide toner, and cleansing bar for my skin routine.
