i found millions of YouTube videos that have default camera names as titles (like IMG_0276) and made it into a website where you can watch random ones.
Niche InternetThe power of TikTok Edits
In the past, I’ve only seen coverage of Edits focus on four things:How this is a popular form of content that is only being created more and moreHow those who create Edits have the ability to make clips take on an entirely new meaning and provoke strong emotions in viewers How they’re geared towards TV, film, and music – as that’s the realm of culture this form of media originated And lastly, the debate around Edits in terms of copyright and/or other infringementsBut today, we’re covering how the power of TikTok Edits is far greater than just those observations. Because as this person stated, “You can convince people of anything if you put it in a TikTok with a catchy sound.”
Edits now play an integral role in how people get introduced to topics and how they continue to keep up with them. While Edits have had various evolutions, in their current form, they can be defined as “compilation videos, typically set to music, that convey a narrative about a person, place, thing, or cultural topic.”
The Rise Of The Generalist (How To Thrive With Multiple Interests) - Dan Koe
- We are in a second renaissance where the creator economy is growing exponentially and people are turning to creators to learn skills necessary to thrive in a fast-changing digital environment.
- Specialists who focus on a single interest or skill are at a disadvantage compared to generalists who are diverse and interesting.
- The internet favors generalists because social media exposes creators to diverse audiences who are there to be entertained, not just to learn or buy.
- Failure stacking, or pursuing goals and gaining experience even through failures, makes generalists irreplaceable by allowing them to acquire a diverse set of skills.
- The most profitable niche for a creator is their unique combination of opinions, beliefs, knowledge, and life experience packaged into impactful content.
- To earn a living as a generalist, one must become an entrepreneur and build a general audience around helping them achieve a big goal.
- Creators should experiment with writing about all their interests and let the audience decide what resonates, framing everything through the lens of the big goal.
- To make interests compelling to others, creators must illustrate the "why" and importance of ideas, as people weren't born with interests but persuaded into them.
- Creators should establish authority in topics that resonate by creating digital assets like free products to avoid repeating themselves and give room to experiment with new ideas.
- Generalists should build a portfolio of income sources by launching free and paid products around their best ideas every 3-6 months until they have a satisfying brand and business.
