Figuring it all out…in public

It’s not beyond comprehension that there are really people who are making big bucks by sharing content on social media. What’s harder to understand is the ground work that’s required to become one of these people. That’s why, I shudder when I hear the inevitable question, “so, what is it that you do?” 

I know, I know. No one means any harm. But what am I supposed to say? My real answer wants to be “I’m doing something you’ve probably never been seen done before”, because well, it’s true.

Statistically, we don’t have many friends or family members who are making money doing this “social media thing”. The highly successful ones are few and far in between. But that doesn’t stop me, and if anything, it pushes me even harder. 

I’ve seen it be done with my own eyes more than once, and that’s all the proof I need. Those who are more Type A and analytical may require more explanation though. I get that. But us creatives finally feel that we have a space that is reserved for our hosts of gifts and talents. 

“So how does it actually work?” 

“Brands just…pay you?” 

“So you just post on Instagram all day?” 

“How are you going to file your taxes?” 

Those are just some of the many inquiries I receive when I share my goals and dreams. Again, I know they mean well, lol. 

One of the things I love most about God, is that 99.9% of the time, the things He does don’t make that much sense in the natural world. However, what He’s doing in the supernatural fall together like perfectly laid bricks. I may not have all the answers to everyone’s questions and I may be figuring this all out in the public eye, but that’s because I’m walking by faith. I wholeheartedly believe that if God called me to it, He will see me through it. No matter what. 

So cheers to figuring it all out in the public eye.
