It was an interview series where we shared more about how we started and how the journey has been so far. It was a long video and I felt anxious posting that because I was unsure if people would watch to the end, but the comments were refreshing. I also had a few people reach out to me to ask for help getting started and just to answer questions generally about how I make my videos. That was encouraging. \n\nThe second video was a recap for Game7, a gaming portal I support and love. They retweeted my video and even sent me a dm telling me how they loved it and how creative it was. Inspiring!\n\nThe last video was an ordinals onboarding video.

I was anxious and afraid of putting myself out there because of the criticisms and lack of equipemt. But I finally did it with the support of my friends and it was great. The first video I did won me $1k, the highest reward tier for a Game7 UGC campaign. The next video got a lot of impressions, bookmarks, and new followers. Ever since then, I've gotten good gigs as a video content creator. I usually create videos in the morning/ afternoon and I talk about games, projects I'm interested in and impressive stats. The shooting and scripting are less time consuming than the editing. With the funds I've received, I've gotten a ringlight, wireless microphone, and currently working on a new workspace. It's kind of ready but not entirely. I believe what makes my content unique is the humor and energy I bring to it. I try to make it funny so viewers don't get bored and I add some creative stuff in between to make it different.

Creating content that is fun. A lot of people are eager to play good games but don't know about these games. It's my job to research these games, play them, figure out the startegy for winning and share with my audience. When I share an exciting guide on a game I'm playing and it's vibey, people will like to try it. When they try it and see how fun it is, they recommend to others and it keeps growing from there. My enthusiasm cana be contagious, encouraging my audience so I'll be doing that.\n\n2. Educational tutorials that spotlight projects and new updates and showcase how the community can get involved. \n\n3. Sharing success stories. People love to win and when they hear someone got wins from something the sei ecosystem game or using a platform, they'll be excited to join in. \n\n4. I can also host polls or q&A sessions to ask for my audience opinions and see the content they like best.\n\nI'll tweet video snippets or highlights with captions at peak times. I post in the morning when most people are online and I have communities that can help push my content. Also, behind the scenes content can be cool when peole see the work that goes into creating these videos. I can also schedule videos to be posted at peak times. As I upscale, I can do sponsored giveaways. For example, ''share a SEI game you played this week. Three winners receive 50 sei each''. Or thread campaigns and reward the best. The incentive can drive people to create content and enjoy it. This can inspire them to explore more and even stick around. Also, ending with CTAs is a powerful strategy and posting info my audience likes.
