In an era where the Business landscape is constantly evolving, we are thrilled to embark on this journey of knowledge-sharing and innovation with you.

Content creation is the cornerstone of marketing. It’s a way to get your message out to the world and create a buzz about your brand, product, or service. 

For it to get results, though, it needs to resonate with your audience. And, to achieve this, you need to understand where they are coming from and what they want to read. 

So, to be a successful content creator, you’ll need to know much more than simply how to take a photo, write a blog post, or capture a video. You need to keep up with trends and know how to research. 

If the idea of research didn’t scare you, continue reading to find out how you can join this exciting, fast-paced industry. We’ve scoured the web to summarise the main steps and included a couple of tips to help you set yourself apart from the competition from the get go.

Which Types of Content Creators Do You Get?

As mentioned earlier, content creation is not limited to the written form and so there’s not just one type of content creator that you can become. In the digital marketing space, content creators manage different digital “departments”. While some companies may use a dedicated content creator for a specific type of medium, others may use one to manage all avenues. Here are some of the main types of content creators that you get and a brief look at their job description:

Types of Content Creators

  • Content writer 

Content writers create original and engaging written content that can be used on various platforms. They are often also tasked with creating text for the company's various marketing channels, such as social media, and email. That said, blogging is usually the most common channel used by content writers. 

  • Videographer 

Videographers are in charge of filming and editing video content. It’s their responsibility to ensure that the video content is up to the company's standards. YouTube has become the preferred platform for video content creators, but with increasingly more video content getting shared on sites like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, there are multiple platforms where videographers can share their craft.   

  • Photographer 

Photographers are the creatives behind many of our images on social media and on websites. They use their skills to create compelling photos that tell stories or capture the world's beauty around them. From fashion to beauty to food to fitness, you’ll find photographers in many different fields. While they have a lot of creative control over what they shoot, they also have to consider what their client wants them to shoot. This means that at times they might have to tackle a less interesting project like shooting product photos. 

  • Podcast host 

Podcasts are a great way to share messages. As a podcast host, you often have to act as the middle or neutral party between the guest and the listeners. You’ll be responsible for conducting interviews, providing commentary, and, ultimately, creating an engaging experience for listeners. 

  • Social Media Influencer 

Social media influencers have a significant and loyal following on social media. They use their following to promote products and services or convey their messages. 

There are many different types of social media influencers that include: 

  1. Nano influencers who have a following of 1,000 to 10,000 followers 
  2. Micro-influencers who have 10,000 to 50,000 followers 
  3. Macro influencers who have 500,000 to 1 million followers 
  4. Mega influencers who have over 1 million followers

Finding up-and-coming talent to partner with as well as trend spotting has long been crucial for marketers and agency execs who want their brands to be a part of culture in a way that keeps them relevant with young audiences. In recent months, that’s only gotten more important with the accelerated growth of influencer marketing, shifting content consumption habits and the continued fragmentation of the social media landscape.
