Creator Advice: "Your fear of getting hate is stopping you from going viral"
Want to be an influencer or creator in 2024? Want to make TikTok or YouTube your full-time job? Well...get ready for lots of hate! Unfortunately it is part of the job. But that doesn't mean it should stop you. Here is how I have learned to grow self-confidence even at times when I fall into the trap of reading awful things people are saying. It happens to everyone online so it is not personal! I hope this helps someone ❤️ SOURCES: "I faked a scandal online for attention" by Marley Jaxx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z13TFm-tlToBria Jones Podcast, "because of I love you": https://youtu.be/SKtUfVHnEDE?si=sTvp1fenrhqbV4IW EMAIL: cocomocoe@whalartalent.com Thank you for watching, rating and subscribing to the 'Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe' podcast ❤️ Join the #AheadOfTheCurve Discord here: https://discord.gg/FWjnNmCnRu Watch my other show, #ShareYourScreen, with Nicky Reardon here: https://www.youtube.com/@NickyandCoco Follow Coco on TikTok and Instagram: instagram.com/cocomocoetiktok.com/@cocomocoe#InfluencerMarketing #CreatorMarketing This is a public episode.
