I just remembered those moments when I was also among the people who were struggling to get their social media accounts monetized. I logged into Facebook one morning and saw a post where a lady was talking about how to change your personal Facebook account to a Facebook page to get it monetized. Then, when she mentioned the earning part, "it blew my mind." At this moment, I'd already started thinking of the plots of land I wanted to get, that imaginary house in my head that I wanted to build.
How I followed every procedure mentioned in that video and turned my friends into followers. "Wow, I succeeded." I felt a little bit of relief because I felt like I was a few steps away from becoming that millionaire I've always wanted to be. Then, after setting up everything, I don't know what happened next. "Still trying to remember," maybe I just wasn't a content person.
Content creation came into existence when we least expected, no one knew back then that social media could be monetized till a few years ago, I know you won't argue with me that currently, a lot of people make cool money from content creating, that is the major reason content creators come up with different ideas every day on how to make cool money. Every day you see people on the internet doing all sorts of things, some posting their daily lives on the internet just for the money and the viewers would be complaining "This isn't proper" but the content creators the other hand don't care, all they are thinking of "is the money" so your opinions about them doesn't matter or even hurt them a bit.
People also use social media as an avenue to perform fraudulent activities just to make money; they say the search for money makes people engage in different things, both the bad and "no doubt". I'm not gonna say monetizing social media is the worst thing that ever happened to humanity. "Nope," we all know how the world works, how there are two sides to the coin.
No matter how good a thing is, there is always the bad side. "Yeah," that is how the world works. But then the monetization of social media has impacted so many lives, making it possible for content creators to earn a living without having a 9-5 job like we do. They stay from the comfort of their home "though uncomfortable" sometimes to put things in place.
What needs to be done is for the government to implement a law where content creators don't have to be distributing fake news thereby misleading people because I know people easily react to things that aren't true. I know everyone would agree with me that certain content that we find in the online space isn't pleasing to the eyes; sometimes I just sigh and ask, "Why all these?" some of the lifestyle content creators portray on the internet aren't always true.
I think content creators should learn to be original with their content and stop spreading fake news on the internet, thereby misleading people. Thanks to the monetization of social media has made certain people who they are today without having to work physically like others do.
Thanks for reading 🧡
