Common Challenges Solo Creators Face

There are plenty of challenges solo creators face each and every day when creating content. From shooting and editing videos by wearing all the hats it takes to create and publish content.

Successful marketing today requires more than just a sharp eye for trends and an understanding of the market. Marketing is a complex skill set that involves creativity, research, data analysis, and much more.

Readers and social media users have a short attention span. If a post has a high word count, it's likely to be ignored. For example, Facebook's news feed has an upper limit of around 650 words. Twitter’s limit is even less at 280. It's important to focus on clear, concise content that will get your message across in just one or two sentences at the most.
