A TikTok influencer, Vishwas Patil thinks that knowing your audience right gives you a bigger advantage to create and curate content and thrive in the business.
Out of the million creators on TikTok, Vishwas Patil, with 44.1 k followers on Instagram claims to have made his mark in the audiences' hearts through his videos and acting skills. The TikToke-r has a couple of fan pages too dedicated to him.
In conversation with Social Samosa, Patil spills the beans behind his loyal fan following, the journey to becoming a social media creator, content creation, and making money.
Looking back, where did it all begin?
It was quite random and started from nowhere. I was looking for something to kill my boredom and then thought of creating a few videos like I had seen while browsing my Instagram.
I believe that the name should be simple yet appealing. I should give a hint of either your personality or your video content. I mostly like to work with my name.
What is your USP in this cluttered space? How does your content give you an edge?
I started enjoying creating videos and then I researched and studied other creators' videos, their content. I learned things, and they became smooth for me. I entertain my viewers with my acting skills, and I try to make them laugh by creating vines sometimes.
Please take us through your content creation process. How do you stay relevant and relatable?
As I answered in question 3, I observe things. Gradually I have started knowing my viewers. I know what they want from me. Yes, I experiment with my content, sounds, backgrounds, and co-actors. If I’m making music videos, I go with the trend. For Bollywood or dialogue stuff I concentrate on my expressions., and for the blog, I look after what my audience would like to watch.
Frankly speaking, I didn’t know I can make anything with my creativity, but eventually, I got exposure to this platform. I started realizing that my efforts need little financial support as well. I make a little money from some events or brand sponsorship, and likewise, it covers my expenses.
How do you maintain editorial objectivity with the influx of brand briefs?
It’s funny but I google a lot, plus my friends are awesome creatures, they keep me updating with the trend. They suggest things. Moreover, I have few contacts that bring brands to me, I analyze the brand and objects deeply and if I feel that my family and audience will appreciate it., I go for that brand/object.
One instance/experience that made it all worthwhile
Who doesn’t like few words of appreciation from a well-known face! What exactly happened to me. I still remember, I have created a video and Swapnil Joshi, Amruta Khanwilkar, Sruti Marathe, Hemangi Kavi have said nicest things to me & that motivated me a lot.
Weirdest brand brief/request ever
Gender switch
is not so for me, I personally feel uncomfortable with this concept, so I won’t
say weird but yes, one of my viewers requested a video with this concept and I
had to deny.
If not blogging, you would be?
If not blogging... I would be a teacher. I feel I have a good conviction of power. I love to help people with my good knowledge, and I strongly believe that I’m capable of it.
Would be full of hustle and bustle, but joyful and you won’t regret to spend one with me, or living one of mine
Message/tips for upcoming bloggers
