Day in the Life of an "Influencer" | What I do as a Content Creator

good morning guys i'm just getting ready to get some content today hello changing i was making my day a little bit more interesting and let's go take some pictures here i have on my gymshark adapt black outfit on small bottoms and medium top and the color coconut white this is basically what taking pictures looks like for me on a good day we'll only have to spend five to ten minutes on each outfit but on not so good days it can definitely be a lot longer than that and this is what the finished product looks like i'll do all my picture editing on the phone using the adobe lightroom app here we're at a different spot with a different outfit this is the gymshark adapt animal collection i have on now medium tops and bottoms in the color cord blue you guys already know that if you guys ever want to pick anything up from gymshark shop to your girls link to help support me and let gymshark know that i sent you and then this was the final product for this outfit i have one edited and the other one wrong all right guys good afternoon jj and i just got back from um what kind of got package excuse me from getting i'm shooting some pictures i just wore two different outfits two different gym shark outfits um and because initially what had happened was that i had taken pictures for with the outfits but then i thought they looked good then when i transfer them to my phone which i'm going to do right now um like these are just not giving me to give and like i don't think that every picture always has to be perfect but sometimes just like girl like what's going on with your face you can fix your face you know kind of a thing so yeah anyways and so so we're finally like vlogging because we finally got a vlogging camera yay so super excited about that so that's why we were also able to shoot with this camera because usually i shoot everything on this camera this camera here panasonic gx85 you can see yeah you can see the name there if you wanted to pick it up and so literally since we started doing like youtube and social media or since i began creating content back in like 2017-ish this is the camera that we've been using the entire setup what i'm doing now is transfer the pictures we just took on this camera onto my phone because i don't like to look on the pictures on the camera on the camera because they're just so small so we have a lot of content we need to get today like i had all the content that i needed for the rest of this month ready to go before we left before chicago but then sometimes like things happen deadlines change sometimes i get send new stuff and brands want me to like they want the content sooner sooner than later kind of a day and then like my original schedule can just like get messed up and whatnot so i feel like as much as i tried to pan out my fruit pan like my all my content and my schedule and my my calendar and stuff like that sometimes the universe is like nope we're going to switch it up on you forget everything you thought that you were going to do this month um you're going to do something completely different so yeah i also filmed this story here while i waited for takers to transfer just talking about gymshark's friends and family event even though stories are only a few seconds or minutes long they can definitely take a few hours to film edit ad text etc so transfer pictures is taking a little bit longer than um i thought it was going to so i'm up here on my computer just looking through my emails it's just to me what i least like about being a content creator is the clerical work that i have to do this is i just feel like it's so time consuming so let's see here we have this is a good one it says hi team naomi helpless even fancy well and then they talk about their campaign that they want to do so they want to include me and they talk about the terms deliverables etc and then they ask me for my rates which is a very standard email so this person i'll be sending over my media kit my rates so this other one it didn't go through we weren't able to meet in the middle which is completely fine um you know not every i would say that 99 of the opportunities and inquiries that i get to collab with me never go through sorry please excuse the audio because um we did order a mic to go with this camera except it didn't come in the same time that the camera did which it was supposed to but it did i go back and forth but like telling myself i need to like hire someone to go through my emails with me go through my english for me um or like hiring some kind of management company or like an agent or whatnot but at the same time i don't like emails but what i do love doing one of my favorite parts about my job i can honestly say is negotiating brand deals i know a lot of people they don't that's the part that they hate the most and that's why they will hire a management team but to me it's like i would love to have a management team so that i can so that i don't have to deal with the emails that i don't want to deal with but when it comes to negotiating brand deals oh like that gives me so much advice like there's something about that i just like i just i love doing that so much anyways what i was trying to say is that i usually spend about i would say like an hour every day going through emails sometimes like maths too but yeah so all of that information you guys probably you did not ask for and you did not need to know but maybe you'll find it helpful okay anyways i am going to edit my pictures now and and then we'll get back to everything else after emails and transferring pictures check and i have found a reel for sarah doing a little no keto cocktail featuring sarah's glow glitter hydration and the flavor glow keto this one took us about an hour to film and about two to three hours to edit actually probably longer because we had to refilm this one because i discovered while i was trying to edit this video that one of our clips was never recorded so i was missing a small piece to my final edit which i honestly could have gone without but my perfectionist self said no so we had to re-film a few parts of this real another day to make matters even better changing had accidentally thrown out the shaker that i had been using in the real so we had to go out and buy another one so if you watch it real closely you'll notice that the cocktail shaker changes throughout the video but it is what it is sometimes gotta roll with the punches and this is what it turned out like me [Music] i also decided to film another story for sarah talking about the nojito cocktail which you can see me doing here before doing any of this though i have to make sure i have everything i need to successfully and seamlessly produce all this content planning out how i want the final product to look like and how i need to film it in order to get what i want transitions music sound effects framing product placement buying ingredients coordinating outfit and hair aesthetically pleasing cups and straws to put the drinks in lighting natural or artificial timing my content with the rest of my schedule if i want to use natural light and setting up my artificial lights if you're not able to film during the day and so much more all the stuff i plan out for each piece of content i put out before i film and i see how i can most efficiently get as much content as i can back to back in one or two days so that we can easily go from creating one piece of content to another with this few hiccups and so that it is as stressless as possible after this we headed to the gym where i filmed again not me filming myself filming but that is how it goes i used to film basically every single one of my workouts but then i stopped doing that because i felt like it was interfering with my workouts i was basically working while i was working out which sometimes made my workouts more stressful the opposite of what anyone wants and i just wanted to be able to work out while i was at the gym and not have to worry about filming and getting content so these days i typically set aside specific days to film the gym so don't interrupt my workouts or change hands when i need him to film me or we plan our workouts to go during low traffic times of the day so easily film and not get people in the background or make people uncomfortable with us filming i really do try to get as little of people in the background of my videos as possible because it truly just makes my life harder when i'm editing because blurring out one person's face can literally take an hour or two and if i have to do that for multiple people throughout my video it can add on hours and hours of unnecessary work time to my schedule all right guys so we are back at home now we filmed my workout at the gym and i'm so disappointed in myself because i was supposed to film that for instagram and youtube but then i completely forgot to film for instagram as well um because typically what i like to do is instagram you know it's just an overview and then with youtube i go more in depth with like form tips etc it's fine um i'm just gonna record one of my other workouts this week so that i can have that for instagram so anyways i'm going to do a little bit of editing and a little bit more work on my computer right now right now i'm working on the 437 activewear haul i'll show you guys really quick but i use to edit this here it looks like when i'm editing um i use adobe premiere pro this is yes that is what a full day of work looks like for me and specifically specifically for when for the days i'm getting content and so since we actually weren't able to get everything that we wanted to get done today because i had a shipment that was supposed to come in while we were out of town but then it wasn't delivered so i have to go to the post office and go grab it and so um so again there's always like things that like don't go as planned um and so i'm gonna have to push that content out to this weekend so i think this friday or saturday i will spend the morning getting more content um some more stuff getting some more pictures etc so i can get back on schedule i am a pretty open book so if you have any questions about my work or just being a content creator in general just drop a comment down below also let me know if you guys enjoyed this style of video i know of really i really don't vlog this is something that i'm still like getting uh i'm still working on i'm practicing um being in front of the camera in this way so that's pretty much it i'm gonna stop talking now because i've talked way too much if you've made it throughout this whole entire video and you're not subscribed or you haven't liked the video yet make sure to do both and if you're not sick and tired of me yet you should also like me on facebook and follow me on instagram thanks so much again you guys for taking the time on your day to come out
