Given the ease with which one can post content on social media, it\u2019s no surprise that many think being an online content producer is an easy job.<\/p>

But the profession is no bed of roses<\/a>, says content creator SGT (NS) Fauzi Aziz, who gained a following while working for local travel and lifestyle platform The Smart Local (TSL).<\/p>

\u201cMany people think this job is just about posting videos and photos and making money out of it. But there\u2019s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes,\u201d explains the 34-year-old, who served his National Service at the Singapore Civil Defence Force\u2019s technology department, and now volunteers<\/a> with the HomeTeamNS Branding and Publicity committee.<\/p>

\u201cBesides planning the content and finding the right people to help produce it, you also have to network and scour for business opportunities, negotiate with clients and manage finances. You’re basically a one-man production house!\u201d<\/p>

Today, Fauzi may be considered a micro-influencer, having notched some 25,000 followers on Instagram. But it wasn\u2019t always the career he\u2019d envisioned for himself.<\/p>

Born to civil-servant parents, Fauzi aspired to become a dentist, though he eventually realised he did not have an aptitude for the sciences. He was, however, fascinated with the arts and the English language. This led him to pursue a degree in theatre studies at the National University of Singapore, though he later gravitated towards the media industry.<\/p>\n

Upon graduation, he spent six months applying for various publishing roles while working part-time. Finally, in 2014, he accepted an internship at TSL.  <\/p>\n

While TSL was then a fledgling start-up which \u2013 some may argue \u2013 did not provide the same level of security as a more established organisation, Fauzi relished the opportunity to contribute to the company\u2019s growth. This is something he has accomplished, having eventually been hired as one of the firm\u2019s full-time producers. Today, TSL Media Group is a multi-platform media tech company that reportedly has more than 200 million annual page views across its content channels.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a fulfilling journey for Fauzi. Over the past eight years, he has worked in various departments where he picked up skills in events management, marketing and social media content production. He\u2019s also hosted several productions, including The $100 Nomad<\/em>, a reality show produced by TSL and broadcast on Mediacorp’s Channel 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a major milestone for the company,\u201d says Fauzi, in reference to the programme that challenged contestants to live on S$100 for three days.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was rare to see something like this (an independently produced show) make it onto national television. I really enjoyed the process. It was probably the most exciting project I got to work on at TSL,\u201d he recounts.<\/p>\n

Having parted ways with TSL Media Group earlier this year, he\u2019s struck out on his own as an independent content creator. One of the main reasons he says, is the desire to mentor young content creators and help them advance their careers.<\/p>

It\u2019s the same spirit of altruism that compelled him to become a HomeTeamNS volunteer<\/a>. Here, he advises the marketing and communications team on social media best practices. \u201cIt\u2019s honestly always a pleasure to be able to use my skills and experience to help brands, especially since social media is something that I live and breathe. It\u2019s also very heartening to know that people take my advice seriously!\u201d he quips, before adding that volunteering has also contributed to his personal growth.<\/p>

He\u2019s also happy to share his tips with those looking to carve out careers as content creators. He says that anyone can be a content creator, with a good dose of self-motivation. \u201cLearning how to use your smartphone creatively for video and photography is easy. There\u2019s just so much information on the Internet. I\u2019ve learned a lot about video editing just by watching YouTube tutorials.\u201d<\/p>

Age is not a barrier to success either. One example of this, says Fauzi, is Uncle Raymond, the lanky sexagenarian who rose to fame after TikTok videos of him dancing in public went viral.<\/p>

He asserts that aspiring content creators should always try to be original and true to themselves. \u201cI think the best way to go about it is to show things from your perspective. Don’t try to copy anyone else,\u201d he advises.<\/p>

But above all, he says that content creators should always possess interpersonal skills. \u201cI never knew how important forming connections is until recently, when many of my past acquaintances reached out to inquire about collaborations,\u201d he shares.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve noticed that many younger creators don\u2019t really bother about talking to potential clients, including brand representatives. It is imperative to build relationships and leave a good impression, because someone you interact with might be signing your next pay cheque!\u201d<\/p>
