Let’s talk about 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙉𝙏.

In today’s scenario, content refers to anything posted or shared with others on online platforms which includes short-form videos such as those of Tiktok’s and IG reels, photos, captions, etc.—you get the idea. It is not only content creators that put out content, but also you. And of course, your small business owner friends.

Are you annoyed or are you proud of them?

𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

Your small business owner friends do not put out content just for the sake of selling or posting. Each of them have different goals when creating and posting.

The story poll you come across on their IG—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵.

The daily storytelling on posts—𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝘀.

The call to action asking you to comment or share your own experience---𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

So the next time you may feel the urge to get annoyed because your small business owner friend keeps putting content out there, please think again. There could be something that you do not see or understand yet. It might just be that they are doing their best to grow their business and reach their dreams.

To us, small business owners, content is meaningful and vital to our business.
