2. Pick 4 social media channels. What type of content are you good at  creating. Video, writing, or audio. Answer: Facebook, YouTube, linked in, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Wechat.
3. Create a content strategy. What content of value will make people eager to follow you?  Answer: video editing tips and camera accessory tips. 
4. Prepare content three months in advance.
5. Publish content daily and consistently.
6. Contact people and brands in the same industry.  Like, comment, communicate with them. Be seen and noted.
7. Invite people to your community. Find people from forums, groups, fan pages, etc. related to the same industry.
