Most of the time, the reason you are glued to your phone or compelled to purchase a product is because you are seeing great content.
A recent Jobberman research concluded that about 4 million Nigerians create content of different forms. Business owners and entrepreneurs have come to understand the importance of good content and what it does to their enterprise. This only explains that content creators are a big deal and proper encouragement can serve as fuel to keep them going in their craft. Whether you run an organization or you have a friend or family who is a content creator and you want to support them in 2024, we’ve got ideas for you!
Choose any of these to gift a content creator
You don’t have to break the bank to give your support and that is why we’ve created this affordable list:
Props
This works perfectly for visual content creators, whether this person makes videos or takes pictures of items, the essence of using props is to enhance and enrich the visual storytelling aspect of their creations. Props are never too much as they have depth, context, and interest in the content. Props can come in different forms depending on what you are creating; they can be everyday objects or specialized items tailored to the specific narrative or theme. Also, they can be versatile and this makes it even easier to use.
Ring/LED light
The beauty that light causes is a lot, especially for content creators. The ring or LED light (depending on what you can afford) is like a silent collaborator. It is more than just the brightness because it brings life to whatever you are creating at any point in time. While natural light does some magic too, some situations can call for using a ring or LED light to make sure that the quality of the content is appealing.
Microphone
A good microphone picks up all the little details, feelings, and the vibe of the moment. It takes regular talking or background sounds and turns them into a really cool audio experience. This helps take the audience right into the middle of the creator’s story, making them feel more connected and involved. This already explains how valuable a content creator will find a “microphone gift.”
Premium Editing Apps
After taking pictures, and recording videos or sounds, it is very important to put in some editing to make them look and sound even better. That’s where premium editing apps come in. These apps are like magic tools that allow creators to polish and enhance their content in amazing ways. Some of these apps are paid, so if you volunteer to pay for any of these apps for a content creator, you are giving them a big encouragement.
Phone/Camera Tripods
Content creators who make videos most of the time can do so easily using camera or phone tripods. These handy tools are like a steady pair of hands that hold the camera or phone in place, making it way easier for video creators. With a tripod, creators can film themselves or capture scenes without the hassle of shaky footage. It keeps the camera or phone stable, ensuring smooth and professional-looking videos. Plus, it frees up the creator’s hands to focus on the content they’re making, without worrying about holding the device. If you are lost about what to give your content creator friend in the coming year, a phone/camera tripod works.
A simple piece of furniture
For content creators who sit or mostly do their stuff in an apartment, a piece of furniture goes a long way to set things in motion. It’s not just about having a place to sit; it’s about creating a dedicated space that sparks productivity and creativity. A desk provides a stable surface for a laptop, camera, or other equipment, making it easier to work efficiently. Pair it with a comfortable chair, and creators can settle in for long editing sessions or brainstorming ideas without discomfort.
There are several tools and equipment that content creators use and need. But, not to be lost in the ton of options, we’ve culled out these few ones that can mean a lot to them when they are gifted.
