Being a full time content creator wasn’t always on my life bingo card, but here we are. You could say it was a natural progression.

I always had a deep fascination with social media and consumer behaviour, loved consuming content myself, pop culture and soaking up all things trending (memes included). I studied marketing and media at uni which followed with lots of internships and jobs in that realm.

Fast forward to today I make a living as a full-time content creator/influencer/social media consultant/writer. For this article, let's just focus on the content creator part, because I get A LOT of questions about that side of my job.

I use my platforms on both Instagram and TikTok to share what I love – primarily fashion, food and travel. I also aim to spark conversations within the fashion industry. Having a bust size of a 10G meant that growing up, it sucked to not see my body represented in a more accessible way online. So above all else, I strive to use my platform as a way to spread positivity and normalise wearing whatever it is you want, regardless of size.

By extension, this has led me to be able to work with some of my favourite Australian and global brands.

What’s the crazy part in all this? I film a good chunk of my content all in the comfort of my own home. Along with the editing and uploading process. The whole shebang.

So as you can imagine, having killer WiFi is a non-negotiable for me. Not to be dramatic and all, but my livelihoodisdependent on having reliable internet at home.

IYKYK, the Optus’ Ultra WiFi Modem checks all the boxes. It's powered by the latest (seriously fast) next gen WiFi 6 technology. No matter what corner of the house I'm filming or editing in, it's always so reliable.

I have fact checked this as I live with my brother who is a full-time video editor… and gamer. Working (and gaming) from home, he too, relies on our trusty high-speed internet. This modem means we a) have strong coverage with no lag and b) don’t have to "compete" when we're both online (which leads to a more harmonious family unit all round – a big win, win for mum).

Anyways, now that we have the basics covered: here are the most common questions I get asked about being a content creator…

Is it really a job? Like what do you actuallydo?

Despite a lot of distant relatives at family functions eye-rolling when they hear it is what I do, my job is a job, because well I get paid.

I create social media content for brands, in video, photo and written format. A typical process looks like this: I get briefed by the brand about what the main messaging behind their campaign is.

I then go to the drawing board, and come up with the creative direction to conceptualise my idea for the content. Once I get sign off from the brand, I will then be able to execute and bring the vision to life.

I provide detailed storyboards and undergo filming. This is where I put on my modelling, stylist, producer and director hat – because it is just me, myself and I. Final part includes editing the content along with any post production additions such as voiceovers, text overlay, and so forth.

How would you describe the type of content you post?

I am prone to oversharing on the internet, because I find it's best to keep it real. From talking about how difficult it can be to find a bra that actually supports the girls, or how stepping into a shopping centre feels so discouraging when you aren’t a size 6, or my personal fave – how jean shopping just isn't it.

In the mix of all that, I also post stuff that I simply just enjoy. Whether that’s an outfit combination I can wear day to night, a new food spot in Sydney I can’t stop thinking about or just recently, my holiday itinerary to Vietnam.

What does a typical day in your life look like?

Each day is different and certainly not always glamorous. There are times when it feels like 90 per cent of the gig is admin. Emails, meetings, phone calls, decoding content briefs – mixed in with last minute changes and deadlines – essentially thinking of tasks that I can do while wearing sweatpants.

Other days we switch it up. I could have back-to-back brand events, full days of content filming and other IRL duties.

I enjoy the fact that each
