【Self-employed Creator】 is a highly stressful job.😰 😓💦
You need to be prepared to deal with unexpected situations at any time, and you always feel mentally strained.
Here are 5 major points:
😵1. Social media platforms (being blocked, banned, policies constantly changing)
😓2. Printed products (cutting errors, color deviation)
😭3. Shipping and logistics (delivery date cannot be met as expected, factory sent to the wrong address, lost shipment)
🤢4. Collaboration partners (sewing and prop masters disappear, delays for various reasons, leading to the need for backup plans)
😱5. Product communication (various feedback and problem reports from fans after the product is shipped)
--------------------------------------------
In addition, self-employed creators need to perform multiple roles alone.
They need to have a general understanding of the production, marketing, and management stages in order to think of various solutions immediately when problems arise.
After all, they can only rely on themselves, unlike companies where others can share the workload, and you only need to focus on production.
---------------------------------
I hope to let more people understand that "self-employed creators" are not as easy, free, and glamorous as they seem on the surface.
As for my own situation, I also need to take medication to relieve my mental stress in order to cope with this kind of pressure in the long run.
Thank you again for the support of everyone who has supported me. 😭🥰🙏❤️
