Level Up Your Social Media for Content Creation

Thinking about diving into content creation using your old social media profiles? Whether it’s Facebook, YouTube, Phisk, or X (formerly Twitter), the first step is to clean up your digital presence and make it creator-ready. Here’s a practical guide to get your account looking sharp and professional—no matter the platform.

1. Update Your Display Name

Let’s be honest: names like Cutie Bella or Mhiz Sky might’ve been cute in 2016, but it’s time for an upgrade.

Use your real name or a clear, professional alias. It instantly adds credibility and makes it easier for people (and potential brands) to find and remember you. Whether you're on Facebook, Phisk, or X—consistency matters.

2. Craft a Clear, Purposeful Bio

Your bio is your elevator pitch. People decide in seconds whether to follow you based on what they see there. So ditch vague or outdated bios like "Lover of peace. Haters back off." and replace them with something that explains your content clearly.

Examples:

Baker | Easy, tasty recipes every week

Virtual Assistant | Helping small businesses grow

Lifestyle Creator | Sharing everyday magic + routines

Keep it short, clear, and targeted to your niche.

3. Upgrade Your Profile Picture

No more blurry Snapchat selfies. Your profile photo is part of your personal brand—make it count. You don’t need a professional photographer, but aim for:

Good lighting (natural light works best)

A clean background

A clear shot of your face

Clothes that reflect your vibe or niche

This applies across all platforms—your image should be recognizable from YouTube thumbnails to Phisk reels.

4. Tidy Up Your Profile Settings

Before you start posting, make sure your profile is set up to support your goals.

Make your profile public so new followers can view your content

Enable post review to avoid being tagged in random or off-brand content

Clean up your timeline by removing irrelevant or outdated posts and photos

You want your page to reflect your current brand and focus, not a random mix of old memes and college party pics.

5. Keep These Two Things in Mind:

Authenticity matters: Be yourself, but with intention. People follow people, not robots.

Consistency wins: Post regularly, but don’t burn yourself out. A content calendar can help.

Final Thoughts

Starting content creation doesn’t mean starting over—it means working with what you’ve got and improving it. These small but powerful tweaks will help you present yourself as a serious creator, attract the right audience, and feel confident showing up online.

You’ve got the tools—now go make your presence known.
