Hey there, Danny here, your favourite alabaster bin bag full of chocolate.
I want an excuse to get back into writing more longform content. I used to write theatre reviews back when shows were happening in Cardiff. I’m told they still are, but not much culture reaches my impenetrable fortress of offbrand wotzits and caffiene at the moment.
In the spirit of giving this whole YouTube thing a bit more a shot than usual a few things have occoured to me, the first being that having a social media precense helps, and the second being that social media is hard.
I’m often inspired by the way that other people use social media, especially people using it better than me, which is everyone. So i’m going to gush about some of the ways some of the people in the ASMR community use their platform and how it inspires me to be better;
Articulate Design is an absolute twitter god and I have absolutely no idea how he does it. Every time I see a post he is there and saying something so lovely I want to give him a hug. It could be anything and he’ll be there being lovely. He’s always so supportive of everyone and it often inspires me to be less grumpy and more active on twitter, as the world needs more people like him.
I was struggling what to do with my Instagram stories recently, I often just share absolute shitpost memes fom the one million meme accounts I follow, but I realise I should probably be promoting the channel. Every time I click on ShiverMeTingles instagram story it’s always so solid - awesome selfie, professional picture, patron plug. It’s wonderfully well crafted. It’s a level of understanding what the channel audience want and respond to that I absolutely don’t have for my audience. Shiver inspires me to get better with my story posting and to understand my social audience better.
I’m not going to mention this next user because it would appear like I was starting beef when I am absolutely not. There are some people in the community that use twitter the same way mums used it in 2009 and vaugeing into the void much to the apparent concern of their supporters asking what’s wrong every three tweets and them never responding. I think Im a little too self aware to do this sort of content, but this person also has THOUSANDS of followers so maybe im doing something wrong and i’ll just start, every few tweets, making people concerned for my mental and physical wellbeing.
I wrote this all whilst listening to Celaine’s ASMR’s latest TMI Nurse video - I am obsessed with her and this series at the moment, I love it when someone is so effortlessly hillarious and charismatic.
That’s enough gushing for this evening, goodnight everyone!
