<p>For the longest time I've suffered from the fear of being perceived. I didn't like it when people stared at me. Yet, deep down, I wanted to put myself out there.</p><p>I wanted my audience.</p><p>To build my own community.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'll post a video on the Internet and go offline then begin to think and feel cringe about it.</p><p> "Has this person viewed it?"</p><p>" what if they don't like this post?"</p><p> " what if it flops?".</p><p><br/></p><p>These were the thoughts that ran through my mind.</p><p><br/></p><p>But along the line I came to realize that I wasn't only suffering from the fear of being perceived. But I was scared that my post won't go viral and someone else was already doing the same thing I do.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let me tell you something my friends.</p><p><br/></p><p>There was a time I decided to remove all the videos on my TikTok page.</p><p>Why? I felt people were creating alike content already and I won't go viral. If anybody asked me, I'd lie to them that I wanted to start doing something serious on my page that was why I decided to delete my posts.</p><p><br/></p><p>P.s some of them might be reading this now ( smiles in colorful shame).</p><p><br/></p><p>But deep down I was enveloped with the "FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED"</p><p>So I decided to start again to see how far I'll go.

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
