As a content creator manageing a full-fledged Instagram blog with my sister, I've learned that organisation is a key ingredient to the success of our business. Behind all the glitz and glam, there's a lot of time spent communicating via email, scheduling photographers or executing photo shoots ourselves, writing long to-do lists, signing contracts, filing expenses, and more. As such, cool tech or a useful tool that helps us achieve our goals is a game changer. Of course, decor pieces that photograph well also help. But as the work can get pretty stressful, often requiring that we be on our phones around the clock, taking breaks or doing other things I love helps me unwind.
You might know someone who also runs a content-creation business. If you're looking to support them during this busy holiday season, think about ways to enhance their daily routines or provide healthy distractions. I've curated a list of gifts for you ahead.
