We were lucky to catch up with Ernest Ayayo recently and have shared our conversation below.
Ernest, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What were some of the most unexpected problems you’ve faced in your business and how did you resolve those issues?
One of the most unexpected problems in content creation is Life balance. Life is always unexpected and like a roller coaster. Medical problems like Heart failure and Diabetes have made it hard to pursue content creation. It put me in a long hiatus while I had to recover and even now it makes it hard to find unique things to do for the channel. Thankfully I resolved this by taking time for my health while choosing hobbies that can work with my lifestyle.
Ernest, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am Ernest or 3rn3stTv, an Orlando content creator. I’ve been trying to find my place or niche for my brand and have broken it down to a unified theme. Inspired by Dino Cornel (A Filipino content creator) “The Ultimate Nerd 2.0” My content is simply a showcase of my hobbies and my journey into becoming the next ultimate nerd. Being a fan of gaming,anime,comics, and any fandom you can think of. I want to be the one stop channel of all things nerdy. I’m proud to have talked to creators in many different topics like Art School Dropouts who especially in indie action films and 2Crakdgg.. A tactical Airsoft/Gaming channel. As well as many other content creators I’ve gained connections with. Stay tuned for this rebrand.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I build my social media brand through exploring hobbies and finding an overlapping theme on most of them. Having an overlapping theme like Progression could involve… a Competitive FPS rank up journey or Fitness vlog. My social media brand grew through making content on IRL and virtual improvement. My best advice to new content creators make content with a theme or niche in mind. It increases discoverability and gives you enough authority on the theme.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
While I was making content and working on myself. I overworked myself and led to the health problems I mentioned like Heart failure and diabetes. The long hiatus of recovery and healing from a hospital bed really left me defeated for a while. But as I recovered, I thought to myself, I’m still here now. So it’s best to make the most of it. Despite my health conditions, I continued to making content on my passion giving me a reason to get better. I’m a lot healthier than in the past. The only way to go is up!
