We were lucky to catch up with JeNea Smith recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, JeNea thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?

My journey into content creation began with a love for watching YouTube videos instead of traditional television shows. This sparked my interest in editing photos and videos, prompting me to pick up my phone and dive into the world of content creation. As I spent countless hours honing my skills through self-teaching and experimentation, my passion for creating content only grew stronger.

When the pandemic hit, I found myself riding the TikTok wave, learning how to edit quicker videos and gaining insights into social media analytics. What started as a casual hobby soon transformed into a full-fledged passion, driven by my dedication and curiosity. The several viral videos also helped with a boost of confidence.

The idea for my creative services business emerged naturally from my own journey. I realized that there was a demand for high-quality content creation and editing services, and I had the skills and expertise to meet that demand. My confidence in my abilities grew as I saw the positive feedback and engagement on my own content.

Emotionally, I felt a sense of fulfillment and excitement at the prospect of turning my passion into a sustainable business venture. Despite the uncertainties, I am driven by the belief that my unique perspective and dedication to quality would set myself apart in the competitive landscape of content creation.

In terms of logic, I saw a growing market for digital content creation and recognized the value of my skills in meeting that demand. I am confident in my ability to succeed because I had already proven my capabilities through my own successful content creation journey. With a combination of passion, skill, and market insight, I knew that launching a creative services business was not only worthwhile but also a logical next step in your career.

JeNea, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Absolutely! I’m a content creator who fell in love with editing photos and videos through watching YouTube videos instead of regular TV shows. This passion led me to pick up my camera and dive into the world of content creation. Over time, I taught myself how to edit videos and refine my skills in editing photos. During the pandemic, I joined the TikTok wave, where I learned to edit quicker videos and understand social media analytics.

Now, I offer a range of creative services including editing, photo editing, video editing, and content idea creation. I solve problems for clients by helping them bring their creative vision to life, whether it’s through polishing their videos, enhancing their photos, or brainstorming engaging content ideas. What sets me apart is my blend of passion, skill, and adaptability. I’m deeply committed to delivering high-quality work that exceeds my clients’ expectations.

I’m most proud of my ability to turn my passion into a thriving business that helps others elevate their own content. Potential clients should know that I’m dedicated to their success and will go above and beyond to deliver results they’re proud of. Whether it’s crafting compelling visuals or generating innovative content ideas, I’m here to bring their creative vision to fruition.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

For me, the most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the ability to bring dreams and ideas to life. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been a vivid dreamer, imagining colorful and intricate stories. Being able to translate those dreams into tangible creations, whether it’s through editing photos and videos or brainstorming content ideas, is incredibly fulfilling. Moreover, being able to use my creativity to help others and make a positive impact adds an extra layer of satisfaction to my work. It’s a privilege to have a platform where I can share my imagination and contribute to the creative landscape.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Building an audience on social media was an unexpected journey for me, sparked by a random decision to join TikTok during the pandemic. As I started posting content about my life and interests, one video unexpectedly went viral, capturing the attention of viewers and kickstarting my social media presence. However, it was a video featuring my fur son, Hendrix, a 7 lb toy poodle, that truly catapulted my online presence.

In 2021, I shared a video of Hendrix when he was just 8 weeks old, and to my amazement, it quickly gained traction, reaching an astounding 8.5 million views on TikTok. This viral moment became a turning point, as it significantly boosted my follower count and engagement. From then on, I continued to share content featuring Hendrix, as well as other aspects of my life, building a loyal and engaged audience along the way.

For those just starting to build their social media presence, my advice would be to stay authentic and consistent. Share content that reflects your passions, interests, and personality, as this genuine connection resonates with viewers. Additionally, consistency is key—regularly post content to keep your audience engaged and interested in what you have to share. And finally, don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things—sometimes, unexpected moments, like featuring a furry friend, can lead to incredible opportunities for growth.
