We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kelly Hanlon a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Kelly , appreciate you joining us today. The first dollar you earn is always exciting – it’s like the start of a new chapter and so we’d love to hear about the first time you sold or generated revenue from your creative work?
The first time I received revenue was this year on 1/27. I was emailed by Facebook inviting me to the bonus reels play program. My first few hours I think I made like 20 bucks. I felt on top of the world. I did a solo victory dance in my room alone. Felt so great to finally have my content recognized. It was empowering.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I am an inspired content creator for fun. I also work in the health care field for my 9-5 job. I got into content creating in 2014. It all started with a love for photography which began when I was a very young child. I loved taking pictures and capturing everything that was either visually appealing, or interesting to me. I eventually created Eyecandyland with the idea of sharing everything that I wanted and having no limits to what might be posted. One day I could be posting self-care content, to the next day a new candy review, recipe, or even a family outing. You never know what content may show up on Eyecandyland, and the possibilities are endless. I don’t want the fun to end. I am most proud of being able to start to make a small amount of revenue on the Facebook Meta platform. Aside from Facebook, I am also on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. I also have an Amazon Storefront where I showcase my favorite products, so you can purchase them as well.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
I would say the most rewarding part of being a creative is when someone reaches out and tells me something that I posted inspired them, or they tried and or purchased it and loved it.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I built and am still currently building my audience by consistently posting every day and interacting with all my followers. I believe consistency is key with social media and building your following.
