Why Being Basic Is Your New Superpower On Social Media

 

Turns out, being perfectly imperfect is exactly what people want to see

Let me tell you something funny.

Last year, I posted a video of myself trying (and failing) to make that viral TikTok coffee drink in my tiny kitchen. I had bed hair, my counter was messy, and I spilled coffee everywhere. I almost didn’t post it.

That video got more views than any of my “perfect” content.

The Truth About Today’s Social Media

Here’s what’s happening:

  • People are tired of fake perfection
  • Nobody believes those “I woke up like this” posts anymore
  • Regular people are becoming more popular than traditional influencers

Why This is Great News For Us

Think about it:

  • You don’t need a fancy camera
  • You don’t need perfect makeup
  • You don’t need an expensive wardrobe
  • You just need to be… you

People love seeing:

Real morning routines (messy hair and all)

Honest money struggles

Actual apartment tours (not just the clean corner)

Real bodies in real clothes

True stories about life’s ups and downs

Remember when I started sharing my money-saving tips? I wasn’t a financial expert — just a girl trying to pay off her credit card. People loved it because:

They were in the same situation

They could actually follow my advice

It wasn’t about getting rich quick

It felt real and doable

The Best Part? You Can Start Today

Just:

  1. Pick up your phone
  2. Share something real from your day
  3. Tell your story like you’re talking to a friend
  4. Don’t worry about being perfect

What to Share

Simple things like:

  • How you organize your week
  • What you actually eat in a day
  • Your job hunting journey
  • Budget shopping trips
  • Real relationship stuff
  • Daily wins and struggles

Why This Works

Because:

  • Everyone’s tired of fake perfection
  • Real life is actually interesting
  • People trust normal people more than celebrities
  • We all want to see someone like us succeeding

Just Remember

  • Be honest
  • Share real stories
  • Don’t try to be perfect
  • Help others along the way

The world doesn’t need another perfect influencer. It needs real people sharing real stories. It needs you.
