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
