If you've ever thought "I want to start a social media account but have no idea where to even begin," SAME. Been there.

Messed up a few times too. But after lots of trial (and a lot of error), I finally figured out a beginner-friendly way to launch — and I'm sharing it all with you today!

Step 1: Pick One Platform First

When I first started, I tried posting everywhere — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube... total chaos.

Please don't do what I did. Choose ONE platform you love (or where your audience hangs out most) and get really good there first. For me, it was Instagram because I love posting photos and quick reels!

Step 2: Set a Clear Theme

At first, I posted everything — pets, food, random rants. And guess what? No one cared because it was all over the place.

Once I picked a clear theme — helping new creators — things finally clicked. Pick a niche you actually like (fitness, beauty, memes, books, anything!) and stick to it.

Step 3: Plan Before You Post

I used to just randomly upload stuff when I “felt like it,” and... my account was stuck at 97 followers for MONTHS.

Now I plan content a week ahead. I literally have a simple list:

Monday: Tips post

Wednesday: Behind-the-scenes

Friday: Fun meme or relatable story

Trust me, planning saves your brainpower and keeps your page active without the panic.

Step 4: Focus on Short Videos

Right now, short videos (like reels or shorts) are pure gold.

Even if you're shy, start small. I recorded my first video just showing my desk setup — no face needed! It still got way more views than any photo.

Don't wait till everything's perfect. Post that first video.

Step 5: Be Patient but Consistent

I'll be honest: my first month, I almost gave up 10 times. Growth feels slow at the start.

But once you build a habit — posting 3–4 times a week — it snowballs. One reel popped off for me after 6 weeks and I gained 500 followers in a weekend. Keep going even when it's quiet!

That's my no-gatekeeping beginner guide for starting your media account, Lykkers!

If you're planning to start soon, drop me a "🔥" in the comments! Or if you already have an account, tell me your theme — I wanna hype you up!
