Think about what you're doing and how to apply your content to achieve your goals. Being authentic is not a challenge when you know who and what you are working to accomplish. Content will always be King and Engagement is Queen. Content creators must understand they are their own promoters and their influence can be invaluable to those that share common interests. WordCamp conferences allows / encourages democratizing publishing that everyone has the opportunity to globally share their thoughts, dreams, and desires, their content matters. To be a digital community activist that encourages thinking and in some cases a broad range of collaboration and engagement. Activism should build levels of community bonding and cooperation that like minds influence each other and grow. Empowering, engaging, encouraging, and educating that allow for dynamic growth and sharing of thoughts that create opportunities for empowerment. Define your own success: "Never let the world define your success." The world will try to influence you, make you think particular ways and even have you believing that your not valued or valuable. Be the change that you want to see and create a culture of diversity, embracing the realities of life that we need each other to survive and thrive. We live in a world where information is accessible to the masses, but the masses must know how to apply this knowledge and importantly share it. Be consistent with your content development, every day work to make the words important you share important. If your words are not important to you they will not be important to others.
