How I'm Getting Consistent Again as a Content Creator

Over the last few months, I haven’t been showing up online the way I used to.

After my dad passed away, creating content became one of the last things on my mind. I didn’t feel like getting dressed, putting together outfits, filming videos, or thinking about algorithms. I simply needed space to grieve.

But after taking that step back, I started noticing something.

The more I stopped posting, the more my affiliate income slowed down.

That wasn’t because affiliate marketing stopped working. It was because I stopped showing up consistently.

So instead of waiting until I “feel motivated” again, I’ve decided to challenge myself.

For the next 75 days, I’m committing to showing up every single day as a content creator while still working my full-time 9-to-5 job.

This isn’t about going viral.

This isn’t about posting perfectly.

It’s about rebuilding the habits that helped me create an online business in the first place.

Why I’m starting this challenge

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that consistency is what builds momentum.

When I was consistently sharing outfits, sneakers, and products I genuinely loved, affiliate marketing became a reliable stream of income for me.

But when I stopped posting consistently, my income reflected that almost immediately.

Instead of being upset about it, I decided to take responsibility.

Whenever I feel like I’ve fallen off in an area of my life, I like creating a challenge for myself.

Last year, I completed a personal finance challenge that helped me get my finances back on track.

This time, it’s my content business that needs attention.

Why I chose 75 days instead of 30

Some people can build a habit in 30 days.

I’m not one of them.

For me, I need more time to settle into a routine before it feels natural.

Seventy-five days gives me enough time to stop relying on motivation and start relying on habits instead.

By the end of this challenge, I don’t want posting content to feel like something I have to do.

I want it to become part of my everyday life again.

My goal isn’t just to make more money

Of course, I would love for my affiliate income to grow during this challenge.

Who wouldn’t?

But that’s actually not my biggest goal.

My biggest goal is becoming consistent again.

Because I know from experience that when I consistently create content, the income eventually follows.

That’s been true throughout my entire creator journey.

My 75-day content challenge rules

I’m keeping this challenge intentionally simple.

Every single day for 75 days, I will:

Post on one short-form platform

For me, that’s Facebook.

Facebook has become one of my favorite platforms because I’m already monetized there through the Facebook Content Monetization Program.

That means I’m earning from the content itself while also sharing affiliate products I genuinely use.

Instead of overthinking every post, I’m focusing on sharing real moments from my everyday life.

Things like:

What I’m wearing
What I’m cooking
Products I’m using
Home finds
Sneakers
Fashion
Lifestyle moments

Sometimes simple content performs the best.

That’s actually the same strategy I use whenever I buy new clothes. Instead of creating one piece of content and moving on, I turn one purchase into multiple opportunities to earn affiliate income. I shared my entire process in my guide, The 5-Step Content System I Use Every Time I Buy Clothes.

Post on one long-form platform

My second platform is Pinterest.

A lot of creators overlook Pinterest, but I’ve realized something recently.

Some of my Pinterest pins from years ago are still bringing me traffic today.

That’s something short-form content simply can’t do.

Pinterest gives me the opportunity to drive traffic to:

My blog posts
My YouTube videos
My LTK storefront
My affiliate links

That’s one of the biggest reasons Pinterest is one of my focus platforms during this challenge. If you’re curious about exactly how I use Pinterest to drive traffic to my affiliate links, I break down my entire strategy in this YouTube video.

Why I’m focusing on evergreen content

One of the biggest shifts I’m making is spending more time creating content that continues working long after I publish it.

Short-form content is amazing.

But let’s be honest…

Most of it disappears after a day or two.

That’s why I want to intentionally build more content around:

Blog posts

My blog gives me a place to expand on my thoughts while earning through display ads, affiliate links, and long-term Google traffic.

Pinterest acts like a search engine instead of a traditional social platform.

That means content can continue bringing traffic for months, even years.

YouTube

Some of my YouTube videos still receive views long after they’ve been published.

That’s exactly the kind of content I want to keep creating.

This challenge is bigger than content

If you’ve been following my journey, you know my goal isn’t just to make affiliate income.

My bigger goal is financial freedom.

I currently work a full-time job, but I don’t want to work until traditional retirement age.

After losing both of my parents earlier than expected, it’s made me think differently about time.

I want more flexibility.

More freedom.

More choices.

Building multiple income streams through content is one of the ways I’m working toward that goal.

Every blog post…

Every YouTube video…

Every Pinterest pin…

Every affiliate commission…

It’s all helping me build the life I’m working toward. I recently shared exactly how I’m resetting my finances for the rest of the year in my July Budget Reset.

What I’m sharing during the challenge

Throughout these 75 days, I’ll be documenting everything.

The wins.

The struggles.

The lessons.

I’ll be sharing:

Before you go

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you don’t have to be perfect to build a successful content business.

You just have to keep showing up.

This challenge isn’t about creating flawless content every single day.

It’s about rebuilding trust with myself, getting back into the habit of creating, and proving that ordinary moments can still create extraordinary opportunities.

If you’re feeling like you’ve fallen off your own content journey, I hope this encourages you to start again, whether that’s today, tomorrow, or next week.

I’d love for you to follow along as I document all 75 days. And if you’re doing your own version of this challenge, let me know in the comments. I don’t want to do this alone.
