Digital content creation in Bangladesh has undergone a remarkable transformation, moving from a casual pastime to a viable professional career.

However, as more individuals pursue this path, questions arise about the sustainability, impact, and acceptance of content creation as a legitimate profession. Let's take a look at how the evolution of content creation, promising, is full of challenges that extend beyond the screen and how local content creators tackle these obstacles.

Summary of content creation

The essence of successful content creation lies in authenticity and passion, not mere pursuit of fame or fortune. "Don't depend on being famous. Start creating content based on the niche you're passionate about. Newbies are leaning towards trends and promoting their lifestyles by focusing more on their content, which we need to stay away from," Shoeb Akther calms, is a digital content creator active since around 2020

Social perception and criticism of combat

A significant barrier for content creators in Bangladesh is social perception. Despite the growing recognition of digital content as a legitimate profession, many still view it with suspicion. Shoeb reflects on this challenge, "Most people don't take it as a profession, so they say what they say online. Common people need to be educated about it as a legitimate profession."

Addressing the wider misunderstanding about the role and influence of influencers, Shoeb added his own opinion to the discussion: "A good influencer makes an impact on people's lives. If someone learns something from me, I will consider myself a good influencer."
