Attracting audiences is very challenging as there are so many competitors possibly posting similar contents as we do. Especially there has been a current trend going on all around Instagram for content creators to create an Instagram account dedicated to their daily food intake. Posting food contents allows those content creators to attract more brand collaborations and allows their followers to feel a deeper connection with them as they share their diets, favorite restaurants and recipes. In this blog, i will be sharing several tips and tricks that I have found useful throughout my journey of becoming a food content creator.
1. Increase the quality of your food pictures
The quality of your picture is a crucial aspect to attract people to your page. I have experimented with several editing apps throughout the years, Lightroom which is an app developed by Adobe is available to all Android and iOS users has really been the best editing app. This app is very beginner friendly as it allows users to use presets that has been made by other creators on that platform.
Just by simply clicking on the presets that has been curated that are fitted to your likings and aesthetics, your pictures will be Instagram worthy as every settings such as lighting, definition and quality has already been adjusted. These presets are obtainable as many content creators online shares it however most of these creators do expect you to pay a certain amount of money.
As a university student, my budget is indeed leaning on the tighter side therefore I prefer to create my own personal presets. Here is an in-depth video that could be used as a guide to create your own Lightroom presets. Click Here.

Your posts does not have to perfectly fit into your instagram account in a strict sense as the purpose of social media is to express your true colors however maintaining a consistent overall style would increase the visual appeal to viewers. Aligning your contents forms a brand identity for your profile to be more unique even with many competitors in the industry. It is not just for the aesthetic prospects but also for the storytelling concept allowing viewers to follow on a journey portraying stronger message making the content more enjoyable and engaging.
However you should not be pressured with the purpose of keeping up with the latest trends at the expense of your own ideas and creativity. Experimenting with different approaches should also be considered in order to freshen up your contents. Your feed is a like a mirror that exhibits you as a person. Mix up the combination of self expression and strategic planning together to create an emerging social media content.
