Former news anchor, Raquel started off her career as a Weather Woman for CCTV News and progressed on to becoming a News Anchor as well as a Host and Co-Host for programs including the ‘Culture Express’, ‘News Desk’ and more! She expresses how she always held a strong passion for beauty. “I always get compared. People think that I’m like the Asian Kardashian and I took it as a huge compliment!”, she said in her interview with ITP Live.
Raquel was quite fond of the ‘Discoverability’ factor on TikTok! While multiple content creators and celebrities saw a thriving opportunity on TikTok and shifted onto it to develop an audience, she did the same, considering how Instagram was quite saturated at the time.
Being a former news anchor, she’s used to condensing information which is why she adores TikTok, since she is able to convey her message within a time limit. The bread and butter of TikTok, according to Raquel, is the 15 second time constraint which now also has a 60 second option.
Authenticity is a very important element for a content creator who is sailing through the same storm in the same ship along with millions of creators. According to Olsson, “standing out” and being your authentic self is crucial.
TikTok can be anybody’s game! Here is her advice on how to find fame within the app.
- Finding a niche on TikTok is a game-changer! Find an interest or subject you love. It can be comedy, science, cooking, gaming, crafting, beauty, dancing, skits and much more! By doing so, it’s easier to stay consistent since you’re creating content that you love!
- Start off your journey on the platform by doing the current trends and using #Hashtags.
- Last, but not the least, don’t give up! Keep pushing through, the views and likes will arrive gradually as you stay consistent!
Receiving hate is an expected given if you choose to publicly create content online. It was an interesting shock when Raquel expressed that she had never experienced hate until she used TikTok. Users did not shy away from commenting hate on her TikTok videos, claiming that she is promoting manipulation. Nothings irks her more than when people try to misconstrue information.
When asked about any exciting upcoming projects, Raquel did mention how she would love to start her own Podcast and YouTube channel soon! She wishes to delve deeper into psychology and other helpful topics to provide a pondering insight for her audience!
“Realize that you have an immense amount of untapped potential in yourself.”, she says as she leaves us on an inspiring note.
