Social media’s impact on Bangladesh has enabled content to not only be created but also consumed in a manner that has revolutionized the way we create and consume content. From silly skits to music videos to lifestyle vlogs to educational videos…anybody can become a “Star” on the internet by using their phone, their imagination, and their creativity to reach millions!
The Role of Short-Form Content
Social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, etc.) have totally changed how content is consumed. Consumers like to see short (3-10 second) videos that are relatable, entertaining, based on either something funny that happened in Bangladesh, based on Bangladesh-related content/entertainment in general, or anything related to things people experience every day. When creators create videos that understand the local culture and current events lots of times those videos will go “viral!” because they relate so well to the audience.
Unique, Authentic, and Engaging Content
The biggest key to Bangladeshi creators being successful on these global platforms is that they have produced unique, authentic, engaging content. As an example, much of the content that is created is done in Bangla (who doesn’t love a video with slang, real-life situations?!) and that’s the biggest reason why people relate to such content! Moreover, because these videos are on global platforms like YouTube, Facebook, etc. creators can access international audiences = they can gain international supporters/followers!
Viral Fame = Money!
The days of creators achieving viral fame just due to likes or shares are over! Today many Bangladeshi creators are monetizing their content through brand partnerships and collaborations, livestreaming/shoutouts, digital advertisements, and/or promotional posts. Social media has quickly become a real-world career path for the younger generations compared to traditional channels of earning an income.
The Issues With Social Media
With success come many challenges! Creators have to manage content fatigue, negative comments from the online community, and keep up with constant expectations to be popular. To be successful in this arena, you must be consistent, original, and mentally strong.
Summary
The rise of social media fame in Bangladesh is skyrocketing! By sharing authentic content and embracing digital media, creators in the local area are creating influence and income from creativity. As new audiences continue to grow, and businesses open new doors, Bangladeshis will continue creating the future of this country digitally through their posts.
