The thing about trends is that they can change easily, so we tried to stick to those trends that are more likely to stick around throughout 2024 and create a solid foundation for you to build your content strategy on.

Let's dive into the 5 trends that will dominate the content world in 2024:

1. AI-Assisted Content Creation: 

Expect to see even more AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Bard assisting creators with tasks like writing, editing, and generating visuals. This will free up their time to focus on strategic planning and creative direction.

While AI helps to make your work faster, it’s best not to rely entirely on AI because you don’t want your content to start sounding like a Robot. Use these tools in moderation; they should help spice up your work, not take over it.

2. The Continued Dominance of Video Content: 

Short-form video formats like TikTok, Youtube Shorts and Instagram Reels will remain prevalent, while longer-form content like YouTube videos will continue to attract dedicated audiences. Live streaming and interactive video experiences will also gain traction.

Video is just not going anywhere so learn to get comfortable with it. What’s good is that you can now use AI to create cool videos and even voice overs so if you want to create video content but are too shy to be in front of the camera, you can utilise these AI video and voice over narration style videos. Just make sure to focus on great content and good quality output.

3. The Rise of Micro-Influencer and UGC Creators: 

Brands will increasingly partner with creators that create what is called User generated content (UGC) and micro-influencers (those with smaller, dedicated followings) for more authentic and relatable marketing campaigns. This trend will continue as consumers place more trust in individual creators than traditional celebrities. These types of creators are reasonably priced and Brands appreciate the authentic approach to influencer marketing.

4. More Focus on Personalization and Authenticity: 

As the audience demands more quality content and personalised narratives, creators that prioritise creating content that is personalised and authentic to their brand and audience will win 3x more than those that dont especially as AI has taken over and everybody is creating on the internet; only those creators that pay attention to their audience and delivers authentic content will see great results. This will involve showcasing their unique stories, values, and expertise to build deeper connections with their fans.

5. The Continuous Rise of the "Creator Economy: 

The creator economy will continue to boom, with more people making a living from creating and sharing content online. Platforms like Creatuuls, Medium and Substack will provide creators with new ways to monetize their work. Creators will also increasingly leverage social media platforms to sell their own products and services directly to their audiences. 

Bonus. The Focus on Community Building: 

Creating and nurturing a strong community will be a key win for creators. This will involve interacting with fans regularly, responding to feedback, and fostering a sense of belonging.
