Let’s talk social media audits. I do them all the time inside the Authentic Creator Network, and today I’m walking you through the exact process I use when reviewing a creator’s profile. Whether you’re pitching yourself as a UGC creator or building a community-driven brand, these tips will help you see your own account with fresh eyes.
In this solo episode of Silly Little Social, I’m giving you the top three things to evaluate if you want your content to connect—and convert. I also walk through my 1-to-5 rating system that helps creators get brutally honest about their video quality, storytelling, and brand messaging so they can improve fast.
Inside this Episode, we Discuss:
The 3 metrics I rate during every social media audit
The key differences I look for in UGC creators vs. influencers
How to score your profile (and set goals based on the results)
Why most creators struggle with storytelling—and how to fix it
What makes a profile instantly followable to new visitors
Why emotional connection matters more than you think
The reason my standards are high—and how it helps creators grow faster
Lessons for Creators:
Social media isn’t just about showing up—it’s about showing up with clarity. Here are a few lessons to take away from this episode:
Audit yourself often. The platforms evolve, and so should your content. Use the 3-part rubric (video quality, storytelling, and messaging) to keep yourself aligned.
Define your goals first. Are you building a personal brand? Pitching UGC clients? Trying to grow a niche community? Your strategy—and your audit—should match.
Be your own toughest critic. Rate yourself honestly from 1–5 in each category and focus your energy on improvement instead of perfection.
Content is emotional. Don’t overlook connection. High-quality visuals mean nothing if people don’t feelsomething when they land on your page.
Fast fixes aren’t always the answer. Small tweaks backed by strong strategy can create more impact than trendy tricks or over-editing.
Final Thoughts:
You don’t need a fancy tool to start seeing your social media presence more clearly. You just need a framework and the courage to get honest about where you stand. Rate your own content, set intentional goals, and refine your presence until your profile tells the story you want it to. Whether you’re creating for yourself or for brands, that clarity is what gets you noticed.
