A video about operating room clothes was the beginning of my work

Content production in social media is one of the growing areas that has led to the emergence of businesses such as blogging or vlogging (a blogger that produces video content). This model of content production is divided into different fields and has produced specialized bloggers. One of these fields is the health field, which, along with the disadvantages of its information, contains many advantages, such as changing health misconceptions, raising the level of public information among followers, etc.

We dedicated this conversation to Amir Hossein Amini, a final year nursing student at Shahid Beheshti University, who is a specialized vlogger in the field of nursing.

What made you interested in nursing?

During the entrance exam, I had a lot of psychological pressure for medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, and nursing, and I didn’t like medicine at all because I couldn’t study hard for 7 years and have no income. On the other hand, the nursing job market and its immigration conditions and the good feeling it has made me fall in love with it. I want this field to become my priority, my university was also very effective in creating this interest.

Tell us a little about the challenges of a nurse’s life:

The work pressure is very high, because the standards are not respected at all. For example, abroad, every two or three beds are covered by one nurse, but in our country, I was responsible for ten beds, and the burnout that occurs reduces the motivation and good mood, and of course, income and heavy shifts are another thing. It is one of these challenges. But the position of the nurse is really good now, it was not like that before.

When did you think of producing content in this field?

I am the secretary of my university’s photographers’ center and the secretary of my university’s photographers’ center and the public relations manager of my university’s centers and I am proficient in design and editing. When I was a student, I worked in the field of medical marketing, that is, I produced content for surgeons and doctors in a specialized way. Last year, when I saw that the knowledge of the field of nursing was a little low among people, it hit me to have a page myself. To talk about people’s concerns in a very simple way and to increase the audience’s desire to follow my page with a good editing. The feedback was great and the good feeling it had made my professional life more beautiful.

How did you start your page and how many people do you have now?

I started with a video about operating room clothes and continued with first aid, common questions and information about Corona. When I started, I had 1500 followers, and after 18 posts, now 3500 people follow my page. and the engagement rate of my page is 21, which is good and significant for me.

How much time does vlogging take and does it have a high income?

Blogging and vlogging is something that blends with a person’s life and is not something that can be dedicated to a specific hour, we are looking for ideas for filming, topics, editing, reviewing other pages, etc. all day long. In terms of income, like many other jobs, it depends on the individual’s effort, and anyone with a strong page and high media power can earn a good income.

What is your goal for this content production?

I have a special interest in teaching in plain language. For this reason, I try my best to warn people about common mistakes and important and practical information in my field of work and express them in the simplest way in videos.

Where do the content of your page come from?

Well, the topics are many and scattered, and it cannot be said that they come from authority to private, but most of them are selected from the trends of society, questions asked by the audience, foreign videos, etc.

Maybe one day you will think about closing your page?

If I feel that the page is no longer fun for me and is limited to nervous and psychological pressure and stress and has made my life difficult, I may close it temporarily or permanently.

A colorful memory from blogging?

One of the things that makes me happy is that my dad loves my videos and watching me do it. After uploading the videos, he always calls his family and acquaintances to see my new video and I always wait for their comments, may God protect them…

The last word:

There are many ways to attract followers quickly, but having credibility and being well known is more important than the number of followers. I hope all vlogger and blogger friends will reach this conclusion so that we can progress together.
