Being an ambivert, I value having enough solitude.  I also need some social interaction, as does everyone.  Blogging supports me all the way.  It’s creative and helps to express my thoughts and experiences.

Stereotypes based on personality

Personality types are typically called extroverts, introverts, and even ambiverts.  While extroverts are known to be the most outgoing, introverts are seen as shy.  Ambiverts are a mixture of both types.  

Some people may assume that introverts are shy or lack self-confidence.  This may or may not be true, given each specific case.  Solitude can be a choice, and even a strength, as it brings lots of opportunities.

Extroversion and introversion, both have advantages and drawbacks.  Ambiverts can enjoy the best of both worlds, through introverted and extroverted strengths.  Content creators gain from both types and can leverage them for better results.

General gifts of introversion

Let’s assume that you’re an introvert (as an example).  You can miss out if you don’t assert yourself when needed.  On the other hand, by being thoughtful, you also make better quality decisions.

5 general gains:

1. Self-reflection
2. Critical thinking
3. Imaginative and creative
4. Self-motivation
5. Lifelong learning

Spending enough time in solitude is conducive to self-reflection.  You take the time to ponder deeply.  By doing so, you can analyze and see the not-so-obvious things.  Without undue distractions all the time, you can think thoroughly.  

Make higher-quality decisions, through critical thinking.  Going with the herd might not be your style.  You’re likely to let your true self shine.

Serenity supports calmness.  Spending enough time in solitude can bring out the best in you.  Hone your imaginativeness, and creativity skills.

Self-motivation can be for any personality type.  However, introverts can make the most of their independent thinking for it.  For example, you can refuse to “Keep up with the Joneses”, and instead focus on your set goals.

Lifelong learning can come to you naturally if you favor it.  Spending some time solo, you can block time on your calendar for skill-building.  Keep up with your learning plan consistently as well.

How content creators shine

Content creators, such as bloggers, vloggers, and podcasters gain.  Introversion can be your strength in many areas.  Know how to use it for the better.

Typically, bloggers write.  Vloggers make videos.  Podcasters mainly speak.  I’m mostly a blogger but sometimes vlog in the form of Instagram reels.  I’ve never had a podcast, but have recorded voiceovers for my videos before.

It’s natural not to have only one format.  Text, visuals, videos, and audio are but formats.  For example, as a blogger, I use text mostly.  However, I also do use images on my blog.  I post videos in the form of reels.  

As an ambivert, I can get in front of the camera.  However, I enjoy blogging most of the time.  Some extroverts, on the other hand, might prefer doing only videos.  Podcasters communicate through audio, and might not show their faces.  However, diversifying formats supports your audience to consume content conveniently. 

Introvert strengths for content creators

Benefits are for life, in general.  There are some specific examples for creators.  I’ll list them below.

Here they are:

1. Self-reflection
2. Calculated decision making
3. Find your niche
4. Genuine
5. Self-starter
6. Autonomous
7. Trendy vs evergreen
8. Meticulous
9. Listen to your audience
10. Genuine connections
11. Authentic 
12. Natural comment replies
13. Creativity level
14. Personal approach
15. Original writing voice
16. Avoid distractions
17. Better focus and productivity
18. Stay organized and slay goals
19. Independent thinking
20. No rat race
21. Constructive criticism

Coming up with original content ideas can be challenging.  Using tools and generators can be convenient.  The best results still tend to be creativity and originality.  Through self-reflection, you can come up with unique ideas that stand out.

In solitude, you analyze and see the pros and cons.  Without clutter and distraction, it’s easier to focus.  Find no peer pressure, but go for your genuineness.  It’s conducive to having calculated decision-making.

You’re likely to be a self-starter and act autonomously.  Having a team is great in many ways.  However, solopreneurs often work alone and need to take initiative.

How to leverage introvert strengths

Introverts have valuable gifts.  Because of Introvert strengths and weaknesses, there are also drawbacks.  Don’t hesitate to take challenges when needed.  Come out of your comfort zone, at least when the right opportunities appear.

Networking is handy.  Find peers to network with.  It might feel inconvenient, however, it helps.  You might be a good listener or even, a supercommunicator.

I do most of my networking online.  It saves me time and brings results as well.  Meeting face-to-face can, however, bring better connections.

Another example of coming out of your comfort zone is vlogging.  Compared to blogging and podcasting, showing your face on video is more challenging.  You show the real you, especially when you speak on camera.  Faking it is not easy, as it will show.

Take it as an opportunity to better connect with your audience.  Videos are often the most popular choice, so don’t miss out.  Reach a wider audience by using different platforms and formats.  Diversify your sources of traffic.

Introvert personality strengths and weaknesses, both exist.  The valuable strengths of introverts depend on each individual to work further on them.  Identify your gifts, and hone them for the better.

Conclusion

Introvert strengths and skills become an edge when sharpened.  In spheres of life, you can gain if you’re willing to.  Content creators, bloggers, vloggers, and podcasters, should take better advantage.
