How To Take Action
I would suggest talking about what you know and love. Share your own stories and experiences with people. This makes you look real and people will trust you more.
A good start is to be yourself and keep showing up. Post regularly and don't worry about things being perfect. Use what you have right now. Don't wait for the perfect time.
Don't try to sell too much too soon. Give lots of value to people first. If you do sell, make sure it's something that makes sense for you and your brand. It should fit with what you talk about and care about.
It's also important to hang out with the right people. Partner with folks who have similar values and interests. This can help your brand grow in a good way.
Be ready to change and grow. What works today might not work tomorrow. As you learn and try new things, share that with your audience. This keeps things fresh and interesting.
Lastly, stay true to yourself and your interests. If you change interests, let your brand change too. People like following someone who is real and growing, just like they are. This helps build a deeper connection with your audience.
