Today we’d like to introduce you to Portia “That’s So Portia”
Portia, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am Portia, a South Carolina based content creator. My content creator journey began in April 2020 when I launched my YouTube channel titled “That’s So Portia.” As a creator I focus on “Lifestyle & More,” where I highlight travel, fashion, and lifestyle content through long and short form video formats. I enjoy sharing with my audience, the top travel destinations, the latest fashion and style inspiration, and lifestyle memories ranging from concerts, birthday celebrations, brunches, and more. Aside from being a content creator, I have a professional background in media from working in television news to media agencies. I am a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
On my creator’s journey I would say challenges I have faced are consistency and fraudulent brand inquiries. I am procrastinator and will often put off creating content and as a result this creates inconsistent posting across my platforms, which I believe has stunted my platform(s) growth. I feel that once I master consistency, then I will be able to create and build the dedicated community that I desire. With fraudulent brand inquiries, I have received fake emails from those pretending to be part of major brands, so it has been a journey of weeding out what is real and what is not.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in long form and short form content that focuses on travel, fashion, and lifestyle. I strive to publish content that is informative and entertaining. It makes me so proud to see that viewers around the world watch my content and find value in what I am sharing, and I hope to continue reaching more people across the globe. In my content creation journey, I am proud that I had the opportunity to have my reality television reviews featured on BKworldtube, along with having the opportunity to collaborate with brands such as Ana Luisa, GoCashBack, and being a part of a K-Beauty Seeding Campaign. What sets me apart as a creator is that I do not try to fit into social media trends, but instead I film in ways that highlight my authenticity – I display things in my content that genuinely interests me.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Thus far in my creator journey, I would have to say that my characteristic of being a fun and entertaining millennial has been important to the success I have experienced. Being fun and entertaining has attracted viewers to my YouTube channel and led to high performing vlog content. For instance, viewers have left positive feedback saying they enjoyed the travel content I shared and how it has prepared them for their upcoming trips. For me, had I not given viewers valuable information in a fun and entertaining way then I would not have achieved over 100,000 views on YouTube, so I aim to always show up and give my audience a show!
