The Creator Bottleneck Nobody Talks About
Everyone knows they need to post more video. The audience demands it, algorithms reward it, and your competitors are already pushing content daily. But most creators and marketing teams hit the same wall: video takes forever.
Editing software is bloated. Production workflows are slow. And posting once a week in 2025 is basically invisibility.
TikTok’s internal metrics show that creators who post daily grow 4x faster than weekly posters. Meanwhile, 78 percent of marketers say production time is their biggest bottleneck.
I was stuck in that cycle too spending hours on a 60-second clip, watching others pump out content like it was nothing. Then I realized the truth no big creator admits:
Nobody is doing this manually anymore.
Not at scale.
Not in 2025.
The right tools are the difference between posting once a week and building a system that works nonstop.
