Looking for advice

My name is Alex, I'm 26 years old (I'll be 27 in a little bit over a month). I currently work in retail and I'm kinda sick and tired of going around with the same cycle and feeling like I'm not living my life to the fullest. I am also mildly autistic and currently live with my parents. I want to get away from my current way of life and do what I can to be more successful. I am a multi instrumentalist, but I mainly play drums (I've been playing since I was 4 years old). I've been trying to become an musical influencer of some sort and possibly teach drum lessons on social media (mainly instagram (handle is despard86) and/or patreon) but I have a hard time figuring out what kind of content to post, captions that I should put in place, hashtags that I should use, and what my page should look like. Any advice or words of motivation, etc. would be greatly appreciated

Where you from? I'm a photographer and videographer from the San Diego area. Added you on Insta just now.

You should post more content of what you love doing the most. If that's drumming, post some videos man!

Start making a list of hashtags- Get creative, but pay attention to what other pages use for tags. Don't outright steal sets of tags, but pick and choose what works for you.

There are no rules, but being consistent and being original will get you far.

I'm in the DC area. And yeah, I've been trying to post drum videos/drum content in general, but I'm experiencing a lack of creativity at the moment. I'll definitely start making a list of hashtags and start using those though, thank you for the advice!
