Hey, Bram! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hi! I’m Bram, an 18-year-old creator based in the Netherlands.
A little over 2,5 years ago, I started an Instagram page called @appletodaynow, which has now grown to over 20K followers — and I enjoy creating content for it!
Instagram turned out to be a perfect place to share my thoughts on Apple and technology in general.
At first, I only used my Instagram account for reposting. I would post other people’s images (giving proper credits, of course) and then write a short post elaborating on what they depict.
However, after a year, I realised this was not what I wanted to do.
I have always wished to be a creator, and at that time, I was not one.
Instead of hiding behind a logo and copy-pasting other people’s content, I started putting in the work, showing my face more, and building a community.
Right now, I am working on expanding this community to other platforms, such as Twitter and YouTube.
Instagram is still not my main job because I don’t get that much income from it. What I do get from it I immediately invest back.
I actually still have a side job at a grocery store. I work as a cashier, and I do enjoy the social aspect of it.
At my side job, I get to connect and collaborate with my peers, which is a nice change from working for myself.
It is probably also part of the reason why I haven’t taken the leap to become a full-time content creator yet.
Can you describe your home setup?

Since I still live with my parents, I have a workstation in my bedroom. This room is the smallest in the house.
The small size of my bedroom was definitely a challenge. Yet, I managed to make it work by measuring pretty much everything I got before buying anything.
It was tricky to build a nice workstation in such a confined space, but I am pleased with the result.
