With the internet growing in users, you think: so too is the competition growing for social media attention; but is the competition really that deep? We see new faces come forth into the spotlight almost daily. Just scroll through TikTok for a week and tally the number of different faces you discover. Those faces are on their way to social media popularity, whether short or long term; so, bottom line, there’s definitely room more.
We believe there’s plenty of space in the vast realm of the web to make a living, and, these days, you don’t necessarily have to stand out among your peers; There’s plenty of eyeballs on every corner of the web, for everyone. Influencers, themselves, watch other influencers. It’s a simple as producing an image or video with a different flare than your peers and you have a foot in the door. You have to put work into it, of course, but determination wins every time.
The first step to making a living as an influencer is to understand what you’re trying to accomplish. The old saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there, ” certainly applies here. There are many levels of influence: micro influencers with no more than 1,000 followers, macro with 20K-50K followers and then super macro with over 500K followers. Find a niche that speaks to you and run with it.
You can be passionate about anything you want, but your passion alone won’t pay the bills. Profit is why we do what we do and it comes in two forms. First, there’s profit to be made through product placement and second there’s profit that comes from the increased traffic an active social media presence can bring to your product.
