Becoming a social media influencer is not a job for the weak, it requires a whole lot of patience that too one has to be psychologically sound because trust me wether you are right or wrong people will still throw tantrums. Sometimes it is even the contents you saw nothing wrong with that people tends to drag like there's no tomorrow.
But first who is a social media influencer: a social media influencer is a user of social media who over the years have established credibility on the space deemed worthy to market brands. They can specialize on a particular niche or probably do as they pleases.
Now can I be an influencer? Although I would want to shy away from these question but how can I knowing fully well it is one thing I would love to do. I honestly do love the work of an influencer and trust me you can also go about your other hustle expecially when it is not demanding and still be an influencer. I believe an influencer don't have to even shoot contents like every day but you know what they published on the space everyday and that's because in just a day these guys can literally shoot over ten different contents in a day. These contents are not so long like shooting a complete movie so there is time to edit one after the other and publish in different days and no one would know what's going on behind the scene. So if my work isn't too demanding I can do the work of an influencer and even if it is, all I need to do is spare some days and shoot more than enough contents. For product review, sparingly two to three hours won't be a bad idea so yes I can do the work of a social media influencer. 😊
Knowing if one can handle certain responsibilities is by first doing a thorough research after which ask yourself sincere questions if you are capable of handling all there is to thrive on the space because one must be transparent to the public, no should be no and yes, yes not the other way round. Aside transparency, consistency is one key to becoming a successful influencer and I do believe I can stick to the requirements to help me stay relevant.
And lastly, influencer is not a horror job and if one is not so passionate about it he or she should not venture into it cause they end up disappointing themselves and for such individuals another job option would be better than an influencer job and back to myself both with a good job I want to merge it with been an influencer and i know i have to pay some sacrifice but am willing to do it so both with another business I still want to involve myself as a top influencer. ☺️✌️
