Greetings everyone!🙌
In the past, social media influencers were predominantly movie actors and musicians. However, the landscape has undergone a profound transformation. Nowadays, virtually anyone can become a social media influencer without needing ties to the entertainment industry. The key is to strategize wisely, attract a reasonable number of followers, and you're on your way to success.
In the modern era, aspiring influencers are not limited by their background or profession. With the right approach, anyone can create content that resonates with an audience. This might involve sharing their passions, knowledge, or unique perspectives. Oh! It doesn't end with sharing meaningful things; one can as well come up with a unique way of crying, and before you know it, he's being needed by many organizations.
It's just like one controversial "Daniel Reghan" on X NG (Twitter NG); he started with how he banter and attacks celebrities in their doings. Now has a large number of followers and has mouth-watering ambassadorial deals with him.
Should I talk about "Bobrisky"(cross gender)? Just look at how made he(she) is now.
If I'm to become social media influencer today, what brand would I stick to?
This question popped up in a scenario I witnessed some years ago, and it's all about these influencers promoting anything that comes their way just for the money.
Davido(very popular Nigeria music artist) once found himself in this situation when he promoted a Ponzi scheme and when the Ponzi scheme crashed, he was dragged on X(Twitter).
If I see the opportunity to promote anything as a social media influencer, it's surely going to be FIFA WOMEN FOOTBALL. It sounds crazy, right?
An influencer is termed "good" when he/she knows very well about the brand or has a burning passion for it.
Female football is what I've found myself deeply buried in, even though it sounds odd in the ears of Nigerians. Promoting this female football will not only give me maximum satisfaction plus a reasonable pay; it'll also help attract people (especially females) to start liking the sport.
During the last world cup held in Australia and New Zealand, I followed up on every bit of it, starting from the planning stages, and I love how the body inspires young girls to go into football.
I'm not a social media influencer with large followers, but I'm doing this already in a very little capacity because it gives me so much joy. My friends here who know me to my WhatsApp know how noisy I become whenever our girls are playing or whenever there's any major Women football tournament.
I do this out of the fun and also to encourage young ladies to go into football because FOOTBALL is paying very well. The money in football can't be measured with that of ritual.
Do I have plans to make it a dream come true?
Honestly, I've dreamed of owning a fan page on Facebook to be talking about this women's football; in fact, I almost created a group, but I had to stop because I'm well known on Facebook (large friend list of relatives) and these people will be bugging me, and I'm not available for such chats.
Yes, that's it. My Facebook account is too surrounded by "serious" relatives that want to chat and "ask about" me always.
I should have created another Facebook account, right? I don't like it either, even though I have one more account already.
Maybe with months and years to come, my mind will settle down to do this, but for now, it's a big no because I don't have the strength.
Thanks for reading.
