Have you ever thought about what it would be like to run your own business and be your own boss? I am curious so I decided to look into it and boy did I find a lot of information I first had to find something you are passionate about or maybe a market that is untapped. I wanted to be a social media influencer so there is a lot to go into that job, Suraj Rajwani. From finding a host, website name that is unique, social media channels, networking to meet other social media influencers I will go into each one more below.  

Influencer marketing is a diverse market. You can find people who are experts in fashion, automobiles, and gadgets, among others. They’ve spent most of their lifetimes mastering a specific niche and use their knowledge to educate the online community. If you want to do the same while earning money, find your niche first. The niche you choose is crucial as this makes or breaks your success as a social media influence.

To make sure that you actually have the interest and motivation to work as a social media influencer for the longest time possible, pick a niche that’s up to your alley. If you have a knack for DIY projects and crafts, publish content that can help the online community start their own business by selling handcrafted products. Don’t provide content for automobile maintenance if you no idea about cars and how they work.

The more passionate you are about your niche, the easier it will become to both create great content and consistently publish content over the course of weeks, months, and even years.

 

To be a successful social media influencer, you should decide what social media channel to use. Because there are a lot of social media channels available today, it’s important to choose the right one because it can make or break your chances of engaging with your target audience and earning a profit. To help you choose the most suitable social media channel, take the time to ask the following questions:

Who is your target audience?

What social media channel is your competition using?

What type of content will you create long-term?

What is the easiest type of content for you to create?

Where do the recent social media trends point to in terms of trendy social media channels?

It’s hard enough to create content – don’t overstretch yourself. Find the one or maybe two (for A/B testing) social media channels that make sense and stick to them!

Ways to make money:

Different people work as social media influencers for different reasons. While some of them are after convenience, others are in it for the money they can make within a short period. Yes, you read that right: social media influencers can make money even if they’re only using their social media profiles. To paint a clearer picture, here are some ways a social media influencer can easily monetize their online presence: 

One of the easiest ways to make money as a social media influencer is through sponsorships or sponsored content. If you have a million followers, you will get paid simply by posting content representing a particular brand or business. Depending on the product or service being endorsed, the influencer can simply post a picture wearing a product of the brand or visiting the business establishment of the sponsor. Celebrities who have the most number of Instagram followers typically use this strategy to earn money. Suraj Rajwani
