What does it take to be a social media influencer?

Many influencers such as Charli D’amelio, Addison Rae make content on Dancing or other things like makeup. We all know of James Charles the makeup king of YouTube and TikTok. Being an influencer could be hard because you get a lot of hate from other people on those social platforms. Right now TikTok is the biggest, most famous social platform. Many people are getting famous off of this app. TikTok only pays two to four cents per one thousand views. Charli has a niche for Dancing so that’s what she posts about and so does Addison, and James post about makeup because he has lots of followers because he has lots of practice doing makeup.

 

HAVING A STABLE ACCOUNT MATTERS 

Many propel think that to be an influencer you have to post every day and that’s partly true but you just need a skill that you enjoy doing and post every day about it whether it’s dancing, art, crafts, makeup, and other hobbies. For some people, it’s their full-time job. To be an influencer you have to have a stable amount of followers and likes on each because this job doesn’t pay much money unless your account is stable. It’s hard to be an influencer on platforms like TikTok at a young age because of the community guide lines, if you aren’t of a certain age your videos could be taken down making your account more unstable. 

 

BUYING FOLLOWERS

If you get over one thousand likes on a video it has gone viral but if you get one million you are famous on that social media platform. This job for hobbies varies in money which could make it an unstable job. Even the most famous people have to buy followers to stay famous and to keep getting paid. As people lose followers because their fans find out they buy followers to make them need to buy more to make more money. Sometimes in an influencer’s life, they need a break from all their social platforms. Most influencers want to take a break from their social media but can’t because they have no other job, so instead of taking a break from their social media they buy more followers and post a little less but over time have to go back to full time Influencing on their social media.

 

BRAND INFLUENCERS 

Brand influencers are people who have a product that they promote on social media such as TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, VSCO, maybe even Snapchat. Sometimes being a brand influencer mean discussing relevant topics. Sometimes relevant topics are problems with the world and how we can change it or if it’s about what scrunchy Charli D’amelio wears to bed. Other times it will be about stuff that is very important like spreading awareness about suicide or preventing people from committing suicide, or why not to bring a gun to school. Brand influencers want to spread information on the most used social platforms. This keeps many people safe and helps other’s know how to keep other people safe.

 

RESEARCH 

Many influencers still need to do research or practice In their field of expertise. The average influencers post three times a day about a topic they know well even if it’s a comedy, dancing, or teaching. Many things go into being an influencer. Influencers don’t only have to have one job. They can have many and maybe even post about their other job but probably both jobs require research on the topic or company they promote or post about.

 

  Influencers don’t get paid much but most are doing what they love. Doing what you love to make you happy and with all the hate influencers get that’s one thing they should lose and it’s the niche for what they do.
