By Space Coast Daily // November 17, 2022
The internet is full of opportunities that allow you to make money. Becoming famous online, or an influencer is one such way. It’s hard work and needs a lot of time – but if you put in the hours, you will become your own boss one day.
Leading entrepreneur Aleksandr Suchkov who himself learned about utilizing the internet to make money from hustles and different opportunities at a very young age, says, “The world has become increasingly interconnected, and to earn a particular amount of money today has become infinitely easier than it was before – especially with the help of social media, which allows you to reach more and more people for free.”
And we couldn’t agree more. Suchkov runs a Dubai-based digital marketing agency called Stergo Media, known to serve clients internationally and make their businesses famous.
So, in this age and day how do you become famous online? In other words, how do you become a social media influencer?
Before we answer that, who is a social media influencer? Not just about anyone with a large follower base is an influencer, you know. For example, a lot of city- or district-level politicians have millions of followers.
Though they might shape public opinion during the voting days, their opinion matters very little to the youth following the trends the rest of the time.
On the contrary, someone with a 500k audience on YouTube or Twitter giving out tech tips might receive a huge payment from a tech company just to get a review out there. It’s about the loyalty and nature of your audience that’s more important.
How to become a social media influencer to make money?
An influencer is a person who has a lot of followers on social media. Such people get a lot of inquiries from brands and companies to promote their products to their audience. In return, the influencers receive freebies that they test and review to share with their loyal audience.
So, how does one become an influencer? Well, the first step is good work or talent. For example, there’s an influencer whose whole life he worked on expensive cruises.
He started making videos on Instagram when the platform had just launched. It was mainly a passion project, a hobby even. Soon, his follower count started growing and brands like Rolex are today sponsoring him to just wear their watches while he shoots the videos.
He ends up making quite a handsome sum this way.
Similarly, many influencers do what they love such as streaming video games, making short videos, creating funny content with their friends, showcasing their talents such as painting or dancing, or just talking about something they love such as giving tips for lifestyle, finance, or pets.
The only things you need:
1. A strong passion, hobby, or interest that you can talk about.
2. Creative content creation skills – today the tools such as Instagram have plenty of creative options from filters to stickers, so this is more about knowing the existing tools than learning a new skill
3. A lot of time to gradually increase your follower count and share valuable content with the audience
4. Some help from an SMM panel like top4smm to kickstart things in the right direction.
You keep these things in mind and you too can become an influencer!
