Journey & Recent Developments as Social Media/Blogger Influencer

My Journey and Recent Developments as a Social Media / Blogger Influencer

Creating informative content and publishing them on my blogs was something I always wanted to do. I had confidence in the way I conveyed my thoughts to my audience, knowing that the information would benefit them greatly.
I began this journey a few years back. At that time, social media was not as widespread as it is in this day and age. I could reach out to fewer people through my posts. Consequently, the number of brands contacting me for being their influencer marketer was also limited.
Well, at the back of my mind, I knew that to monetize my role as an influencer, I needed a large following. This requirement was largely met, in the recent past, thanks to the massive surge in social media users.

There came a time in social media history when all enthusiastic content creators had their profiles. I, too, joined this movement, and it helped me a great deal. I soon realized that people are more receptive in today’s generation. They wanted to know more valuable information, thus enhancing my research. Here are some of the things I did to increase my followers on social media.

Increased Social Media Presence As INFLUENCER

I did not limit my social media presence to only a single platform. Therefore, I created accounts on various social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. For instance, I used my YouTube account to post content that required video capturing or reviewing. I used the rest for other posts related to the display of attributes.

Delivering Valuable Content

I knew that brands would only contact me to promote their products if they trusted my caliber to present information fruitfully. Thus, I continue delivering high-quality content to my audience. It included high-resolution images or videos and well-researched information. In addition, I researched thoroughly before providing any data, ensuring accuracy and comprehensibility at the same time.

Responded to Comments

One of the most key steps to an influencer’s success is to engage with the audience. Otherwise, it becomes a monotonous one-sided posting of content day in and day out. As I kept replying to comments, I noticed the number of quality followers increased on my social media accounts. Also, I found innovative methods as a call to action on my posts.

Reviewed Sponsored Products

It was one of the most convenient methods to monetize my blogging. Brands contacted me to review their products and paid me based on each post.

As I had many followers, and an engaging audience, my social media handles became promising advertisement platforms for the brands. Before posting the reviews/contents, I often used the products for a more personalized touch. Some brands also asked me to post a video review of their sponsored product.

Indulged In Affiliate Marketing

Proposed in Representing Brand
