Influencer Tips | How to be successful & Make Money

 Being an influencer | content creator to many seems daunting, because of all of the work that goes into it. I've been an influencer for about 4 years (well 3 because I stopped for a year and got roped into an MLM that made me no money...) and last year I really started to see my hard work pay off, literally last year I was making about $1,000 a month just on collabs, ugc content and monetizations. (This year I'm actually doing way better!!)

Some months were more some were very less, but it all depended on how much effort I put into it!

I'm here to give you my TOP 3 TIPS to being successful (I also made a YouTube video that you can watch if your an auditory learner and it has my 5 tips on there).

TOP 5 TIPS TO INFLUENCING 

Tip #1 : Batch your content

When I tell people this, they look at me like I have 3 heads hahha

Batching your content is when you (for me) when you choose 2-3 days out of the week that you film atleast 3-7 videos or take photos for atleast 4-5 brands and dedicate a day or two on collecting video, photos, etc.

Then from those 2-3 days you pick one day to just edit all your videos you plan on posting for the week or month (depending on how much you get done, this may take more than one day). Work on your captions, story posts, etc.

When you do this it makes life easier, because you don't need to be creative every single day. That leads to BURN OUT.

Burn out is the #1 cause that people either choose to stop creating content or are to afraid to start (if you made it this far and seem apprehensive because it's too much work. With these steps it will make it less work!).

You have 7 days in a week, why not only use 2-3 of them to focus on your content and then you have 4-5 days to just chill!!! (Or network lol)

Tip #2: Apply for Collabs!!!

If you want to get paid, you have to reach out to brands. I personally do not reach out to brands specifically (that may change this year I'll keep you posted). I use network marketing sites that work with brands to find influencers.

I also do alot of UGC content were you don't have to post on your socials and you get paid to make videos or take photos and give it to the brand so they can use.

I ofcourse will list all the ones I use, some of them I get credit for some don't but either way they are all amazing and I have actually made monet from them so it's a win win over here!!

Tip #3 Get Peronal

Now hold on! 

When I say get personal, I don't mean you have to tell your life story and all your business. What I mean is make your self relatable. Talk about your hobbies, what you like, what's on your mind. Have your followers get to know you and want to actually follow you.

Sometimes it's hard to be public, but the great thing is you get to choose what you post, share and control the narrative.

So if you like a sport, talk about it. If you are a diy crafter, post about it. If you like clothes, makeup, shopping show it off! People who relate to you will want to learn and know more!!

If these were helpful, I would love to create more posts to help you be successful.

C-section Awareness Month

 It's April!!!

It is officially c-section awareness month and I'm here as a two time c-section mama to talk about this LIFE SAVING procedure!!

There still seems to be not alot of education about this in 2023 and the same ignorant rhetoric is still being passed around.

Women are afraid to get c-sections because women who have never had one (mind you!) tell them their bad.

Women are told that they didn't really give birth because their baby didn't come out of their vaginas... like b**ch I held this baby for 9 months, gained 60 lbs and probably have underlying health conditions (speaking for myself) because I had TWO babies!!

One thing I have to say to any woman who is pregnant or plans to have children. You and your babies health is what's most important. Whatever will keep you both safe is all that matters.

Also do not take c-section advice or just birthing advice from anyone who hasn't experienced it or is trained in child birthing. Also no offense to older generation, but if the person who is telling you all about giving birth hasn't had a baby in the last 10 years, you may want to get another opinion. Only because things change medically, scientifically every 5 years, not saying the old ways don't work but new way can help as well.

There are so many scientific advances that our parents, grandparents and so on could never fathom!

Never let anyone make you feel less than, it's ok to get a c-section for me personally it's saved my son's life in my first pregnancy and then saved my life in my second pregnancy.  If I didn't have a c-section I wouldn't have a son and my daughter wouldn't have a mother.

Because of all the stigma behind c-section women get all stressed and try to make a "birthing plan" hahaha jajaja 

I'm sorry but I laugh at birthing plans, because you CANNOT plan what is going to happen when it's time for baby to come. It doesn't matter how "prepared" you are or how organized you think you'll be. It's a whole different world.

Baby gonna come, when baby wants to come.

Vaginal birth, c-section, emergency birth are all things we cannot control. 

You can go into, everything is fine and then baby doesn't want to come out, bam emergency c-section!

And this is not to scare you, this is to have you ready for whatever is to come. That's why I loved my OBGYN the minute I came to her she told me upfront, you may want this but all this can happen and I need you to just go with it.

I went with it and it saved our lives.

I'm not an "A Type" a person, so for those people this concept might be hard to grasp, but having a c-section will save lives and it's ok to be scared, because motherhood is a sh*tshow (be prepared).

All in all to all my c-section mama's out there, you are amazing!!!!!

I will be having my 3rd c-section this fall so I'll create a post on some of my tips if you'd like!!!

C-section have been my saving grace, and I will always have a positive look on the procedure because like I've said, it saves so many lives!!
