Finding Your Niche
Finding your niche has to be the first step. We’d say you can still become an influencer in all niches – people only have to like your personality and vibe.
Your first step to becoming a successful social media influencer is finding your niche. That should be something that you are passionate and knowledgeable about – whether it’s fashion, technology, travel – whatever interests you most! Focusing on one area or subject matter within which all your content creation efforts can exist helps establish authority and separates those who try everything from those who specialise.
Create Engaging Content That Stands Out
Once you’ve honed in on what makes yours different from everybody else’s account, it’s time for step two: creating engaging content around said theme/topic/interest, etc. That means more than just posting regularly. You must be crafting stories, sharing experiences, and giving tips so that others may learn through their mistakes (and successes) as well!
Think value-addition. We promise that once people become invested in your life, they’ll want to know everything about it. It can be overbearing – but social media isn’t for everyone!
Thinking Outside The Box (Literally)
In a world where everything definitely is digital, sometimes it’s nice to have something physical to look through.
That’s why some influencers have started turning their favourite posts and fan pages into physical photo books for fans who want more than an endless scroll. You can use a photo book maker only for high-quality results. Ensure you’re using high-quality prints from popular Instagram or Facebook pages – and they’re even better when they’re signed! Well, this is for if you ever become an influencer. If you do, we promise you, this would be a lucrative way to make money.
Leverage Analytics To Grow Strategically
To thrive as a social media influencer, you must understand analytics – there is no way around it! Instagram algorithms will chew you up and spit you out if you don’t understand them. And what we mean by that is that they’ll determine the visibility of your page and posts.
The stats are also interesting – they provide invaluable insights into who the audience is, what content they prefer, when they are most active online, and more. You can use all of these statistics to your advantage. So please, do yourself a favour and look at those numbers.
So, do you think you have the confidence to be a social media influencer? If only most of us mustered up the courage to join TikTok during lockdown, we would be rich by now. Ah, the lockdown TikTok days!
Still, whether you’re starting from scratch or already have a following, don’t forget that becoming successful requires work and play – so get out there and be creative with what you know! You never know who might see it or how much they’ll like it until after.
