5 Easy-Peasy Steps To Become A Social Media Influencer

As a social media influencer, not only do you get to express your opinion about the things you’re passionate about but you also get to connect with a lot of amazing people, artists and brands… It’s also an easy (relatively!) way to get famous! If you have ideas on how to change the way people look at a brand, all you need for that is a visible social media presence. Are you looking to be a social media influencer but don’t really know how to go about it? Well, here are 5 super easy ways to be an influencer in no time!

1. Focus on a key area

Know your area of interest. For example, some people may like fashion while others like beauty. It’s always good to focus on what you like and are passionate about. This will help you target a niche and become an expert in that area (at least to begin with). Once you know your area of interest, brands will know exactly what they want out of you. Well, let’s just say if you’re passionate about what you’re doing, figuring out your area of interest will not really be a tough thing to do.

2. Follow the right people

It’s always good to be inspired by people. It gives you an insight into what’s going on in the industry you’re so invested in. We suggest you follow a bunch of people who are already in the business of blogging and keep taking ideas on what they like to do and what kind of content you find to be very engaging. You will get to know about trending topics and that will help you take a cue for your next social media move. It is a smart way of catching up with the latest trends and up your game as well. Wondering where to get started? Other than following POPxo Daily, our Fashion, Beauty and Wedding feeds are the best way to stay updated! 

3. Have a public profile

You cannot be an influencer if you have a private profile, especially on Instagram. People should be able to view your posts so that brands can look at your work and pursue you further. Your audience will like it more if they can share your post and that can only happen once your profile is public. You should be easily available to them. Not just that, they should have an easy access to your profile as well – which is helped by having a catchy username too!

4. Be frequent with your social media updates

Okay, let’s face it – you get social media acknowledgment only once you’re super active on social media. You need to define your presence by being active to all the responses as well as with your posts. Don’t lose interest and keep posting things with appropriate hashtags and you will see a rise in the followers. Another important point to note, your followers get used to the amount you post, so don’t post 20 posts
