With the majority of us being home for the past year, many are finding new things to get into and pursuing passions that can help bring in some extra cash or maybe even turn into a full time gig. What I’m seeing a lot of folks trying is content creation with the hope to someday become an influencer!
If you follow a good number of influencers, you probably know that it’s quite possible to make a really good living in this industry. How much you actually make, though, has much to do with what you put into it (work wise). But we can definitely get into that in another post!
The point is, this is a field that many are looking to get into and there are so many questions around how to get started, how exactly one can make money as an influencer and so on.
In a 20 minute interview I did for the P.E.R.K.S. Podcast, I answer some questions about the content creator life including what I did to become an influencer, how I get sponsored brand deals and more.
