What is an influencer? Many of you are asking! It's almost like flipping through a magazine and seeing an ad for a product, or fast-forwarding through a Doritos commercial. This is the new way that products like to get their name out there, and I don't blame them or the people that influence for them. I know some of you did not like that I was doing this, so I'll explain more of what it is. And there is a ton of money to be made.
An influencer is an individual who has the power to affect the purchase decisions of others because of his or her authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with his or her audience. An individual who has a following in a particular niche, which they actively engage with.
I didn't realize how much time is involved in doing this. I still don't think I have the desire or time, but we shall see. I figured I would take my 5 minutes of fame and turn it into 10. There are a lot of women who do this!
The problem I see is that things are just too expensive for the average person. Don't get me wrong, I myself have posted expensive things because the commission is higher. I'm going to treat this more like a hobby rather than a job, and I won't get caught up. I'll post high-end stuff here and there, but I'll focus more on Amazon, Target, and NFL Shop. Who doesn't love Target, receiving an Amazon box once in a while, and wearing a jersey on Sunday?
