Being an influencer by today’s popular definition requires circumstances that most of you do not have, nor is it realistic for you to achieve them instantaneously.
Let’s take a realistic glance at what it takes to gain followers, influence the masses and make a living as a content creator.
Popular influencers sell a dream. It’s the old dream of beauty, fame, and wealth. No matter how much we claim that we don’t care about those things, at some level, we all do. It’s built into our DNA; nobody should feel bad about it.
Most people you consider influencers, even those with thousands of followers, do not make much money. They are rich in likes – that’s it.
3 Steps To Become An Influencer In Your Field
Use Your Crystal Ball
If you can foretell which platforms will take off in the next years, please start creating mediocre content daily and make sure you show a lot of skin and expensive cars.
Leverage Your Millionaire Status And Show Off Your Awesome Life
Who has time for hard work? That’s for the peasants. You should plan your next trip around the world on your daddy’s yacht. Please ensure your cameraman understands that they will have to follow your every step and create three impressive cinematic masterpieces daily. Don’t forget to let your social media assistant know they must research and implement the most trending hashtags and background songs.
Combine Passion + Endurance To Become The Most Impactful Influencer Of All Times
Influencing takes enormous energy and consistency that most people don’t have. Two-thirds of the people who read this will never influence a sizable amount of people. They won’t because they do not possess the passion and endurance it takes to make it happen.
It’s not natural for us to create content non-stop all while managing life. It’s a part-time job as half of your day is filled with planning, creating, editing, and scheduling our content.
You need to build your skills in various creative fields that were previously distinct professions. On top of that, you are up against Generation Z, who started creating content as toddlers. While you are wondering how to upload a video to TikTok, they are perfecting their positioning statement. You are up against a generation of natural-born creators.
The only way to compete is to outperform everyone by applying a degree of consistency to your passion-driven message, which a world full of individuals hungry for instant gratification cannot compete against.
You will eventually reach influencer status by relentlessly telling your story, combining data and emotion, and showing people and businesses how you can solve their problems.
You may never be a Gary V. or a Tony Robbins, but I believe you can impact people who need to hear and learn from you.
Discovering Your Passion
What is your fuel? What gets you up early to complete your morning routine before the world awakens? Most of us have something we are passionate about, but we don’t see how our passion connects to what we do professionally. I have good news for you.
Whatever your passion, diving deep into its perfection will provide the foundation you need to find the endurance in you it takes to influence.
My passion for Texas and the US drives me every day to be the best version of myself to serve the nation and the people I love.
It makes me want to be healthy and strong. It makes me want to learn all the latest strategies and tactics to help you reach more people because that is how I make a difference that matters to me.
Becoming an influencer is difficult; you likely need a coach who guides you through your journey. You’ll start creating meaningful content that is helpful and relevant to the specific network you have naturally built over years by religiously connecting and inviting to your media outlets.
