The Ultimate Guide To Becoming A Social Media Influencer – Part 1

One job that came out of social media that nobody could have predicted when it first burst onto the scene was the influencer. Best described as a kind of online celebrity, influencers generally hold a lot of sway in their niche due to the huge, sometimes fanatic following they have.

For this reason, businesses in that niche who want to directly target their key audience using the face of someone they know and love will often pay influencers simply to mention their product – and that can mean thousands of dollars for a couple of pictures in some cases.

You might be thinking, “nice work if you can get it!”

…and you can get it, if you try. You don’t need to be a young, beautiful blonde to make this work – although it certainly helps! – and in this guide we’ll be showing you a tried, tested and proven method that has got hundreds of people to enjoy a career as a social media influencer.

The first and most important job you have is to pick your niche. As an internet marketer, you already know this is the #1 step, and this is no different. Now, you’ll want to pick a niche that you love and you’re passionate about to make this easy, but if you don’t, be sure to start knowing enough about it so you can feign that love and passion.

Starting out as a niche “micro-influencer” is your first rung on this ladder, proving to advertisers that you can get sales with your simple word of mouth and promotions to your audience. This is all the advertisers care about – leave the adulation to your fans!

Start small – friends, peers, city, state, nationwide…..international!
