Conclusion

Becoming an influencer isn’t something that will happen overnight. Expect to spend a few weeks or months building your brand before you can begin to profit from it. In the meantime, focus on supporting your followers.

Build a community with them and look for ways to solve their problems. Focus on being authentic in your interactions. When you’re real, your followers can tell and that will attract them. They’ll begin to trust your recommendations and look to you when it’s time to make purchasing decisions.

As your community grows, don’t be surprised if you catch the eye of a company or brand. Be prepared for this by regularly keeping stats about how many followers you have and what’s working with them right now.
