Becoming an influencer is like learning to ride a bike. It’s not going to come to you immediately. In fact, you might have a few failed attempts until you learn what works well in your niche and what your followers respond best to.

 

If you’re not already, you should keep a log of your daily follower count. Then post about what you’re doing to boost that number. As you do this, you’ll get ideas of what activities bring in followers and which ones are wastes of your time.

 

When someone reaches out to you by commenting on your post, answer them as soon as possible. This will help you build a loyal following and it shows brands that you understand the importance of interacting with your audience.

 

The best way to attract influencer sponsors is simply by having an engaged audience that you’ve built through transparency and authenticity.
