Being an influencer requires your time and consistency, it requires you to know your niche and how to find an audience, make better content in other to gain views, and explore your content strategy.
Like I said as an influencer you need to create your strategy, yes, be unique and creative, learn what brings the audience to your post, your strategy draw more followers to you, and the way you market your brand is what makes you an influencer, an influencer can decide to showcase their products by themselves or you showcase for other people.
I can be an influencer because I am planning to bring my brand to social media as a makeup artist, though I was doing that before my account was hacked so I stopped for some time now and then I haven't learned about how to be creative enough, how to edit my makeup in other to draw people's attention to my page but now I think I am ready for that.
Being an influencer pays a lot, I know some people who only talk about what they do online and get paid massively by the number of views and likes on their TikTok account, TikTok has been the best paying platform I know for now and people are making it big on it.
Very soon I will be influencing my brand on TikTok, and I have been thinking of the strategy to use for people to know my brand and acknowledge it, being an influencer is never a child's play because there are a lot of things to put in place.
As a make-up artist, you need to inform your model to give you the vibe you want, you need a model who will bring out the best in you, do a make and let people see your work before editing it, and let your work bring your to limelight and always give your audience what they want, and desire.
I need to market my brand, be creative in all I do, and never steal people's ideas to go far on social media, one big thing about social media is to learn how to ignore tantrums, people will want to play with your mental health, they will come at you but if you learn how to keep quiet and ignore them then you are good to go, not everything needs a response.
Without a reasonable amount of followers on any of your social media platforms, being an influencer will be difficult, to be an influencer you need views, followers, and likes, doing this means you are gaining more visibility on the app, people are beginning to know you for your unique content and you are gaining more followers if you are creating contents that are unique and people can gain from it.
Since I chose to be a make-up artist then I have to embrace being an influencer, if I had been working in an office I would have skipped being an influencer but now I need to develop my brand and gain more visibility not only in my state but all over the country, I want to be relevant in the field I chose so being an influencer is the best choice for me.

Having a reasonable number of followers will boost you much. Without them and your quality content, you go no way. Thank you for sharing with us.
In all of this, just do your best and give you time and see how well you grow. I’m very sure that what you need now is start, you don’t have to start all perfect. In fact most people would love to see how you started but just make sure you keep learning and you are growing.
Good luck being an influencer dear 🥰
