How to become an Instagram influencer

It’s clear: What used to be the rock star as the top career aspiration of young people is now the influencer. Ideally, his level of popularity is similar to that of a pop star, he seems to move in a glamorous world, is allowed to test a lot of cool products for free, and for many people, it all looks like easy money. But the reality is often different. Nevertheless, the “Influencer” can now be called a profession in its own right, and there are even a few who earn a lot of money with it.

You as a person are also visible there, usually, you are the center of the posts. And you have lots of followers who follow you, “link” with you, and are your fans.

Many companies now engage in targeted influencer marketing, which means they have discovered influencers as valuable carriers of their messages, brands, and products.

But sometimes everything is just about you and your life. Many influencers first started their platform or channel as a pure leisure activity before the number of fans went through the roof.
