Could be a Good Source of Income But You Need Thick Skin

Everyone who wants a career in the social media industry wants to be popular and to become ultimately an Influencer. An influencer as the name suggests is a person who can “Influence” the decisions of a large number of people commonly known as their Followers. This power over their followers usually gives the influencer rewards in social, political, and especially financial areas.

Kim Kardashian for example is paid $10,000 to Tweet about the services or products of her clients. She is by no means the highest. Her sister Khloe gets paid $13,000 to do the same thing. Kylie their other sister is paid $1.2 million for a single post in Instagram. These are examples of the creme of the crop but there are much lesser known individuals making good money doing the same.

This is not the sort of career for the thin skinned and the introverted as your private life and even your whole past life can be scrutinised by the general public and even be illegally disturbed and/or invaded. If however you do become one, get famous and ultimately become an influencer the rewards can be worth all your efforts.

How to be a an Influencer

So how does one become a social media personality. Anyone can be a social media personality.
