The start of something new can always be exciting and daunting at the same time. Especially when you want to start something that many other women out there have done so well and successfully for years; inspiring you to do the same, aka being a blogger/influencer. It could feel overwhelming and in a way put you under so much more pressure to even start, let alone making it into a business, but you shouldn’t feel that way! Think about it like this, the world population was estimated to have reached 7.6 billion as of December 2017, so believe me when I say someone will want to follow you, read your content and connect with you all while finding inspiration in each other. There are so many different people with interests just like yours, that’s why the idea of collaborating rather than competing between bloggers shouldn’t really take place. We are here to influencer each other. Anyway, you’re probably wondering why I am going on about this.
Well, I’ve teamed up with Boost Capital and their small business loans options, I wanted to share my 5 tips to JUMPSTARTING YOUR DREAM CAREER as a blogger/influencer and create a beautiful business from it.
As you all know, I started my blog, Uptown Style back in 2012 with the intention of it being a place to explore your creative abilities and the love of all things style. Since then it’s been my Everest, taking me on so many joineries, hardships and teaching me so much about myself and the person I want to be (I know, a little deep but stay with me, it gets better) and I’ve worked night and day to grow into what it’s become now. Despite the sleepless nights and continual struggle of balancing work and personal life (which is still a big merge of the two), I absolutely love creating content for my readers and inspiring women all around the world! I believe that confidence comes in many different forms, whether it’s arming yourself with that N1. outfit and working the room, to putting your best face forward!
It’s been such a blessing for me to arrive at this moment, where I can share with you guys all these tips and tricks to look and feel your best. But as some of you may know, running a blog isn’t easy. So to make it easier for some of you aspiring bloggers/influencers, here are the 5 tips I’ve spoken about earlier.
4. Be Intentional in Your Content
Social media platforms are now connected, and it becomes easy for each platform to become oversaturated with the same exact content. So here is a tip, one thing I like to do is to use different platforms for different content. For my facebook page, in addition to using it to release updates on new blog posts, I also like posting other amazing accounts I love, I found that I want to share with my readers which I feel facebook is a great platform for. On my YouTube, which I’ve started recently, I like to share my blogging tips! And of course my Instagram (with stories) (@Uptownstyleblog) for real-time action of my daily adventures and lovely style and beauty photos. When I release new content on my blog or channel, I like to use my social media platforms as teasers to drive traffic. I never release the full story on Instagram or facebook, just snippets and teasers so that my blog will always be the destination site for content. Keep in mind, if you want a popular blog, the full content should always be on that blog!
And there you have it folks, my 5 tips on JUMPSTARTING YOUR DREAM CAREER as an influencer! Share with me your tips and tricks that you like to use in the comments below!
