Tips to help you become a successful social media influencer today

It is safe to say that social media has changed significantly in recent years and growing your audience has, well, become more challenging, thanks to the everchanging algorithms (Instagram we’re looking at you here).

But becoming a successful influencer doesn’t just rely on having a large following, although that certainly helps. Whether you’re just starting out in building your social media career, or are already there, these tips will still apply to you!

Niche and Community

It is important to pick your niche and focus on the sub topics surrounding this. A good way to do this is by thinking of something you’re passionate about, maybe even a hobby. You’ll be surprised that there is a space for everything! Once you have figured this out, you will be able to find your community and start interacting with those with similar interests to you! This will ultimately help build not only your following, but engagements too, and find out what your audience wants to see!

Captions and Bio

Create captions that will make your audience stop, engage and start a conversation! You want to keep your audience coming back for more, so not only having striking content, but the captions to match will help you stand out above the rest. Not only this, but your bio also makes a difference! Optimise your bio by including keywords to help your audience find you with ease.

Video Content

We are increasingly seeing social media platforms taking a focus on video content, from Tik Tok to Instagram Reels and Youtube Shorts. This is also a great way to reach new audiences that don't follow you, especially with Instagram specifically stating this is their focus and are pushing this style of content.

Consistency is key!

Now you’ve probably heard this a million times, but that’s because it is so important! Focusing on regularly posting, even if that is not every day, but having a regular routine, lets your audience know when they can expect to see new content from you! No one wants to follow someone who posts on an off over the course of months now do they? 

Well what are you waiting for? Get creating and make your influencer dreams a reality.
