It is estimated that about 40 per cent of the world’s population use social media, and many of these
billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends to
follow.
So what is an influencer and how do we become one?
An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their relationship
with their audience and their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e.g. fashion, travel
or technology.
Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. They have the
power to persuade people to buy things, and influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way
to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking powerful influencers to market their products. With some
influencers charging up to $25,000 for one social media post, it is no surprise that more and more people
are keen to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are five tips on how to do it.
1. Choose your niche
What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the
specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it.
2. Choose your medium and write an interesting bio
Most influencers these days are bloggers and micro-bloggers. Decide which medium – such as your own
online blog, Instagram or Snapchat – is the best way to connect with your followers and chat about your
niche area. When you have done that, write an attention-grabbing bio that describes you and your
speciality area in an interesting and unique way. Make sure that people who read your bio will want to
follow you.

3. Post regularly and consistently

Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts. The more you post, the more likely people
will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts are consistent and possibly follow a theme.

4. Tell an interesting story

Whether it is a photo or a comment that you are posting, use it to tell a story that will catch the attention
of your followers and help them connect with you.
5. Make sure people can easily find your content
Publicise your posts on a variety of social media, use hashtags and catchy titles and make sure that they
can be easily found. There is no point writing the most exciting blogposts or posting the most attractive
photographs if no one is going to see them.
Most importantly, if you want to become a social media influencer, you need to have patience. Keep
posting and your following will gradually increase. Good luck!
