Influencer 101: How I Earned $17,000 for Q1 2022
Greetings everyone! Now that April is almost over, I thought it would be a good idea to summarize how the first quarter of 2022 has gone in terms of brand partnerships. While I had low expectations for the first three months of the year (especially since I only earned $3,300 in Q1 2021), I was pleasantly surprised to secure more than $17,000 in paid campaigns. As well, I managed to secure four more partnerships over the last week for the new quarter— which will result in my projected earnings totalling to $23,000 so far!

As the influencer marketing industry continues to grow and become recognized as a legitimate form of employment, there are more exciting paid opportunities than ever for content creators who want to pursue this profession both part-time or full-time.

My Top Highlights from My First Year as a Full-Time Content Creator
Happy New Year, everyone! Since January is not over yet, I thought I would rip the bandaid off of my mini-goal to start blogging again at least once a month.

To start things off, I thought I would go over the top highlights of my first year as a full-time content creator. If you don’t occasionally look back and reflect on your past accomplishments (both big and small), I highly recommend that you start as it really helps you realize how much you’ve grown over a certain period of time!
Writing out a list of my top 2021 accomplishments had a big impact on me as it became clear that this was a year of many “firsts.” While not all of these were positive experiences, I am very proud of how I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to grow both as an individual and in my career.
#WFH Series: Balancing Self Care and Productivity as a Content Creator
In the process of becoming a full time content creator, I’ve had the amazing freedom to create a brand new routine based entirely on my values, principles, goals, and intentions. After working full-time for the past six years, it felt amazing to take charge of my schedule and create one that was suited for one person— myself.
How I’ve Increased Engagement on My IG Content in 2021
Since becoming a full time content creator, it’s become a bigger priority for me to increase engagement on the various forms of content I post on Instagram. However, on this often fickle and never-transparent social media platform, the matter of engagement is a constant source of speculation, experimentation, and rollercoaster-like progress.
