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!

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. In order to ensure that I write posts regularly, I will be attempting to write shorter posts more frequently. However, knowing my long-winded self, this will be a difficult task to accomplish!

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.

Pinterest 101: How I Gained 2 Million Views in One Month

To be very honest, sometimes the stifling Instagram algorithm gets super frustrating and forces you to realize that it’s time to try something new. While most sponsored collaborations are still heavily focused on Instagram content, I’ve recently found that it’s been amazing for my creative juices to produce content for new platforms where the algorithms are more encouraging. While I’ve been dabbling lightly in TikTok, I feel as if I’ve made my second home on the Pinterest platform. Over the space of one month, I managed to grow by over 500 followers and increase my impressions from 221 monthly views to over TWO MILLION.

Creating an aesthetic Instagram feed is a necessary task for influencers who are seeking to attract quality brand partnerships and engaged followers. Just like how we judge books by their covers (even though we pretend not to), a beautiful theme is integral in setting your Instagram page apart from the rest of the pack.

Why I Quit My Corporate Job (And What’s Next For Me)

After working hard on my Instagram platform for the past three years, I have been blessed enough to have built an amazing community of over 19,000 followers, create connections with amazing people in the blogging community, and receive many wonderful sponsorship opportunities.

While the aforementioned things were wonderful to achieve, I previously would never have entertained the thought of quitting without another job lined up. So then, what were the exact factors that encouraged me to take the leap of faith into the unknown?

Within this post, I wanted to specifically address the topic of authentic engagement— which may manifest as high engagement with posts in terms of likes, comments, and saves. After getting a ton of DMs asking how I manage to get so many genuine comments on my Instagram posts, I thought that I would write a more detailed blog post on the matter.
