Why I’m Not an Influencer, Even Though My Life Seems Perfect For It

I’ve been on the verge of becoming a full-blown Content Creator for almost 6 years now, and mainly because everyone continually tells me I should be. Plus, it’s a bit seductive to think I could make an income from just living my life, right?

When I left academia back in 2017 to get into Tech by teaching myself to code, people told me I should write about it. So I did.

When I became a successful UX Designer at a top company making 6-figures, people came to me looking for mentorship. So I became a mentor, and I wrote about it too.

When I started working remotely and sold everything I owned to move into an RV to travel full-time, people told me I should start a YouTube channel…I didn’t, but I did write about it and post a few updates here and there.
