Influencer’s principles: the importance of finding your niche

Running your own channel in social media became mainstream. We live in the world where the first thing preschoolers ask instead of “What’s your name?” is “Do you have Youtube channel?”. Teenagers go crazy about environment of their accounts hunting followers and likes. Even grandmas don’t inhibit. Approved by Dagny Carlsson — the oldest Swedish blogger. She’s 106 y.o. and her channel was created for… internet education of younger grannies.

Anybody might run the channel or blog… So what for, indeed?

Someone enjoys recognition and support of followers. Others have more altruistic reasons, like sharing their knowledge for free. But we’re going to talk about sponsorships and channel monetization.

The opportunity to earn fast and, like it might seems, easy, calls interesting concern — following trends, the majority of influencers start to chase brands interests, but not their own passion. Mindless posting for a quick cash will almost definitely result an irritation of your followers. Agree, you follow someone on Instagram because you liked the content they publish — photos of amazing locations, beautiful buildings, fit people, etc. But not because you are interested in buying skinny tea or diet flakes.
