IBGR.Network - PROFIT Radio. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. GROW WITH US. Introduction: Hello and welcome to week 8 of our 10 week Build a Business boot camp! Right now, there are people making a living on social media without selling anything. We’ve all seen those profiles of seemingly regular people with tons of followers. It always seems as if they’re traveling or doing something fun. But what exactly do they do to fund this fairytale lifestyle? They are social influencers. Experts predict that in the next two years, global influencer marketing will be a $5-10 billion dollar industry. (insert shocked face emoji here!) You don't need a huge audience to start making money from your social media audience. In fact, it’s worth noting that many micro-influencers get better results (i.e. earning a higher rate per 1000 followers) than influencers with larger followings. So, what’s stopping you from becoming the next Trendsetter? By the end of this show, not-a-thing! Let’s get into how to start a social media influencer business! Listen>Apply>Engage Show Objectives - The Why Social media has become an integral part of all of our lives. We use it to connect with friends and family, to catch up on current events, and, perhaps most importantly, to entertain ourselves. This is why just under 70 percent of Americans, and more than 2.6 billion active users globally, use social networking sites. However, this wasn’t always the case. Back in just 2005, social media penetration in the U.S. was just 5 percent, and most of the rest of the internet didn’t even know what it was. Today, by producing eye-catching content and using such tools as Instagram Stories and the Facebook Market Place, anyone from the humble start-up to well-known brands can compete against one another on an even playing field. Previously, small companies would struggle online with a low advertising budget. Still, today they are more likely to survive than they would on the high street, as social media platforms have helped them spread the word about their offerings. People tend to be more influenced by what they read on social media than through casual conversations or what they watch on TV. This has created a HUGE opportunity for content creators! One we are going to discuss today. Chances are even if you don't "follow" a social media influencer or even totally understand what they do you're likely to understand the concept. Influencers are those individuals who have essentially established credibility in a specific area or industry. To be successful they need to have access to an audience, preferably a large audience – hence their "influence. "With time and commitment, and consistent effort, it is possible for an average person to become a successful influencer," said Sinead Norenius-Raniere, vice president, influencer marketing & paid social at Valassis. There's a segment of professionals who have risen to the level of a social media influencer as a byproduct of their expertise in a given subject. "They are corporate executives, thought-leaders, scientists, academics, corporate executives, and others," noted Schreiner. "The Internet and platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, provide these influencers with a social media presence and a stage to communicate their expertise to a wider audience than if they just wrote a book, for instance. For these influencers this social media presence may result in becoming a mini-celebrity and the rewards of receiving increased professional recognition along with additional associated professional benefits."
