1. Choose a Platform

It doesn't take much to learn from others. Follow the example of successful Instagram influencers. To enhance your brand's image and reach more people, you should also use other social networks.

In 2018, 82% more social influencers cited Instagram as their top platform. A little over 12% replied with YouTube, while less than 2.2% responded with Facebook.

While you will want to set up profiles on as many social networks as possible, only one should be your bread-and-butter. Research has shown that Instagram is the most popular platform for social influencers.

76% of Instagram's influencers think that Instagram has the best tools, compared to other social media platforms. Based on these numbers I strongly recommend that you make Instagram your top priority.

However, you can still use Facebook and Twitter to gain more Instagram followers.

2. Join a Network of Influencers

Let's imagine that you share lots of content on social media related to weight loss or holistic health. Your followers are likely interested in this content, which is why they are following you.

A network of influencers can be a great way to make a living on social media. These platforms connect brands with people based on their followers and interests.

Brandwatch is a fantastic place to start.

If you are a brand with a product or services related to your content, you can join these networks to make it easier for them to find you.

These networks can match brands and influencers who are looking to sell new weight loss products or equipment. They let you communicate with brands in any way that suits your needs.

This will allow you to keep organized and not rely on direct messaging through social networks. It's difficult to keep up if you have many friends.

Hi Lily,
How very generous of you to share these useful tips on this platform.
What an eye-opener, I never fully understood the meaning of an influencer before.
Do you think this technique would also apply if a free version of a very useful software tool was given out.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,
Melanie

Yes. I think that would work Melanie.
If you are the influencer then you can give free stuff away certainly.

Hi Lily . I have thousands of followers on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest, but they are mostly people that associate with my gardening niche. Is it possible to utilise these followers for my MMO site, or do I need to start again. Jim

Great question Jim.
Try and think how you would feel if you were following someone for gardening and then they started talking about building a business?

I think it would come down to how you approached them. Some might be thinking about having a website business or they may already have a shop business but need to get online.

Imagine what you would like to read, that would pique your interest to go from a link to an article about WA. I would say that you would have to keep it subtle.

Let me know what you come up with if you like and we can toss it around.
