YouTube vloggers got successful because they were authentic, genuinely loved posting, and showed up every week to put out new content, regardless if it was getting views or not. Most people today lack that discipline.

You could say that about almost any industry that requires gaining experience through low-pay or unpaid internships

I would say the solution is to share your ideas or skills and not products

Ehh maybe but making money online or thru social media doesn’t make you an influencer

it's another thing that nepo kids will be the only ones who can afford to pay for the equipment, products, and promotions and have the time/energy to actually make a living out of it

A lot of ppl also don’t realize how much effort goes into it and how little the reward is. I rlly don’t make money from TT I do social media for funsies. Most influencers don’t get paid a ton 1/2

Don’t really think it’s a pyramid scheme it’s your own choice to buy products and post vids and they shouldn’t be going into debt for products if they can’t afford it can’t blame influencers for that

Becca | Freelance Web Designer :
but influencers aren’t recruiting other people who want to be influencers.. and there’s no financial incentive to get other people to become influencers .. which is a major part of what makes a pyrami

i hate this! you’re right! and i think everyone thinks they’ll be the next person to make $1M or have millions of followers but in the we kinda lose the authenticity that influencers use to have.

most people who are successful influencers were already rich before they started. in the same way that most people that just start a business were already kind of Rich

Please please do this for family vloggers. So many people are exploiting their children in the hope they’ll be the next big family vlogger- while putting their children’s dignity and privacy at risk

I think that's why TikTok changed the game for a lot of people. you didn't need fancy equipment and there were people that blew up by being themselves
