You will have to maintain a great personality online to start influencing people. Popular brands usually start to reach out to people who have a lot of followers (usually 1000 to 10000 followers), have a great connection with their followers and are constantly posting quality content that people engage with.

Sometimes, you don’t need to have tens and hundreds of thousands of followers to be “good enough” for sponsorship. Actually, many brands are starting to see that people with fewer followers than hundreds of thousands and millions have much better engagement and prefer them more. So, it’s not always about the number of followers, it’s about attracting an active audience that cares about what you post/endorse. Please don’t fall for buying fake followers at any cost, they’re nothing but numbers.

To become a successful influencer, you can try the following:

Endorse products or services sponsored by brands
Become an affiliate and earn a commission selling branded products
Become a brand ambassador
Create and sell your own product or service
Promote your posts through paid ads
Sell licenses for your photography or videos

If you have a good lifestyle, personality, friends support, and leisure time to spend on Instagram then you can become an influencer after a particular period of time. And if you want to know more, do some research and read about famous Instagram Influencers to get inspiration.

Wish you all the best!!!
