Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Wes Michaels @WesMichaels

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

Currently I’m working as a Psychotherapist helping children and troubled teenagers. I have a focus on growth. A lot of people get frustrated and lose all confidence and hope because they’re not sure where to start or how to over come obstacles in their lives. I like to sort out those issues and help them approach their goals and biggest dreams… After all, anything is possible if you put your heart & soul into it.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

I tend to post photos of myself as I also model independently. I enjoying leaving a motivating caption explaining how I felt at that specific moment I posted the selfie. A lot of my posts are Health, Fitness & Positivity movitated. I preach positivity and self care.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Wes Michaels.. the name is a derivative of my entire name Wesley Michael Gobèr. I struggled with my family a lot as a teen. I don’t feel I got the proper guidance a teen should receive from his parents so I dropped my last name and now go by Wes Michaels.. guess at the time I just didn’t feel like I was part of a family so I gave them back their last name that they gave me. If that makes sense..

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I tend to use the filters and edit tools that Instagram has to offer.. sometimes I use my Snapchat filters too.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

I got mad love for anyone trying to accomplish their goals. The internet is a fantastic portal to the world. I love seeing young kids and hungry adults accomplish their branding/marketing and what not using the internet. The internet to me is a highway to receive and give knowledge… now if we could just get kids to put down their phones and ride a bike or climb a tree that would be great. Do kids even play kick ball or hide & seek..?

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

They gotta try being more open minded to the differences of others. We all have different views and our feelings hurt in different ways. I’m not sayin you gotta be an ass kisser, but we gotta get better with having a mutual respect… and parents need to be a larger part of their children’s lives.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

My favorite part of being an influencer is making a positive difference. I love the fact that I can help fight a battle for someone, that I can help create traction and attention for a cause or a specific need. I love to lend a helping hand, being an influencer means I can be there for anyone and everyone, I like that a lot.

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

Constituency is key, and please don’t over saturate your market. Have tact and get the kids and your fans involved with your efforts… don’t be to cool to talk to the people that comment on your brand.. those that are commenting are powerful users, let them carry your torch by allowing them to be apart of your community. Accept everyone and accept all criticism and be thankful for it.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

Nobody wants a fake. There’s enough fairness out there already & it sucks. Do yourself a favor and start your journey with genuinuity & authenticity. Do it all from your heart. Remember those that have a ‘why’ to live can bare with almost any ‘how’.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

I like being a part of something, I love the energy and the friendships made.
