Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Betsy Cothron @BetsyCothron

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

I am a born and raised Nashvillian, and I love it. Being raised around music, and having a love for music instilled in me from a young age helped shape who I am today. I am currently attending Berklee College of Music, and majoring in Music Business. I am also managing a couple of up and coming music acts, and am an avid photographer.

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

I love doing concert/live music photography.
I love to post my day-to-day activities when I’m not posting concert photos.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I kept it simple. . . Just my first and last name!

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

I use Lightroom, and Photoshop to edit my pictures.

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

I follow a lot of fellow music/concert photographers, but I also keep up with beauty Instagrammers as well.
For photography, I love Adam Elmakias, and Tom Falcone.
For beauty and lifestyle, I love Acacia Brinley, and Jefree Star.
I do not like to say I have ONE specific Instagrammer that inspires me the most because I like to pull certain elements from every account/Instagrammer I follow!

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

Capturing the little things.
So often, we post a big event, or a grand spectacle we experienced. Try to find something as small, something that speaks softly to you.

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

I love connecting with my followers! I love it when I get a message from one of them. I love hearing about their stories, and sharing a bit of mine!

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

My biggest suggestion is repetition, being clever, and having a clean design.
Make sure the campaign is something that you truly belive in!

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

Instagram is sharing your life with the world. You want to show who you truly are through your content. Originality is key. Someone scrolling through their feed is not going to want to like another picture just like the last ones they’ve scrolled past!
Quality is important as well. If the photo is grainy or pixillated, your followers are not going to want to like it!

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

Learning about new brands and companies.
I love seeing new products, and new marketing strategies!
