Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Joe Amichia @amichia12

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

I am a civil engineer by trade. 9 yr published model that has been on WeTv, CBS, Lifetime Tv. Film actor. Ghanaian descent. Born & raised in Atlanta, GA. Possess high energy, punctual, charismatic, witty, gregarious, fun personality & great attitude! I’m coach-able and know how to be a team player.

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

My topics of interest are fashion, health/fitness & acting. I normally post about the modeling and acting industry, motivational tips and exercising.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My Instagram name is a combination of my last name and the day I was born. Lol I also have a pronunciation guide for followers to properly say my name correctly.

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

Instasize is my go to application. I like how you can edit and place your full image on there. Instagram usually cuts off a full length photo due its size resolution. Layouts and Memes apps are cool also. Layouts allow a user to have multiple pics in one post. Memes simply add words to a photo.

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

@chakabars as he stands for world peace. @longmoneyluc for opportunities to build wealth from your smartphone. @wesleymilliondollarvirgin – he gives motivation/inspiration to live your best life on your own terms.

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

When brands/campaigns allow an influencer to be themselves and create their own space with a company product. It’s like holding the title “creative director” with multiple companies and not just one.

7) What’s your favorite part about StarNgage? Any exciting campaigns that you have joined through StarNgage before?

Honestly, I just joined and I am flattered. StarNgage seems like another solicited email because I usually get a lot of those from bogus (influencer platform). After searching your site StarNgage is awesome and I am looking forward to creating some magic on here!

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

Don’t buy fake comments/likes because it will show. For example, I had one brand reach out to me a while ago with 64K followers and only 1 comment on their recent post, not a good look especially for a potential influencer and/or follower who wants to purchase your product.

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

Stand out. Start a new trend. Don’t be afraid to be bold and different.

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

Not only getting paid but genuinely being interested in their products. It’s all fun to receive free products and actually representing that brand outside on social media (i,e. wearing their t-shirt, hat, etc.) when a campaign is over.
