My favorite part of being a influencer is having so much support behind me, it’s super nice to have people genuinely care about you! And I love my supporters so much, we’re like one big internet family! I also love being able Become a influencer, to help people with what they are dealing with and putting smiles on people’s faces, making a person happy makes me happy and feel good by the time I lay my head down, even if I’m having a bad day, talking to them whether it be on live or in the DM’s or in person I feel so excited and happy, in high school I didn’t have friends so to see thousands of people take interest in me and become part of my family trying to make the world a better place for social peace is what I love almost about being a influencer

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

-Be knowledgeable of who you consider to represent you, it’s a social business, you wouldn’t want misrepresentation
– work with more than one influencer, the goal is to get the brand more exposure and increase engagement
– ghost followers are usually those who follow you but view your content rather than interact, to convert a ghost follower you have to do something that benefits them so offering a certain percentage off a product to a random person who tags 3 friends for example will increase engagement, Enguagement is key
– the influencer is representing you so why not include them, tell the influencer about upcoming products that haven’t been released yet. you don’t want them to get the same information the same time everyone else does, Making a influencer feel special is a way to keep them motivated to stay with you
– if it’s anything I’ve learned from being a musically representative is events! Host events where the influencer of your brand and your support can attend, will further success your brand, a lot of times it’s the interaction rather than the brand itself, if people see what you are capable of doing as a person on terms of hosting a fun event (where of course your merchandise is being sold) and social interaction they will buy your product even if it particularly isn’t their style, you’ll attract others who are usually opposed to your merchandise to drift to your side
– Always Consider "What’s in it for them" when considering a influencer, it’s not really easy for someone to help out a strange company who randomly messages them, which also brings it to trust, you have to gain your audience trust or they will never buy from you, provide a safe and legible environment within you brand. Do not allow anyone to disrupt the flow of your brand

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

Always be ORIGINAL!!!! Copying off of others success will only make you a copy and eventually if one can copy, all can copy, even if you feel like you’re only capable of creating a Orginal ball of nonsense you never know, there is always someone out there who will love it! Originality is so Beautiful, it shows you that that your mind can think and see things differently than others and putting it on a blueprint is even more beautiful! Your originality in your content is you, be yourself in every way possible

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

I love the experience, networking with successful branding and even ones on the road to success, I love to see and idea come into fruition, especially if the quality of it is universal, it’s a joint unit with one focus point and that’s the drive I look for, partnering with brands will also move me one step closer to my desired career
