How to Get Paid and Recognized as a Social Media Influencer on Instagram and Facebook EP076


Wonder how those girls get paid to travel the world and get tons of free beauty products and clothes sent to them for free in exchange for posting on their blog or Instagram? I use to wonder the same thing…and I was determined to solve this mystery.

2017 was one of the most difficult years of my life. My entire system came to halt, I didn’t even have enough strength to take a shower or go to the grocery store.

It took many months but I was finally diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue stage 3, borderline stage 4. By the way, at stage 4 I would have to be hospitalized.  The recovery process of this invisible illness is slow, and requires multiple lifetimes of extreme rest.

Since I was couch-bound and couldn’t focus enough to even read a book (one of the many symptoms of AF), I scrolled and studied Instagram and Influencers. Truly, I was doing the prep-work and research needed to launch ProjectME with Tiffany Carter, but I wasn’t even fully aware of that at the time. My motivation was to figure out how in the hell these chics were getting paid to post and write about the cool free stuff and trips companies were giving them.

I did my reporter thing and interviewed influencers, the companies who use them, and the agents who represent them…. now I get how the entire system operates.

So of course I’m going to share everything I learned with all of you. What fun would it be keeping all of the juicy details to my self? Some of the stories are crazy, some sexist, and most are straight up about sales and money.

Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money. A former NBC and CBS TV journalist, turned multi-millionaire entrepreneur, teaching you all things wealth, health, worth, and business.

Ep 787 Why Your Quantum Jump Isn’t Making You Next Level Money Yet

You feel the shift. You see the signs. You know something is changing… but your income hasn’t caught up.

If you’ve been deep in manifestation, personal growth, and mindset work but still aren’t making more money or seeing results in your business, this episode will show you exactly why.

There’s a gap between feeling a quantum jump internally and actually translating that into income, visibility, and business growth. Most people stay stuck here—consuming content, recognizing patterns, and doing the inner work—without ever turning it into something that makes them money online.

In this episode, Tiffany breaks down what quantum jumping really means in practical terms, why manifestation alone doesn’t create financial results, and how fear of being seen, nervous system responses, and lack of execution block your next level. You’ll also learn how to turn your personal growth, skills, and lived experience into a personal brand that generates income and creates real momentum in your business.

If you feel like you go all in on your business, build momentum, start seeing things work… and then suddenly fall off, lose consistency, or disappear altogether, this episode breaks down exactly why.

This is not about discipline, motivation, or “getting it together.” What you are experiencing is a predictable behavioral and neurological pattern that most entrepreneurs misdiagnose.

Inside this episode, you will learn what is actually happening in your brain and nervous system the moment you start gaining traction, why visibility and success can trigger resistance, and how this creates a cycle of inconsistency, self doubt, and lost income.

This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and real world business strategy so you can stop repeating the pattern and start building consistent momentum that leads to results.
