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.
