• Identify your audience

Social media has people with different interests, ages, and backgrounds. Sara notes different people will react to content differently. Once you identify your audience, it becomes much easier to foster trust and build long-lasting relationships. This is because they identify with your content and find it appealing.

• Stay up-to-date with the trends.

Sara stresses the need for staying up-to-date with the trends in the industry. Sara adds this is why, in choosing your niche, it is crucial to choose something you are passionate about. This will not only help you in creating content but also in staying up-to-date with new trends. Following something you have no interest in or no passion for is pretty dull, says Sara

• Be consistent in your posting

With random posting, you might not get engagement from your audience, says Sara. When you are consistent in your postings, the audience becomes aware of what to expect. This helps them associate and relate to your content more.

• Network with other influencers

As an influencer, networking with other influencers helps widen your scope. For instance, as a model, Sara collaborates with other influencers in the fashion industry, and she can showcase their clothes on her platform. This is also helpful in promoting awareness as your audience becomes familiar with the other party’s products.

• Invest in creating an engaging Bio

For most people, the first thing they will look at before making a judgement on whether to buy into your content is your bio. In creating a bio, Sara notes the importance of adding contact details or including other relevant links to help different brands contact you. You should not miss out on any opportunities simply because you left out contact information.

In addition to this, as an Instagram influencer, Sara says writing meaningful and captivating captions will help you spark a conversation with your audience.

All in all, it is essential to note that success takes time to happen. You must be prepared to put in the work, be determined, and be ready to take risks.
