9. An Honest (and Mouthwatering) Conversation about Social Media Influencers with Special Guest, Chelsea aka @HungryGirl_MPLS
Influencer.
It's a term all social media users have become all too familiar with. It's also a highly sought after job title for the up and coming young adults. But what does it actually take to become an influencer?
I had the honor of interviewing Chelsea, aka @HungryGirl_MPLS, who has grown her instagram channel to roughly 12.7k followers over the last 6.5 years. Her channel features some of the most mouthwatering photos of food and drinks (seriously.. you want a food recommendation.. stop reading this and go follow her) and also highlights hidden gem destinations and travel content.
In this 40-minute episode, we discuss...
- The origin story of Hungry Girl
- Advice to users interested in growing and monetizing their social media channels
- Green flags for brand collaborations
- Red flags for brand collaborations
- Setting boundaries with social media when you use it as an income source
- Food for thought (pun intended) for brands or business owners who want to build a lasting, successful working relationship with social media influencers
- Ghost followers and lurkers...
- Final thoughts about making a difference and following your heart :)
