Influencers are a new type of internet celebrity who has been taking over the world in the last five years. Some might say that we see more of our favorite influencers than we do our favorite celebrity these days and that they are becoming incredibly important people in the world. If you thought about becoming one, here are five influencer hacks that may prove to be helpful.

1. Find Your Niche

The first thing to do for success online is to find what you are passionate about and use this as your content. I am known in social media as @mogulmomdujour, and my primary passion. is empowering empty nest moms to rebuke mediocrity and strive for “momfabulous” living.  Travel, Fitness, Fine Dining, Fashion, Entrepreneurship, Abundance…. hell, just dream big! An empty nest doesn’t have to equal an empty life. Think about what you love. It could be food, fashion, travel or even crafts, for example. Make sure that whatever you choose it’s something that you can create lots of content for. You will then be ready to start thinking about the type of content you want to create.

2. Be Unique

Every man and his dog are trying to break in online these days, so you need to make sure that you have something that no one else has, or be very good with what you do. It might be that you are a fitness guru with a disability: you might be a chef with lots of allergies: or you could be a fashion blogger who has no money. Choose what is unique about you and use this to sell yourself online.

3. Pick Your Platform

Although we would all love to be able to be successful on every social media platform out there, it is very unrealistic to think that we can dominate every single one. Social media is more than just posting a photo or article and leaving; it is about building followers organically, buying followers with Socialproof.xyz if so desired and engaging with your audience when you have shared a post. Choose 2-3 channels which you think suit your brand and which you know you can keep up with posts on.

4. Have A Plan

If there is one thing you need to take from this list, it is the fact that you shouldn’t just wing it when creating your content, you need to plan it out properly. Imagine what content you want to create in the next three months. You can then draw yourself a calendar and plan everything out. The plan can include blog posts, videos, social media posts and any other content you want to share. Absent an emergency or a significant news event, stick to your plan, and you shouldn’t have any issues with consistency and interest from your followers.

5. Create Great Content

This one is the most obvious, and it goes without saying. You need to make sure that you create great content to share because if you don’t, no one will want to see it. Spend time on your images, writing and social posts to make sure that they are engaging and fun. You want people to scroll to your content and click onto it to find out more. You want people to like, comment and share it because it is just so great. Make great content for your readers, and they will reward you by sharing the content all over the world.

There are a multitude of other influencer hacks that can continue to catapult you to success; however, if you can master these, you will likely become a sought-after influencer. Good luck!
