I regret taking this course so late in the game
I decided to take the LadyBossBlogger Course, Make Money As An Influencer as a gift to myself so I can fast track my goals. I regret not taking one of the LadyBossBlogger courses a year ago. As I went through the influencer course I realized that I did learn a lot on my own in the past year because I had been exposed to most topics in this course. For all intents and purposes, I am an influencer. However, if I would have invested in learning from someone like Elaine Rau, the founder of the LadyBossBlogger courses when I first started I’d be an influencer with higher earnings today. I was indeed exposed to much of what is in the How to Make Money as an Influencer course before I took it, but Elaine explains the why’s and the how’s along with providing tools and the networks you need to succeed. I like to win. I set goals. I like to reach my goals. A huge takeaway from this course that spoke to me personally is actually from one of the course bonuses. Elaine lists traits that successful influencers have. Trait number one: They (Influencers) are PROCESS DRIVEN not goal-driven – stop thinking about your destination(s) and fall in love with the journey. Yes it’s important to set goals and you will always have more goals to hit, but 99% of the time you’ll be in “process mode” which is a constant state of learning, improving, and growing. If you’re goal-driven, you’ll run out of steam because it’s exhausting to start back up again. I found that one Influencer trait description to be so true. As a goal-driven individual, I must remember to be dedicated to the process and not just reaching goals on my impatient journey to replacing my income. Speaking of which, I mentioned in my last blog post that I needed to work on consistently posting. Elaine mentioned that posting frequently is key. So, I challenged myself to post every day this week and already my engagement on Instagram is up. I’m even getting more reach via hashtags which seriously suffered when the Instagram algorithm changed last Fall. Now I know I need to be consistent not only on Instagram but also with my blog. I’ll only gain the traction on my blog with consistency. I also mentioned in my anniversary post that I have never pitched a brand. I still haven’t pitched a brand directly, but I did join some of the networks that Elaine suggested and applied to some campaigns. I was awarded some of those paid collaborations! I’m also getting more brand offers in my inbox than I did a month ago due to my consistency on Instagram. So, I will be coming back to this course time and time again as a resource. How to Make Money as an Influencer is packed with money-making processes that I need to implement into my daily routine. I’m glad I gave myself the gift of knowledge and I recommend anyone wanting to monetize their influence to take one of the LadyBossBlogger courses.
