A simple question was asked "Do you think you can become an influencer in the social media world?"
This question took me back to yesterday and back in time, I will explain everything to you all so sit back and relax. Yesterday, I sat down to write on a topic "The hardest of 2024" As I was writing, my laptop restarted and the fact was that I wasn't writing on a document saver so everything I wrote just disappeared. I was feeling sad and I wrote about it on my WhatsApp status and in 2 minutes, over 20 people already commented on it.
You might be wondering how that was possible. Well, I have over a thousand followers on my WhatsApp which is why I now use two WhatsApp.
If I were to be an influencer, I would do very well because I know my niche in content creation. I am a very good storyteller and in my stories, I love to add more sauce and juice to keep it interesting and the audience attached to it.
I have been writing funny stories on my status since 2019, some of these stories lack some iota of truth in them but this is what people love to read. In a short while, I started getting requests from people saying they got my number from this and that and they would like to watch my status.
Fame right? Yeah, the fame came at the cost of my mental health. For me, I can become an influencer because I am from Mars and I understand Humans better but I don't have the mental capacity for it.
I am the kind of person who just wants to be a billionaire in a gathering of 100 people without anyone noticing me. A simple lifestyle, yeah?
There was a time when my phone kept hanging due to hundreds of messages and calls from unknown numbers. I wasn't even making money from it. Probably if I was making money I would have stuck with it a little longer but Nah, I love my peace.
One thing that would make me turn down being an influencer is that "I don't like too much attention" I like attention but not too much attention. I just want to come in like the VIP that I am, greet some people then go to my seat. I don't want anyone jumping on me, and my phone to disappear.
I have tried it before, I worked but it wasn't worth it for me. Currently, I work for companies and their social media team to create content for them on their social media page and also video content. I am ok with that.
If I had a choice which I do, I just prefer creating content for other people to do, then I see my work shining through others. I don't have to be on screen to be relevant, someone from Mars is always relevant and I am trying to hide my identity.
Finally, now that you have read all that. You might be confused as to who I am. My name is fashtioluwa, a creative writer, a content creator, a technical writer, and the alien Hive. The one from Mars. It's nice to meet you. Don't forget to drop a comment and this is a prompt entry for the hivelearners community prompt challenge.
Thanks for reading. See you later.
A peaceful lifestyle is perfect bro, not much people fancy stuff that makes them to show on screen, as far as lt's what we want, we should go for it.
Exactly
We can influence other without being in the big screen everytime
Yes, you are right.
That's nice of you, you are right if you want to become a social media influencer you would have, but you keeping your life private and attracting less attention is something I also love.
Yeah
That’s what I want to do
Peace of mind over it all
You don’t want anyone jumping on you for your phone to disappear?🤣 Anyway I agree. I love how private I am as a person and as at now nobody is interested in my lifestyle but being a influencer will get people snooping around asking me how I make my money, how I have this and that. Probably something I’ve been having for ages but never got anyone’s attention until I became an influencer so no, thanks
You got the gist
I just want my cash and private life in a low key way
Being private doesn’t mean I won’t post or have fun
But not all the paparazzi stuff the influencer are doing.
I won’t even be able to talk to a random girl on the street again, someone will snap me and post it with the title
The famous alien on hive having a conversation with a girl in hijab from Ghana, who might she be? 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
Juicy title, let me save it for later when I see you with that hijab girl.
@nhaji01 😂😂😂
For how long will you hide that lifestyles of influencer and celebrity bro
😂😂😂😂
I like the backstage
I see🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Normally citizens of mars no de like show themselves😂😂 what really got to me is that people jumping on you mk phone no disappear. You think the body guards that follow celebrities is child's play or decor???
Pleaseeeee
You don’t know how many times olamide phone has been stolen
Social influencer don’t have that much security to start with
Heheh😅😅
I’m glad you love it.
I have been hiding from that man for a while now
You see that too much attention is what I hate most in my life, because once you are a public figure then not rest of mind for you.
What I don't like most about being an influencer is their fake lives and how they live beyond what they have.
I get it, sometimes it is what people want to see but then, nobody will be at them if they live their normal lives but they might not trend like they should sha.
Yeah
I just want to live a simple life and not worry about what I have and what I don’t
