Fame on social media has a price.
This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is "Can You Be An Influencer?".
Nowadays, with the whole issue of globalization and the Internet, networks,social networks have become very fashionable and it is very clear, especially about the new generations, that people have turned to creating content because they find it very seductive to earn a living through publishing, or showing nonsense on social networks. And I understand that it is something very attractive, because I myself dedicate myself to creating content and have been making a living from this for eight years. The issue with this is that there is a lot of work in creating content, from the precise moment in which you think or develop a plan to make the content, to the entire process that goes into preparing to do it, and everything that comes after doing this content. Being an influencer is not something that is simple, that is easy. Perhaps it seems to all these people who see the process from outside as spectators, something very easy, very simple to do. But it's not, it's completely difficult and involves a lot of so being an influencer is not something that I would do, I would not like it, because it requires, it involves many responsibilities being the image. Influencing other people involves having a clear goal and objective, projecting a particular image. In addition to this, when dealing with the public, we must immediately accept that the person who is going to be an influencer is going to be criticized. You will receive positive and negative feedback, and this is something that must be handled very carefully. Know how to behave, and also be exposed because you are publicly recognized. I wouldn't like it if people were asking me for autographs all the time on the street, or that they were asking me to take photographs all the time. It seems very uncomfortable to me that I will NOT be able to go quietly to eat somewhere, or do my shopping daily without having to be interrupted. Or that people are asking me things. This is the problem that most influencers have today. If you ask any of these famous people, they will tell you that they have made decisions, for example in the case of Spanish influencers, they have decided to go live in Andorra, far from their loved ones and the activities that they usually do carry out. But it is precisely because they want to have privacy, they want to be able to live their lives. You have to have a series of values and ethics to be able to communicate what you want to those populations, to those people that you are going to influence. We have to be very clear about that when creating content, these are people we are dealing with, these are people we are going to give a message to, so we have to be very responsible and serious. This is a business that has to be taken with a grain of salt, that has to be managed with care, and that in many cases requires a team that is behind all of this. I tell you this because I have worked as an editor for several channels on YouTube, I have been the administrator of several pages that they have millions of users, this requires management of social networks, it requires an entire team that works together to project an idea and to promote a brand, to give the desired image of that influencer. It is something that requires a lot of responsibility and I repeat: it is something that I would not be willing to do. I prefer to continue making my content without being an influencer, and only that people follow me because they enjoy what I do, they enjoy my honesty and that they simply see me as an equal, not as an influencer but as another cog in society, who is doing his part to help us all have a better life.

I'm here to give you a hard time again. I liked the quote and certainly talent without work is nothing, and work without talent is worse. You fill the social networks with garbage. Mysteriously though, work is valued even if there is no talent. This is oedipal type phenomenon that I will not explain now.
About influencers, I love them, they are my negative (or positive depending on how you look at it) example. I notice and do the opposite of what they do. My greatest aspiration is to be an anti-infuencer, that no one takes me into account, neither for good nor for bad.
As for Andorra, they have left to avoid paying the taxes that our politicians spend on subsidies for their friends, on meals, on travel, on bureaucracy, on subsidizing the pharmaceutical mafia, on wars, on indoctrinating the youth, on giving money to Melinda Gates, etc. They have not left because of a privacy issue.
And I hear you, being an influencer is very hard, you do well not to be one. You are something better, a good creator.
Sorry, but as long as comments are awarded I'll make them long and heavy, I don't want awards. The anti-influencer lives better without awards, enjoy life being a mirror, which is much better.

This is my biorhythm for today and what is coming, the next few days are horrible, I have no intellectual, no emotions or anything, so don't expect much from me these next 15 days.
I'm stupid, I don't know what to say, I can't think, I'm numb, and I mean it very seriously. This usually happens to me from time to time, this is that time.
The green is the emotional(floor) the blue intelectual line.
Pronto verás frutos, lo sé ☺️
ya, eso lo se, pero que no es ahorita coño. que estoy días ando podrido y me siento mal, que no quiero responder nada, no me nace.
Certainly, most of those who are (influencers) don't care and create it just to upload it...
but you're right when they take away their privacy 🔏 and they can't leave in peace...
being famous isn't easy, you get into a game of madness, pressure and deception
That's why I prefer not to be an influencer, and live as a normal, unnoticed and calm creator.
I understand it and I understand it perfectly... I share the same dilemma
Some of us view influencers to be simple but I believe influencers have so much at stake both to protect and even to reveal. It's an irony but influencers have ended up being influenced by the very people they influence.
I believe influencers can still be relevant without having their everyday lives on the social media.
A true influencer does not need to share his life on networks, but rather uses his influence to create a better world.
La idea de que ser influencer es solo diversión no es asi; realmente requiere dedicación y mucho trabajo y manter una imagen. Creo que deberíamos valorar más el esfuerzo detrás de cada publicación y recordar que hay personas reales detrás de esas pantallas. Yo tuve una época pública en radio prensa y tv, y realmente no es sencillo, mantener una imagen, feliz noche mi estimado @manclar
Hello, @manclar, sometimes you see the process from the outside and think it is easy, but it is not.
But there are also a number of empty influencers who only do dances, pirouettes, etc. and are called influencers, and the worst thing is that they have millions of followers.
As a very famous Psychology says, we are losing neurons because we spend a whole day on a screen looking for something to replace the emptiness and loneliness we feel. but that's a topic for another post...
In my opinion, I don't want to be an Influencer, I just want to leave a message and a lesson in my publications, learn to tell stories and for my post to have value for me, the message I leave is more important than being an influencer of anything, as I have seen cases.
I agree with you my dear @eve66, what counts is building a better world, as long as the message is transmitted, the messenger does not matter. I hope that with time this will be achieved, you do it, so do I, others are struggling.

@manclar(2/5) tipped @eve66
Yes, definitely being an influencer is quite complicated, creative content and being the image requires time, dedication and a great emotional burden, since sometimes managing criticism can have a very great mental weight, of course if it is not managed well. excellent pots @manclar

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 0/75) Liquid rewards.
I think that those people who call themselves influencers, are misusing the term in my opinion, just for the money they receive easily, without dedicating time to study their preparation, there are many that their content lacks value, rather leaves anti-values. There is a need for a guide to make effective decisions that will be a blessing for everyone in the society in which we live.
@manclar, I paid out 0.394 HIVE and 0.075 HBD to reward 5 comments in this discussion thread.
I think all people who post original content on a social network are creators. Then, when that creator has a large and consistent mass of people following each of his/her creations, then he/she becomes an influencer.
You can try to be an influencer from the beginning if you want, but no one will hear you. Nobody will even know you exist.
