There’s more to being an influencer than just creating content - following trends, knowing how to monetize your content, and juggling multiple social media platforms are just a few of the topics that you may feel you can’t find an explanation for. Although a thorough Google search can answer some of the questions you may have, podcasts are a great medium to turn to - especially podcasts that are hosted by other influencers and content creators sharing their experience in the business.
We’ve already covered YouTube creators that are a great source for other creators, but informative podcasts are a great way to listen on the go, or even while you’re editing your most recent YouTube video and brainstorming content ideas.
If you’re an influencer, it only makes sense to check out The Influencer Podcast. Julie Solomon is the host of this podcast and is here to provide insight on pitching, branding, blogging, and social media. Most recently, Julie has discussed how to monetize your content on Instagram and TikTok, as well as how to land brand deals with brands you love.
