Are Influencers or Online Creators "Real" Entrepreneurs?

from Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie · host Ellen Mackenzie

Back in the day, before there was MacKenzie Studios, or Dishing Up Digital, or this podcast, there was blogger and Youtuber Ellen. That's right, I come from the humble beginnings of an influencer background, before it was even known as "being an influencer". It's what led me into seeking out Social Media Management as a job. But the question that's been really bugging me, that I've been seeing online - particularly TikTok, is "are influencers or content creators "real" entrepreneurs?  This week I dive into this question, I look back on my time as an influencer and how influencer's can justify calling themselves entrepreneurs. As always, I would love your feedback - hit me up with your thoughts in my DMs. I also really appreciate anyone who has the time to leave me a review on Apple Podcasts, or rate & subscribe on Spotify, this really helps me to know to keep going on producing this content for you for free! Have a great week guys! Ellen xx ~~~ Mentioned in this podcast: Sharing Your Income Online? Ew!
