And working a nine-to-five job to just make ends meet. This is when I realized that being an influencer doesn’t automatically  equal the monetary success that I was striving for.  And then what blew my mind was I had friends who had fewer followers  than me but were making more money than me.  All because they were offering a service with their instagram pages.  So I switched my focus from being an influencer to being a business, and  THAT is where I got the monetary success that I wanted.
