I’ve been thinking about my community lately.. 

If I could give one piece of advice when it comes to a job as an Influncer/ content creator, it is to create a community with the ones who follow you. I think sometimes it’s easy to get caught up on “how many followers” you have on your platform. When really we should focus on the connection and engagement you are making with the ones you already have. 

Make an effort to respond to as many comments as you can, take the time to say thank you when you receive a compliment or nice engaging comment. Find time to respond to DM’s, I struggle with this more and more as my account grows and don’t get back to every message like I’d like to, but I can’t tell you how many amazing conversations and connections I’ve made in my DM’s. Sometimes I’ll respond in a voice message and get a voice message back (I love that btw.) Sometimes I get to help someone make a final decision on an outfit they are wearing to an event. Sometimes I make a sale because I took the time to respond about the fit of a product. Sometimes my day gets made because I get a nice message. 🥹😭❤️ Everytime you take time to respond to someone, you are creating a relationship and connection to that person!! That is one more person added to your community who loves and trusts you!! 

Anyways, just remember to engage  and work with the followers you already have. They follow you, now make sure they stick around for the long haul!! More followers will come I promise, slow and steady wins the race! (Also it’s not a race okay 😂) 

And to the best community that follows me here, thanks for the love and support. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without ya 🥹❤️ hope y’all know how much I appreciate the friendships!!
