[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in social media and have worked with a lot of Influencers.

It's an incredibly stressful job. Humans really aren't meant to hear nonstop criticism and insults all day, every day. And people will find your every flaw and tear you down for it.

A lot go into debt trying to build their brand and never get out. Or they're successful for awhile, start spending all their money, then it dies off and they're freaked the gravy train ended. I'm in a mastermind with YouTubers and that happens constantly - they'll build a following, make a ton of money, and all of a sudden their niche falls out of fashion and they're scrambling for something new.

They also end up working extremely long hours. It looks easy enough - how long could a 30 second video take? - but it's a constant grind of finding brand deals and selling stuff.

That's why I prefer working behind-the-scenes. I'm not the one being torn down. If a client falls out of style, I can always go find a new one. I don't have to go into debt pretending to be rich.[/quote]

Yes, the rest of us knew this and that’s why we scorn social media influencers. I would be sympathetic except how much sympathy does when deserve when they make tons of money for literally contributing to the downfall of society?[/quote]

+1 if it's so bad and so hard for them, maybe get a real job?

It's not like a stressful job that actually adds value to society like being a firefighter or an ER doctor.[/quote]

Don't pretend being a management consultant is contributing to society[/quote]

I didn't. But I was responding to the PP about how being an influencer is so hard. I would have the same reaction to a "woe is me" management consultant.[/quote]
