7 Signs That Show Your Partner is Over Jealous

7 Signs That Show Your Partner is Over Jealous

If you’re in a relationship and you want to know when your partner is jealous, there are few signs of jealousy in a guy that you can use to find out.

Getting jealous in a relationship is pretty common and normal. If you love someone very much, you would naturally not want that person to have the same affection with someone else that isn’t you. Seeing your partner being too affectionate with someone will definitely make you jealous.

Jealousy comes as a result of fear or insecurity about losing someone. I was reading a post in a daily newspaper, and strangely, I found out that guys get more jealous than girls in a relationship.

Losing someone special can trigger more negative feelings, like anger and resentment. Therefore, knowing these signs of jealousy in a guy can help you identify when your man is getting envious, because, honestly, we won’t tell you.

Signs of Jealousy in a Guy

1. He Stalks Your Social Media

When a guy is jealous, he would want to know what you have been up to. Especially when you go out with friends, and he feels you have told him the details enough.

And what better place to verify, if not your social media posts?

One sign of jealousy in a guy is, he is always checking your social media pages to keep a tab on you. This might be as a result of him wanting to know who you’ve been hanging out with and what you’ve been doing.

You might be telling him about your day and he’d say “So why was his hands over your shoulders” and you’d be wondering where or how he saw it. My sister, you have been stalked online.

You can reassure him by being more open and letting him know the boundaries you have with your friends. It’s left to him to work on his insecurities.

2. He Gets Mood Swings When You Talk About Another Guy

You know how much men love their pride? If you have no idea, go to a football viewing center on a champions league night and observe the men whose team bottled the trophy. There is always an invisible competition between men.

It’s the reason why I don’t like muscular men. All those muscles won’t take them to heaven.

Another sign of jealousy in a guy is his reaction whenever you talk about another guy. For clarity, never compare your man with another, except you are about to praise your man.

Your man can feel uncomfortable when you’re talking about another guy, even if it’s telling him how you were helped to cross the highway. It’s okay if he feels jealous. I mean, if I had a girl, I would want to be her Captain America and Thanos.

What you should look out for, is your man’s reaction when you are telling him about another guy. Does he suddenly sound unbothered? Tries to downplay the conversation? Or shrugs it off?

3. He is Suddenly Overtexting  

I love to text my girl a lot, and I mean a lot. (Ha! Alex, you have a girl?)

It is pretty normal to receive 5, 6 text messages from me at once. However, not every man is like me. Some find texting very inconvenient and would prefer to message in short form.

When your man, who does not fancy texting, begins to blow your phone with messages, I’m glad to tell you, my sister, you have a jealous man on your hands.

Receiving multiple texts from a guy you know doesn’t text much is a sign that he’s jealous. I mean, it’d feel weird on your part as a girl to receive a lot of text from someone you know doesn’t like texting.

He suddenly wants to know what you’re doing at that moment, if you’re at the office or at the shopping mall in need of an abaya. I have seen this happen to my friends in class, and it can be so funny.

4. He Begins to Question Your Friends and Family

You can identify the signs of jealousy in a guy by how far he’s ready to get to find out more about what you’ve been up to.

A jealous guy who wants to know what you’ve been up to and who you interact with would go as far as asking questions from your friends and family.

Sometimes, he might even want to win them over to his side. He suddenly becomes an undercover FBI agent and goes around asking about your activities from your friends.

This can happen because he’s probably not convinced about his trust in you.

5. He Begins to Act Very Possessively

 A jealous guy would naturally be a possessive guy. He’d definitely not want to share what belongs to him with others.

You know how children have a special toy they wouldn’t release to anybody, not even their parents? That’s just the type of possessiveness a jealous guy would exhibit.

When your man begins to dictate who you should talk to, the kind of places he doesn’t want you to go and the companies you interact with, then you should look out for actions that show his jealousy.

I have had friends who wouldn’t want their girl to go for an outing because she was too pretty. I find it funny because if I have a beauty, why would I want to hide her?

6. He Gets Too Clingy

I am putting this out there now. I am a clingy guy, and I get very attached to my girl. I like to hold her tight. But I also want my girl to have a life of her own outside our relationship.

 A jealous guy would act more needy than usual. He would want to spend more time with you than necessary and that would hinder you from having your personal space. If you can’t boast of having your own space in a relationship, check out the boundaries you’ve set.

Most times, he’s probably not spending time with you because he wants to. He’s trying to avoid you spending that time with someone else that’s not him.

Look out for the kind of conversations he brings up when you’re together. Is he comparing himself with someone you know? Probably someone you’ve talked about before?

7. He Gets Very Reactionary

All it takes to let out emotions that have been suppressed for a long time is a simple issue. As simple as you forgetting the remote on the chair when it should be on the table.

When a guy is jealous, he would react way out of proportion over things you might consider flimsy. Say he’s trying to call and can’t reach you; he’d get upset when he does reach you because it’d leave him wondering what you were up to.

Overreacting is another signs of jealousy in a guy. If he begins to drag issues or flare up at the slightest provocation, there might be underlying emotions waiting for expressions that you both might have to talk about.

Conclusion

It is natural to be jealous when you have a partner. It shows you actually love the person you’re with.

What is unhealthy is when you do not address reasons why you are jealous and allow it to affect the beauty of your relationship. If you notice some of these signs of jealousy in your man, a simple chat can take away his fears.

Guys are too proud to tell you how jealous they can be. We won’t admit it, but we feel it. If you’ve had scenarios with a jealous partner, let me know how you handled it in the comment section.

Maybe, just maybe, when I get jealous too, I would know how to handle it.

We cannot deny the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria today. A lot of people are left without jobs, especially with the 2020 pandemic. Nonetheless, there are lucrative businesses you can start with little or no capital here in Nigeria! I know to most, it sounds bizarre and ridiculous, but it is true.

The truth is that there are a lot of opportunities in Nigeria and all we have to do is search for these opportunities and the rest is history. Some advantages to these lucrative businesses are:

  1. You put your destiny in your own hands. No one can tell you what to do when you are your boss.

With these advantages and more, you can see that a business especially a lucrative one is very important and beneficial to an individual and the economy at large.

Now that you must have known some key advantages to a lucrative business, let me educate you on some lucrative businesses you can start with little or no income in Nigeria…

21 Lucrative Businesses You Can Start With Little or No Income in Nigeria

1. Blogging

Blogging has earned a place amongst the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria. Because of globalization, a lot of people prefer sourcing for news and the latest gossip from the internet. As you must know, bloggers make money through direct advertisement, ad networks, affiliate marketing, product sales, sponsored posts, partnership, and many more. Take for instance the famous female Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, who started blogging in 2006 and became an active blogger in 2007 using a blogger sub-domain. Now she is the richest blogger in Nigeria earning at least N50,000,000 a month.

On average, high-end bloggers makeover N20,000,000 every month in Nigeria. It is easy to start with very small capital. To start a self-hosted blog will cost you about N4,000 for the domain name and N27,000 for hosting for a year. You pay both for a year. That is just less than N35,000 to start a business that can make you N20,000,000 every month.

2. Furniture Business

The good thing about this business is that people will always use furniture. People seat, sleep, write, cook, etc on furniture. So why not start up a little furniture business to get more money?

You can open up a little carpentry shop with as little as N10,000. All you have to do is get the required tools and a plank of good wood, make a piece of furniture, put it on display, and let the beauty of that product speak for your pocket. I do not know anyone who started a furniture business and did not go far.

Furniture is an essential commodity and you can earn a minimum of N10,000 depending on your location and high demand for furniture in your area.

3. Social Media Marketing

With so many people spending most of their time on social media, it has to be among the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria. Social media marketing is all about using the social media platform to find leads for businesses. You can work independently and help businesses make the best of social media or you can promote and sell products via social media.

Social media is a very large market and it is also a branch of digital marketing and marketing on this platform is lucrative and a profitable business in general. A social media marketer gets an average of N50,000 to N200,000 depending on the agreement on their pay. So, why not start marketing for small companies, a good place to get companies to market is on Linkedin, you will get a lot of companies especially if you input social media marketing into your profile and portfolio.

4. Dry Cleaning

The good thing about this business is that most people, especially busy workers rely on dry cleaners for their laundry needs. Companies and organizations make use of dry cleaning services very often.

Take, for instance, states like Lagos and Kano which have at least 10,000,000 million people, and at least 60% are busy workers who need dry cleaners at all times. Why not exploit this opportunity? This is a very lucrative side hustle where you earn a minimum of N5,000 a week if you are in the right location. So why not go for this…there is this lady who comes to my compound in school, every week and she gets at least N3,000 a day if there are a lot of people looking to get their clothes and rooms cleaned.

Dry cleaning is a very lucrative business and it does not even require any capital at all! All it requires is your manpower and willingness to work.

5. Carwash Services

The purchasing of cars in the country is very high and the car wash business is in high demand, therefore, starting this kind of business will bring in a large profit. The car wash business is fast rising in the country and some people started this with no capital today they have at least N40,000 in their account. This business that people overlook is lucrative.

You earn at least N2,000 a day. Too small you may think, but multiply N2,000 by 7, that’s N14,000. That means you earn N14,000 a week! Some days it may be less than N2,000 other days even higher. The bottom line is that the carwash business is a lucrative business that you can start with little or no capital in Nigeria.

6. Another Lucrative Business to Start With Little Income Is Hair Making

If you can make hair, then this lucrative business is a win for you. The good thing about this business is that it is not gender-based, although some people will say otherwise.

Hairdressing is one of those businesses you can start with little capital. You can start with a minimum of N20,000. All you need to do is get the required equipment like hair dryers, combs, hair creams, shampoos and conditioners, mirrors, chairs, some attachments amongst others. This is a very profitable business because women along with some men cherish and want to see their hair neat at all times. With this business, you can get a minimum of N50,000 only if you are in the right location with high demand for your services.

I have this friend who is into hairdressing. She makes wigs, plaits hair, and even does dreadlocks. She gets a minimum of N80,000 a month. Christmas period she gets at least N100,000 because of her services and her talent for making hair. My guys, you aren’t left out because I know some guys who have done my hair for me and I was so impressed with their work that I had to tip them.

If you can make hair as a talent, or know how to make hair as a skill then hairdressing is also a lucrative business you can start with little income in Nigeria.

7. P.O.S Business

A lot of people do not know the profits one makes from a P.O.S Business. You can cash out big time from this lucrative business, if you own your P.O.S stand, you serve as an agent for the bank whose P.O.S machine you are using and you can get an average of N50,000 depending on the bank. Or if you are a sales boy or girl working at a P.O.S terminal you can earn an average of N10,000 depending on how you agreed to be paid.

P.O.S business does not require much to start, the main thing is that it is one of those few businesses which requires putting little capital and watching your pocket grow over time. Looking for a lucrative business to start with little capital in Nigeria? P.O.S Business is it for you…

8. Agricultural Practices

One of the best ways to make money on a tight budget is to become a farmer. Now by reading this you would think I sound ridiculous. Well, I’m not. You won’t have to buy any piece of land for this and even if you don’t have access to good land, you can always start with a flower pot.

This is a very lucrative business because it gives you profit. In a country like Nigeria that is blessed with good soil and a lot of crops, one would say, exploit your opportunities. You can start with vegetables like waterleaf or go for other crops that cost less but grow fast and would require little attention. As time goes on you will be earning a million naira a year.

I have an uncle who harvests rice and he supplies 200bags of rice a year to local markets. Just imagine how much he makes a year, this business is good and lucrative, I for one would love to venture into this lucrative business.

9. Trading Cryptocurrencies

This is more like an investment that has the potential to make you rich, however, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme and you are less likely to make a profit in a matter of months.

While this business is lucrative, especially in the long run, it requires patience and tactics. You have to be patient, especiallywhen there is a little downfall (dip) in your transaction. If you are looking to only be buying and selling, it is also good especially when there is high demand and the cryptocurrency you are selling has a lot of value.

If you are great at this business, you can cash out on an average of N1,000,000 and build your portfolio quickly, however not the business for someone looking for quick cash, like I said earlier. Cryptocurrency is a lucrative business that requires a start-up capital of N100,000 if you are looking to go far as time goes on.

10. Selling Recharge Card

Selling a recharge card is one of the easiest businesses to start on a small budget. You can easily make a profit though it would be minimal, if you are selling at a busy terminal point, your turnover would be huge by the end of the month. You can get an average of N20,000 a month depending on your location some days you can even get as high as N50,000. Also, you could easily sell N10,000 worth of recharge cards in a day and count your profit.

To get started, you would have to get connected with a vendor and as time goes on, you can move to sell for mobile companies like MTN, Airtel, GLO, Etisalat… this is a lucrative business to start with little capital in Nigeria.

11. Photography

A lot of people may not know this, but photographers make a huge amount of money. One earns a minimum of N50,000 depending on the deal he or she is doing and how skilled that person is.

Photography is a very lucrative business and requires little capital to start. I have this friend who is into photography, he just recently got his camera and he told me that photography does not require much, just get the right camera and the right models or environment to snap and let your work speak for you.

12. Painting

Painting too is a very lucrative business to start with little or no capital in Nigeria, especially when you are talented in this area. A lot of unemployed people I know have turned to paint as their haven and it has proved to be very profitable to them.

A friend I know makes a minimum of N20,000 on each painting he sells, and this is because he is skilled in this area and he has used it to his advantage and he is gaining money. Painting is really good and is a lucrative business to start in Nigeria. You can take any of your paintings or drawings to an art gallery near you and strike a deal with them on payment and all and you have your money coming into your pocket with a sweat.

13. Acting as an Agent for Car Dealers

Selling cars is indeed a lucrative business that requires no capital at all! This is indeed a profitable business if I do say so myself. You don’t need much at all, all you need is a car stand owner to help market your cars and you get your cut on each car you sell.

You can get any amount of money in this business, you can get an average of N5,000 to millions if your deal is huge. I deal with cars and I can tell you that it is indeed a lucrative business to start in Nigeria with no capital at all. It also leads you to get to know more people thereby building connections and giving a higher knowledge 0ncars which works in your favor.

14. Writing

Writing to some is a skill while to others it’s a talent but only a few use it as a business tool. It gets you more money than you could ever imagine! Especially when it’s on sites that pay you well. It is very lucrative and enhances your skill in writing as you go on.

You can earn a minimum of N2000 a month or sometimes a week. Too small you may think, as you journey through writing, you enhance your writing skill and you get paid higher as time goes on. A site like a fiver pays well and is good for writers to start with.

15. Real Estate Agent

The land is the most valued asset in the world, everyone knows that, and earning money from the most valued asset in the world is a golden win. The amount of profits most realtors earn is most at times in millions, no matter the currency.

The land has never depreciated that is why most, if not all rich people invest in land, by building houses and giving it out for renting or buying lands and selling.  A realtor can earn a minimum of a million depending on the deal, and mind you most land deals are always high, we talking of at least N100,000,000 for Nigeria at least. So you can imagine how huge your profit will be. And it does not even require any capital especially if you don’t have money at all. Just get acquainted with someone who owns an apartment complex and then helps them market and gets your cut. It is a very lucrative business, I have friends in this business and it has proved fruitful for them.

16. Food Business

Everyone loves food. Even those who claim to be on a diet have to eat. So this is enough opportunity to use to work for your pocket. There are a lot of food businesses in the country and it still is not enough because an average human is supposed to eat at least 6 times a day and we all have a preference of food we eat. So why not pick up a particular food or some foods to learn and use to make money.

To start this type of business is not hard when you have a food delivery company that helps you deliver your foodstuff to your doorstep. This business is indeed a lucrative business that requires little start-up capital in Nigeria.

17. Be a Cab Driver

Rent a car. A cab driver in Abuja earns an average of N12,000 every day. This business is worth giving a try by investors. You can register on any driving app like Bolt or even Uber

This business is very lucrative and can earn you a lot of money. It is one of those few lucrative businesses in the country that you can start with no capital at all. All you need is a required car and the needed credentials.

18. Cake Production

Cake production is a profitable business in Nigeria that requires small capital. The cake is the most consumed baked snack in Nigeria. The demand for cakes especially at birthdays, weddings, events and anniversaries is very high. Cakes are very cheap to purchase.

The cost of starting this business all depends on how you want to get started. One can earn a minimum of N30,000 depending on the event of the day or of that time.

This is surely another lucrative business you can start with little or no capital in Nigeria.

19. Act as an Agent to Sell Gadgets

Technology is fast rising and the world is moving into the digital world rapidly. 90% of Nigerians own a gadget and 60% still want to buy more gadgets. Gadget business, be it phone, laptop or whatever is a lucrative business for serious mind understand the market and have a business idea.

10 Easy Tricks to Get More Followers on Twitter

10 Easy Tricks to Get More Followers on Twitter

In this article, I am going to show you some strategies to guide you on how to grow your Twitter account within a very short time. One might obliviously be wondering on how on earth would the number of Twitter followers be of any service to him. Well, this write-up is going to unravel to you the benefits of having a large audience on Twitter.

Social media in this era is enormously important in our day-to-day activities. Practically, all the businesses in the globe have at this moment resorted to using social media for the advertisement of their goods and or services. It is therefore significant for a business to have a considerably huge number of social media followers if it has to succeed.

Despite Facebook’s having the largest user database of over 2.85 billion users across the globe, which makes it the largest social media platform. Twitter s not left behind too, with about 320 million users as of January 2021. the reach and quality of Twitter followers is quite promising and more convincing to most of the businesses looking for the best atmosphere to promote their products.

We, therefore, find it worthwhile to share with you, 10 proven procedures to help you grow your Twitter account within a short time.

How to Grow Your Twitter Account Quickly

1. Tweet Regularly and Consistently

Unlike some other social networking sites where 2 to 3 posts per day would be sufficient for someone to remain in the race, Twitter requires that you post much more than that. Given the nature of the platform such that it moves quite quickly in a way that tweets only last for a few minutes on one’s timeline, it is, therefore, crucial for someone to post more frequently in a day at least 8 to 15 times a day.

Note that you’ll have to be posting meaningful and relevant content on your timeline. Filling up your Twitter timeline with fresh and meaningful content lets your followers know that you’re active, engaging, and well, worth following.

2. Optimize Your Profile

Another strategy on how to grow your Twitter account in a short time is by optimizing your profile. This is by filling in all the necessary information to convince potential followers to follow you. The best way of doing that is by concisely optimising your bio.

Make sure that you fill your bio with the right and a convincing message about yourself or your brand. This will attract relevant followers to your account; people with shared interests with you and those looking to connect with someone with your type of idea or services you provide.

3. Have Professional Profile Picture

Some people ignore the importance of profile pictures and end up putting something irrelevant. You must set up a credible profile such that whoever visits your page will know that you are legit and trustworthy.
Upload a personal profile picture if it happens to be your personal Twitter account. Ensure that the picture is clearly recognizable with your face visibly identifiable.

Also do not forget to change your Twitter profile header’s background from the default blue background to something meaningful. Like something about you, a picture of you, or even a quote about you or your brand.

4. Frequently Relevant and/or Trending Hashtags

Utilization of relevant hashtags in your tweets is a great way to get more views from new and potential followers. But it is imperative to note that not all the hashtags that you see or come to your mind are worth using.

Therefore you need to find the one that is relevant and has the potential of making your tweets reach a larger audience of people with presumably an interest in your content.

5. Attend to Mentions, Replies, and Retweets Almost Instantly

If you really want to grow your Twitter account quickly, you should be actively engaging back with your followers by responding to their comments and mentions on tweets on your feed or theirs.

This will help you build an active and engaging Twitter handle, which means more retweets and therefore more followers.

6. Find the Right Time for Your Tweets

In trying to find out some good ways on how to grow your Twitter account quickly, you don’t have to spend all day searching or tweeting randomly. All you have to do is to find out the right time your followers are likely to be more active on the platform. This will help you have engaging tweets which will, in turn, lead to more retweets and likely more followers as a result.

Let say, for example, most of your audience or your followers are busy during the day. It is therefore not good advice to tweet during working hours. Tweeting during non-working hours such as in the evening or during the weekend is highly likely to help you keep an engaging Twitter account.

7. Retweeting Some of Your Old Tweets

The habit of retweeting some of your tweets, most especially your best tweets is a sure way to expand your reach and as such the opportunity to gain more followers. Asking your followers to retweet (call to action) do at times tend to be a good way to increase your retweets.
Retweeting other people’s content, especially those relevant to your niche is also a good way to build an engaging account which will ultimately result in gaining more active followers.

8. Follow The Relevant People

Following people with interests similar to yours is a popular strategy so many people have been using in getting more Twitter followers. Though this might not be a very effective way, such that you may end up following someone without him following you back, it is still a proven strategy that has worked for some people.

9. Include Images and Videos in Your Tweets

Tweets containing visual contents such as videos and or photos were found to perform better in reaching the target and desired audience than those with only plain text. Using stunning images in some of your tweets is a great way to grab the attention of your target audience.

A tweeted thread with a captivating and relevant photo is highly likely to get more engagement than the one with only plain text. Tweets containing visual content receive more likes, shares, and retweets than those without them. This is because our brains respond so quickly to images as it tends to be an irresistible attention drawer on Twitter and other social media platforms.

So proper usage of attractive photos or videos in your tweets is yet another powerful method for you looking for how to grow your Twitter account quickly.

10. Share your Twitter Account to Other Social Media Platforms

Another tested and effective method of growing a Twitter account is by simply sharing your Twitter account or profile link on other social media platforms. Sites like Facebook and Instagram are good outlets to amass huge valuable followers, most especially if you have a large following or friends on any or both of them.

Conclusion

Growing a Twitter account is not a day job, it is a gradual process that requires patience and dedication. Do not think of taking shortcuts such as relying on some shady tools to amplify your network with bogus followers, it’s meaningless.

So take up these 10 easy tips delineated above to successfully grow your Twitter account.

Don’t forget to tell me how it went in the comments box.

10 Steps to Becoming a Social media Influencer

10 Steps to Becoming a Social media Influencer

Social media has grown from simply a collection of websites to an online community that builds relationships with users interacting with each other from all over the world education, growing businesses and expanding, and even selective advertisements. Becoming a social media influencer is now a thing

Becoming the new age celebrity, or rather, social media influencer involves growing, creating credibility in a specific industry, and being able to affect purchasing or involvement decisions of people that follow you. Below are ten steps to put you through on how to become a social media influencer.

1. Pick Your Platform

Picking the social media application is the basic step on how to become a social media influencer as are different ways of engagement for each platform with its own target audience. Think carefully, survey every platform, decide your target audience and create an account.

2. Find Your Place

Every social media influencer has an area of specialization or a business niche where they fall under. Having an area of specialization where you are passionate about and work well with, will help you build yourself.

3. Post Engaging and Interactive Content

There is a lot of diversity on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, different things to explore and new things to discover. People will only engage with your content if it’s something they can relate too or something that invites them to interact with it.

Twitter: The first step to attracting people to you on Twitter is making your bio eye-catching. Following and staying up to date with trending issues, using the right hashtags when dropping your opinions, using viral content and words with a bit of smartness and humor is a nearly fail safe way to attract people and build up your stage. It is also important to post consistently and respond to followers and replies to your posts.

Facebook: This has the largest audience on all social media platforms and includes audiences from all age ranges. An easy way of drawing attention to your page or account is writing captions that not only reflect your area of specialization but are also controversial enough to engage people. Post your views and opinions on important matters and use the right hashtags.

Instagram:  A very important skill in attracting an audience and becoming an influencer on Instagram is being active and posting true and engaging contents. Whether it is writing or comedy skits, it is important to be consistent with your posts and engaging with other people’s posts too, following and engaging on posts by other influencers.  An attractive profile with original contents will earn you a follow faster than you think and using the right hashtags is important as well.

4. Consistency and Patience

One thing that puts everyone, especially people on social media, off is inconsistency. If you won’t be able to create content every day, the best thing to do is create a lot when you have the time, then schedule post time and dates. Posting engaging content only to disappear and reappear after a few days will only make people disinterested in you. Note that while consistency is great, you still have to take care not to overdo it as that could lead to easy disinterest. Posting your content at the same time after the same period of days or a day would be a good way to go.

Be patient, nothing happens in a day. Your followers might start as small and might not be encouraging at first but as long as you stick to being consistent, you’ll slowly build more followers.

5. Only Post Original Contents or Give Credits to Original Owners

You cannot become an influencer by copying other people’s work or claiming them as your own. There are different things you can do to attract people to your page, it could be singing, dancing, or anything at all. All you need to do is sit and note what you are good at, then utilise it. Social media is a wide, open place and the chances that you will be discovered is nearly a hundred percent. You could even try to teach people how to become social media influencers yourself!

6. Grow Your Network

Being an influencer isn’t something you can do alone, it isn’t a one-man island. Communicating with, and even doing a collaboration with other influencers will boost your audience and influence.

7. Engage with Followers

A mistake some influencers make is ignoring their followers and only interacting with fellow influencers. This might anger your followers and diminishing your audience, thus putting a roadblock on your influencer journey. 

8. Avoid Any Sort of Negativity to Any Race, Tribe, or People

Whatever your personal opinion might be, remember that you’re posting on social media, where hundreds of thousands of people will be able to view it. Do not make posts that may imply hatred or dislike to a particular group. People’s opinion on your content matters where brands and sponsors are concerned and one thing is certain, the internet never forgets.

9. Stay Updated

New things are happening every minute, new trends, discoveries are being made, dramas happening, etc. Be sure you are on the know, become a go-to for your audience, somewhere they can be sure to always get the latest updates.

10. Enjoy What You Do

Building up followers, content creation, becoming an influencer, all of these are things that take time and happen slowly. Be sure that whatever it is you are doing, it is something that you, yourself enjoy and find joy in doing. If not, you’re likely to get exhausted after a period of time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you follow and stick to the steps above, especially the last one, you’ll be sure to build a base of decent followers that will continue expanding. From there, brands will notice you, start sponsoring you and then, you can become an influencer. Remember that all of this takes time so don’t give up midway.
