Influencer Marketing has certainly emerged as one of the most trending strategies for brands to gain visibility as well as reach people through their trusted face. Despite the boom, there are a lot of budding and aspiring influencers who wish to make it big in the industry, but lack guidance. In order to share useful tricks and tips, Entertainment Now News recently conducted a valuable Instagram Live Session.
The show, titled INFLUENCER AS A CAREER, focused on how to be a good influencer. The guests included International Bestselling Author and trendsetter in the marketing industry, Author Abhishek Kapoor, and Marketing Guru and Founder of Collabadda, Abhinav Shukla. The show was hosted by the very talented book blogger and PR expert Amrita Singh.
Abhishek said that the influencers need to focus on the importance of ‘going with the trend’ and keep the quality of the content high, while Abhinav said that followers and growth have no correlation between them.
“I don’t consider the person who promotes brands on all his/her posts to be an influencer. Why would anyone follow you if you just promote brands? Nobody is interested. Unless you provide something valuable and helpful to the people through your content, you are not a good influencer,” said Abhishek as he went on to name Yog Guru and business tycoon Baba Ramdev as one of the influencers from the real world.
“Influencers are the one who influence people in the real sense of the word. Anyone can copy the idea and content from others, but what’s the unique selling point then?,” said Abhinav. He also shared an example of a YouTube channel having 190k+ subscribers but millions of views on all their videos.
The event, which was hosted by Amrita through the Cherry Book Awards page, was a smash hit. Team Entertainment Now News would also like to thank The Daily Beat and XpertTimes for being the news partners and helping take this valuable session to as many people as possible.
