Should I try becoming a social media influencer on maternity leave?

[Babyseal23]

I always act as kind of anonymous on social media besides fb and insta and still then im extremely private. I dont have a clue on how to do tiktoks or anything like that and im very anti influencer really.

I do comment a lot on videos and stuff and my comments get like 11k likes and people say im really funny and a lot of people look up to me and when i was younger I was a little bit of an IT girl. Whatever I wore all the other girls would be wearing next week.

Whenever I use social media, my presence tends to attract a lot of attention unintentionally.

My husband says maybe i should try being an influencer whilst im on mat leave to make abit of money. His cusion is actually an influencer herself but I find that stuff embarrassing, I hate the way i look and I have a past.

I've said and done controversial things in the past most aren't necessarily bad things but in some people's eyes it would be. I can see the woke brigade would come after me and people i stuck up to trying to paint me a villain. I just think i could easily be cancelled thats why I dont think its a good idea. I also think its abit shallow

You convinced me you don't actually want to or think it's a good idea. It won't take much to convince yourself either. It's a lot of work I assume and takes forever to get going before you would even be making much. If you are desperate for money, there must be faster ways. And if you're not, then you really didn't say much about it you view positively anyway.

Agreed

No. The world doesn’t need more influencers

[Babyseal23]

I actually agree I hate most influencers but its an easy way of making money whilst taking care of a child at home and i wouldn't have to go back work if it went well. Even though people are acting like i just said im going to abandon my child. If anything most people get into influencering so they can have a easy work/home life

If it’s what you wanna do, and you don’t show your kids to the internet, do what you want.
Just don’t be one of those fools who monetizes their kids for views. Hate those people.

[Babyseal23]

Oh god no im dead against children being online

[In_Trance]

Um... Do not think you're going to have something else to do?

[Babyseal23]

Again you can be an influencer whilst having children. Not but im going to be one. Its literally making videos in the comfort of your on home in your own time not running away for 2 years for my baby to live on the streets and be raised by a pack of wolfs

Concrete on your child

[Babyseal23]

What do you people think an influencer is? You can take care of a child whilst working. It would be posting on social media not going off to fight in a war

[Opinion Owner]

Just a recommendation. I would probably say don’t post your child online if you do want to become an influencer. Too many creeps and keyboard warriors out there.

[Babyseal23]

Yeah im extremely against children being online

[Anonymous]
