Have you ever thought about becoming a social media influencer, but had no idea how you would… influence?
In this episode, I chat with Erica Marie, stay at home mother of 4. Because Erica was quite discouraged there were few influencers she could really relate to, she decided to start her very own Facebook group. Her goal was to create a community of women just like her. Well today, her FB group has surpassed 50k members! And, not to mention, it generates a comfortable income for Erica, as well!
Erica shares how she got started, the systems she created and her personal no tolerance rules (to create a safe and drama free community of women).
This show is a must-listen for anyone curious about growing a business/brand online. The opportunities to become a micro-influencer are now super obtainable because companies are looking to team up with people who have smaller followings — due to their better engagement.
