Podcast – The Problem with Social Media Influencers

There are some things you need to be aware of when it comes to the influencers you follow on social media. You must establish whether or not you trust that specific social media “influencers” are being authentic and not just trying to sell you something. Establishing this trust may even save you a lot of money. I also talk about sponsored ads and how I do my best to authentically implementing them into my podcast episodes. I hope you enjoy tuning in to this one!

Some advertised posts are so obvious… I’m not going to name any names, but I’m sure you know what I mean. I see on Instagram often the “coincidentally” placed skinny tea in the background of one’s photo, and in all honesty, I just find it sad. It hurts me to see that people are posting about products and feigning their adoration for them just to get the pay in return. You must protect yourself from social media influencers who make you feel like you NEED something you absolutely do not need. And from influencers who say they use things regularly when in actuality, they do not. In this episode, I’ll give you some questions you can ask yourself when deciding if it is healthy or not follow a specific account on social media.
