Who is a successful influencer?

You might have come across a lot of influencers with millions of followers. However, is it the only criteria to judge if an influencer is successful enough? Well, NO! There are a variety of other factors that determine the success of a creator. Let’s dive deep and learn about them. 

Authentic content: There are so many people out there who are trying their luck in the influencer world. However, one can only excel in the field if the content they produce is authentic and enriches the audience’s life. Creators need to ensure that they are imparting the knowledge that they have rather than voicing someone else’s opinions.

Audiences today are extremely aware and they understand if exposed to commercial or salesy messages and can also easily separate facts from fiction. Individuals who are in the public eye and who make statements that do not align with their actions are likely to face criticism, repercussions, or even being "cancelled" by their followers.

Engaged audience: Mere looking at the number of followers is not enough. Let’s say a creator has lakhs of followers but it will make no sense if only a bunch of them consume the content the creator shares. It is crucial to consider their engagement aspect. 

This refers to the number of followers who are actively interacting with the creator’s content in the form of likes, shares and comments. When the content will be authentic and resonate with the audiences the engagement rate will automatically go up.

Passion: One thing that nothing can beat is being passionate about something. Having a passion for what they do and a strong drive to succeed will make an influencer more likely to succeed. Passionate influencers are often more creative and have a better understanding of what their audience wants. They are also more likely to stay committed to their work and work hard to build their brand and create content that resonates with their followers.

Let’s say a person is enthusiastic about sports and fitness and they decide to pursue a career as an influencer in the domain. They are more likely to succeed than someone who is not passionate about the subject.
