A Dubai based global influencer shares tips for being successful on social media

Do you wanna be successful on social media?

If YES, then this is for you.

* Don't start out by trying to make it on social media. Just do something you love and document it. The most successful fitness influencers didn't start out wanting to be fitness stars on social media, they were already doing what they loved.

* I just started uploading my experiences of driving different cars on my old personal Instagram account, and the following grew. Then I turned it in to something more professional. 

* Try to do something unique, be consistent and don't sell yourself out to brands just to get something for free. It won't help you or the brand in the long run. 

* Respect your followers and believe in your brand.

* Don't buy inactive or fake followers either just to appear more popular to brands. Why would you want to spend all this time creating content just so it can be seen by people who don't exist? It will hurt your account in the long run and it also hurts brands who trust in you and your reach.
