How to Build a Side Hustle as a Social Media Influencer

Social media has become an integral part of our lives, with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook all contributing to the public consciousness. Whether it's a local restaurant, home improvement, travel bucket lists, or even the latest beverage container, there's an influencer behind that—and money too, to a tune of $24 billion.

People trust social media influencers much more than they do legacy media, with 51% of respondents in an Izea survey saying that they've made a purchase after seeing a video. Younger generations also favor influencer-led platforms, preferring authenticity over the suit-and-tie approach that their parents grew up knowing.

With the glitz, glamor, money, and freedom, it's no wonder that becoming a social media influencer is a side hustle atop the lists of many people, ranking as one of the top 3. There were 27 million engaged as content creators in 2023 alone, with 8 million seeing it as a part-time or hobby.

It's time to go viral
