There are only a few things you need to do when getting into the beauty and fashion social media influencer world. You need more than a pep talk, so that’s not what I am about to share with you.

Show people exactly who you are. 

If you build it, they will come, or in other words, your tribe will find you. All you need to do is create content that you believe in and love and people will feel your passion coming through the screen. People don’t fall in love with products, they fall in love with you and your brand since they are one and the same. So keep things real and genuine at all times.

Be ready. 

Create a website, landing page, blog, press kit, and email correspondence that you can direct people to. They will learn more about your brand and you as a person. You never know how big you can get so having content on hand with keeping you from scrambling to prove that you’re legit. This also gives your audience a way to get in touch with you and learn more about you outside of social media.

Be persistent. 

You may not blow up instantly, but you have to believe that you will! Words of advice that I will lie by forever were spoken to me in the wake of creating an Instagram page for business. “Just keep posting. People may not get it or want to be a part of it at first, but trust me, they will.” You have to believe in your own potential. If you want something bad enough, you can get there.

Engage with your beauty and fashion peers. 

Connect with those you admire in the fashion and beauty world. There are so many awesome people who are already making a living on social media as a beauty and fashion influencer. Find your lane, stay in it, and establish it, until it's time to branch out. Comment, like, feature, and share your favorite stories and posts from their page. Who knows they may want to do the same for you and that gives you more exposure.

Reach out to brands you love! 

Contact the brands you believe in and offer them a sweet deal! Advertising costs a lot of money, and you may not have noticed but more and more companies are turning their eyes (and dollars) toward influencers with loyal followings. You could offer to be a brand ambassador, model, or face of a product or line and ultimately grow a working relationship. This is a great way to use your honest feedback and brand to get paid for what you love to do, gain a loyal and trusting audience, as well as gain a “notable name” in the fashion and beauty industry.

These rinse and repeat steps are crucial in building a successful beauty and/or fashion brand! Implementing these steps will help you to get on the fast track to success. Now, a little disclaimer. This is not an easy process, but once you develop a plan, posting schedule, and everything you need for a branded Instagram page, you’ll have more time to branch out and grow your budding empire!
