I believe, a blogger is someone with a website where they host a blog and publish their own original, valuable content. When you use your niche knowledge for creating informative and engaging posts, it builds trust with your audience. Great blogging makes your niche look credible, which is especially important if your brand is still young and fairly unknown. It ensures presence online and niche authority at the same time.
1) Tell Us About Your Background and Journey.
My name is Agnes. But my friends know me by the name Tanya. I honestly don't really like my real name but my mom loved the name "Tanya" and she thought she would name me Tanya. But we have had this family norm where the kids had to be named after their ancestors so here I am as Agnes. I am an 18 years old student living in the city of dreams Mumbai. I am sarcastic and funny.
I started writing blogs at the age of 17 it was really a means to pass my time and after people reading my first blog(i.e.my skincare routine) told me to do it often and take it as a means to building something great.
2) What led you to start your page on Instagram and what is it about?
I did not really plan on being where I am today, I was just a 17-year-old kid whose main motto was studying and building a life. I started my Instagram with around 1k people following me, when I wrote my first blog they really loved it and so I thought to myself "Why not?"
I wrote my second blog and then my third. It was a great experience. Soon brands started approaching me asking me to endorse and review their products by writing blogs and making videos and posts for Instagram. Everything was so surreal.
My Instagram is all about Beauty, lifestyle, DIY, hacks, and positivity. Today I am an 18year old with almost 15k people following on Instagram, which is very weird for an 18-year-old who came on top all by herself which is what I think. Lol.
3) How would you distinguish the term blogger from an influencer?
I believe, a blogger is someone with a website where they host a blog and publish their own original, valuable content. When you use your niche knowledge for creating informative and engaging posts, it builds trust with your audience. Great blogging makes your niche look credible, which is especially important if your brand is still young and fairly unknown. It ensures presence online and niche authority at the same time.
Whereas an influencer is someone who has the power to affect the purchasing decisions of others because of his or her authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with his or her audience.
However, what separates an average influencer from a great one is their skill at content creation. Great influencers can provide creative images, captions, videos, and blogs that really show a brand in its best light while staying authentic to themselves and true to their followers.
4) What do you think influences consumer behavior?
I believe that there are a lot of things that impact a consumer's behavior, and mostly and firstly is how truthful and honest your review is about a certain product. Consumers on social media look up to influencers for recommendations and advice on products.
A positive influence will encourage the consumer to buy the product. Secondly, I'd say is Influencer marketing can work wonders for brands as it attracts more customers. Also, consistent posting and being active can make your reach level grow and gain views.
5) What is your idea for success or your mantra in your life?
My idea for success... Well
There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world one those who are afraid to try and two those who are afraid you will succeed. So be positive and keep moving forward because opportunities don't happen. You create them.
6) How can someone become a successful social media influencer?
Be you and be yourself it doesn't matter if you have an iPhone or an Android or some high-end camera, these things don't describe you. Be creative with your ideas, throw out your real self, be confident about what you portray to the world, love yourself, and do what you think. If you think it's funny in your head just do it doesn't matter if you look stupid too, Love yourself first, love your imperfections, self-love is important, and being confident in your own skin is important.
