Initially, I was not sure that an application can change someone's life. But it happened to me. I got confidence, fame, and many on.
If I want to share these credits with someone means I give them to SAHANA. She is my sister's daughter. But I treat her like my own daughter. Many videos I will post with her. Most of the videos of us Went viral and most of my followers love and like my niece. She is my lucky charm always.
I would like to thank everyone who supported me till now. I’m not perfect. But I’m being myself. True to me at least. I'll try to Entertain everyone as always.
1. Tell us about your background and
journey
Hi, I’m Vishal Menon L
I have started musically in 2019. But I had a passion for the media. So I was looking for a platform to explicit the same. But when I ever I try to do something. People will mock or make fun of me. So I'll stop the process and continue my routine work at the time only I got to know about musically.
Initially, I was making videos on it. But I didn’t get much appreciation or likes on it. So I left the app just like that. Then I got introduced to the Dubsmash app. Same I started using it and posting videos. But my friends made fun of me like anything. So I stop doing videos on that too. Then we all know TikTok came.
I didn’t start my Account on it. One day my
friend asked me about TikTok. That day I felt let’s give it a try on this too.
So I decided that day and created an account on it. It all started from it. But
I was thinking about what will make me unique from others. Then I chose my
voice and reality videos of my family and me. Then it gave me everything back.
2. What led you to start your page on
Instagram and what is it about?
After TikTok got banned. I was moved to use
Instagram. But Instagram gave me more access to media people to get attention
easily.
My page is all about me. I post fashion,
comedy, dance, celebrations, and travel. I don’t wanna stick under a single
category. I’m so particular about it. Still, now I’m maintaining it. If someone
views my profile he/ she should be like something relevant will be available on
my profile.
3. How would you distinguish the term
blogger from an influencer?
I don’t say myself a blogger or influencer.
Because I don’t want to stick under a single category. Because sometimes I act
influencer and sometimes I act as a blogger. It depends on my post. I love to try new things and give thumps to
all possibilities out there.
4. Is it financially sustainable to be
an influencer today?
No, you need more money. Because people love colorful. It means you should look perfect on your profile. So for that, we should be well dressed. And traveling and makeup and fashion shoots. So financially well must for an influencer to set up the ground.
5. What do you think influences consumer
behavior?
People are different. Sometimes they'll
show you the extreme love and some time will get extreme hate also.
So we should be prepared for both. And
whatever we say or do. It should not like by everyone so we should accept that.
And you should be open to Critics. Then only we can grow up high.
6. What is your idea of success or your
mantra in life?
Be you.
I’m being me always.
I love the way I’m
I love my family. Most of the time I spend
with my family.
Still in the learning phase.
Accepting everything as they are. Treat
everyone equally
7. How can someone become a successful
social media influencer?
First, identify what will make them unique
from other creators. Then try them and post them on the social platform. Then
we get to know how people like it. And showing different things also will lead
to good results.
8. Which is your favorite book and why?
I don’t read books. I listen to my mom. Her name is Sudha. I’m a single-parent child. She is my inspiration/ role model. So whenever I feel low or something I'll talk with my mom. The story she says makes me strong and gives me the strength to face anything. She is the reason I’m today.
