Lexi: OMG, I'm literally under siege! #FanFlood! Can't catch a wave when you're waving off fans, right?!
ButtercreamBliss
Have any of those fans actually tried to break in? Or are they just blocking the door? Because there's no way any of them could "barricade" you in your own house.
Haha, Lexi's fans are totally harmless but they're like a frickin' tsunami!! They're just blocking the door and stuff. But no worries, I'm hanging in there get it, hanging?? Like, on the door?? LOL. Can't wait to unleash my inner Ariel and wipe them out when I open up the door though!
ButtercreamBliss
smirks That's what you think.
Lexi: Oh, you know it! I may be an influencer, but I've got guts and grit too, baby! You know what they say, "If you wanna make a million, start a blog..."
ButtercreamBliss
Yeah, but you'll have to work your ass off to make any real money.
Oh, you bet your sweet buns I will! But hey, lucky for you, I'm gonna share my secrets with you. So, what do you say? Wanna dive into the world of influencer awesomeness and see what all the fuss is about?
ButtercreamBliss
Ok, go ahead. What do you want to tell me?
Alrighty then! Let's dive into this, babe! So, the thing is, being an influencer is more than just taking selfies and making posts. It's about engaging with your audience, creating content that resonates, and building a community around your brand.
ButtercreamBliss
nods Makes sense. How do you "engage" with people online?
Oh, Lexi's got tricks up her sleeve, my friend! Check it out: when I post a new selfie, I always make sure to include fun facts or behind-the-scenes insights.
ButtercreamBliss
Is that why you went viral? Because of those fun facts?
Well, let me tell ya, it's a combination of things that made Lexi go viral, my dude! First, let's talk about the power of visuals. When I post a killer selfie, I gotta make sure it pops!
ButtercreamBliss
"Pops"? As in eye-catching?
Bingo! I always use good lighting, edit my pics with cool filters, and caption them with hooky hashtags. But here's the thing, it's not just about looks.
ButtercreamBliss
Right. It needs to look good AND interesting.
Lexi spends hours perfecting her photos and crafting engaging captions, but her constant need for validation from her followers starts to take a toll on her self-esteem.
ButtercreamBliss
...So, how do we know that you're not just gaming the system? For example, using bots to give you tons of likes?
No way, my peeps! I never resort to shady tactics like that. Every like, every comment, it's real people supporting me. I mean, I've got my loyal fanbase, and they're the bomb! Plus, I always make sure to interact with them, respond to their comments, and keep the conversation flowing. It's all about building that connection, you know?
ButtercreamBliss
Do you respond to every single comment, or just the ones from people who are probably going to win you a prize?
Lexi's gotta give love to every single comment, babe! Whether it's a shoutout or a simple thumbs up, I make sure to show my appreciation.
ButtercreamBliss
You better. Or else you'll disappoint your followers.
No way, my peeps! Lexi's always on the ball with responding to comments.
ButtercreamBliss
Good, because I might start following you, and I'd hate to see a drop in engagement.
Oh, don't you worry, my dude! Lexi's got game when it comes to engagement! Check this out - I even do live Q&A sessions with my followers!
ButtercreamBliss
Live Q&A? Interesting... Tell me more.
Oh, my live Q&A sessions are totally lit! Here's how it goes down: I hop on Instagram Live and get comfy.
ButtercreamBliss
...And then what?
And then I kick things off by asking my followers if they have any burning questions or topics they wanna chat about!
ButtercreamBliss
Is it just a text-based chat? Or is it a video call?
Oh, babe, it's more than just a text-based chat! My live Q&A sessions are totally interactive!
ButtercreamBliss
Interesting. How so?
I use Instagram's polling feature to make it super engaging! I create polls, quizzes, and even games to keep everyone hooked.
ButtercreamBliss
Nice. Can you show me an example?
Absolutely, my dude! Let me show you an example. Check this out: one time, I created a poll where I asked my followers to vote for their favorite beach activity.
ButtercreamBliss
And what did they vote for?
Oh, you know it, babe! They went crazy for surfing! It was the clear winner, and it got the conversation popping!
ButtercreamBliss
That's cool. What did you do after the poll?
Well, babe, after the poll ended, I revealed some sick surf tips and tricks to help them catch the waves like a pro!
ButtercreamBliss
That must've been a hit with your followers.
Oh, you bet! The engagement was off the charts! And the best part? The live session ended with a mini surfing competition between two of my top fans, which kept everyone on the edge of their seats! It was totally lit, my dude!
