Check out social media sites like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and look at other wig influencers’ content to decide where you want to start. An online presence is essential, so make sure you choose a platform you’ll enjoy using regularly. [2]
    • Many influencers use multiple social media platforms, so don’t think you have to stick to just one! Make sure that you’re able to balance your work between platforms so you don’t get overwhelmed.
    • Choose a unique, memorable username to use across platforms, and create a witty, attention-catching bio. Make sure your profile reflects your personality and your content.

    Your content should be both informative and engaging, so try posting things like wig reviews, styling tips and tutorials, or a tour of your wig collection. Listen to your audience to understand what kind of content they want to see. It’s also a good idea to invest in high-quality equipment like cameras and lighting once you’re certain you want to commit to influencing. [4]
    • To reach a large audience, use popular hashtags and keywords in your posts. If you’re on TikTok, try posting videos using trending sounds .
    • While high-quality cameras can boost your content, you don’t need a bunch of fancy equipment to start out. Many successful influencers started out using their smartphone cameras and upgraded to better equipment once they gained a bigger following.

Post consistently.

    Because influencing is a social media-based profession, one of the best ways to be successful is to post on a regular schedule. It’s hard to influence your followers if you only post a few times a year! You don’t necessarily have to post every day, but develop and stick to a consistent routine.
    • As your account grows, you may be able to post less often depending on your other commitments to your brand. As a beginner, try posting at least a few times a week to show your followers you’re serious about expanding your account.

    • It may be difficult to obtain opportunities with popular brands when you first start out, but don’t give up! Try reaching out to newer and smaller brands at first. Since they’re in a similar position as you, they may be more willing to collaborate. Just make sure to do your research and ensure they’re authentic.
