Maria is a TV host, blogging expert and all-around badass in the world of social media influencing. In this podcast episode, she shares with us the hard lessons she's learned along the way to build her personal brand and create an income from doing what she loves. What you'll learn: How to go from amateur to professional as a social media influencer The best strategy to land new collaborations with the brands you most want to work with What brands are looking for when considering an influencer How to stay consistent with your content and not get caught up in the numbers Why it's important to focus on engaging with your audience How delegating task can take your productivity to a new level as an influencer

In this podcast episode, we learn the import of what it is to see everyone on social media as humans, and not just another comment or direct message in our inbox. It was an absolute pleasure interviewing Mr. Scott Eddy. He really opened up my eyes and helped me realize the importance of seeing my Instagram followers, Facebook fans, etc., like actual people. He stresses the importance of humanizing your attack on social media and approaching it as an opportunity to engage and connect with real people who've shown an interest in you. Instead of focusing on the ways you can monetize and gain more followers for your own benefit. Honestly, Scott has been one of the most "real" and unapologetically honest guests I've interviewed to date and I couldn't be more excited to take what I've learned from him today and apply it immediately myself.

In this episode, we have Catherine Wagner (also known as Catherine "Wanders") who is a top fashion, travel, and lifestyle social media influencer. But, what makes her special and unique from the other is that she's the owner of a digital agency working with influencers to bring them more partnerships with brands. I really pick Catherine's brain on what it's like to work with influencers from the perspective of an agency. Asking detailed questions such as, what do the brand agency's consider annoying (pet-peeves) when working with influencers? Catherine is successful on both sides of the game, as an influence & brand agency! With this knowledge she was able to share a lot of detailed insight that will save you from losing brand collaborations & looking like an amateur social media influencer when you're expected to produce like a professional!
