Influencers from Pakistan Influencers from Pakistan
Before 2020 arrives, we want to bust a myth for you: social media influencers don’t only have huge following counts. There, we said it. In the coming year, what you ‘create’ will matter more than your follower count. Social media influencers are upping their game in Pakistan, and you will lose out if you are not aligned with trends.
Based on the predictions and learning of this year, let us start off with the meaning of influencer marketing:
Social media influencers create impactful conversations. These individuals have the ability to become your advocate, and get to business!
As an influencer, you must realize that consumer behavior has changed over the course of the last few years. Your followers are your community, but they are also the consumers of your content. Can you make your consumers happy?
A successful Pakistani social media influencer will never do the following things:
- Have minimum or zero follower engagement
- No impact on the followers regarding a product or service. In other words, can’t ‘influence’
- Not change community opinions about something
- Can not contribute positively to a cause
- No ability to be motivating enough
- Little or no credibility about their area of expertise or ‘niche’
It sounds very disappointing, doesn’t it? Check again, we did not mention follower count or DSLR anywhere 😉 Successful influencers have a power within themselves, the power to move mountains! Here is what successful influencers can achieve:
- Ability to become a brand within itself
- Time for their audience, to reflect and improve
- A long-term approach to content marketing and its dynamics
- Developing authority over their niche, unlike anyone else
- Become synonymous with their niche. For example, you think of Irfan Junejo when you think of vloggers in Pakistan
The magic behind influencer marketing:
The ideology that will help you become a better influencer is that you serve a purpose in the advertising world. You must know that traditional advertising has lost its charm, and lacks that human feel.
Traditional ads don’t grab the customer’s trust just like that. They also don’t ensure a seamless buying journey for every person who watches the ad. The chances of building brand awareness are there, but minimal.
In short, traditional ads don’t convince people. You, as an influencer, have the power to do that. As a fashion influencer, you make clothes look good. Being a charity person, you inspire others. Fitness influencers, you can motivate people to become healthier.
How to stay inspired as a new influencer:
As the saying goes, do what you love and you’ll never have to work another day in your life.
Do what you love and you’ll never have a problem with a Monday.
Do what you love, and the money will follow. Influencers from Pakistan
An influencer’s world is the same; you have to prove your mettle. Popularity is only one of the many factors that work in your favor. You need to work to bring a positive impact and a roaring change in your field.
