Or are influencers born of their own accord? Well, some have the inborn talent, no doubt, but anybody with enough resolve in his or her heart can become a successful influencer, provided he takes care of these 6 steps -
1. Identify Your Space
Selecting your niche is as important as the decision to become an Influencer. Go beyond the broader categories like travel, health, food, culture, style, fashion, or politics and choose what will catch the public eye.

So, pick up what you believe you are best in and go with it, because you will be in a comfortable space to start with! In short, be different from others!
2. Improve Your Social Media Avatar
Followers flock to social media profiles that are eye-catching! So, put your best foot forward, and in the case of social media, your best profile forward! You need to ensure that your profile(s) is updated at all times and it presents a correct and honest picture of your personality. A social media handle, be it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube, is an extension of your personality, so make sure that you are up to date socially!
3. Know your Audience
