Influencer Training Classes Online
So now that these influencers have made it big on sites like TikTok, they are now offering master calssses on how to do what they did.
Just recently, Kika Kim, a well known TokTok influencer with nearly 14 million followers has launched her own website to train you how to be her and make millions on sites like TikTok and Instagram.
And while that all sounds great, before you buy, consider why Kika Kim become famous and you have not.
1. TikTok was in its infancy when she started, so getting followers was much easier and there we so many less people competing for traffic. Now you are literally competing with billions of people who want attention.
2. Kika Kim is a sexy dancer. What do you look like doing the dance moved that she does? Probably not as cute and where did you get your dance training?
3. Kika Kim is just plain sexy and young. You don't build up millions of followers on Instagram using static photos unless you look amazing and can do that several days a week in new and adorable situations. Most people wont have the appeal of Kika Kim, so even if you reproduced every pose in every outfit, you wont likely see anything close to those numbers.
4. Kika Kim hit big on TikTok early, so that following went with her to Instagram, YouTube ect. That opportunity no longer exists.
5. Kika Kim catered to an Asian market with products from Asain countries. That worked well for her since that was the biggest initial market on TikTok when it started and she fits that profile due to her Asian decent.
Just like everything else, opportunities open up and once they get over saturated the viability decreases.
If you were listing your home an Air B&B a few years ago, you did great, some listing were rented to capacity. But as it become more and more popular and more people listed their homes for a piece of the pie, everyone's piece got smaller.
People that were enjoying the extra income on their property are now struggling to get enough rentals to pay basic expenses.
The same holds true for social media platforms.
Why are influencers setting up master classes? To make money, because now they are competing with many more successful influencers for the same monetization opportunities.
What was once an easy score is now a struggle and influencer incomes are lower, opportunities are paying less and traffic to their posts is down.
Sue, maybe YouTubers like Shelby Church have 1.7 million subscribers, but if videos are only getting 50,000 views, nobody will pay you for subscribers unless you can get them to watch you promoting their product.
It is not as cut an dry as these classes lead you to believe and it is not easy.
Look, just think of it this way.
If you spent $100 on Bitcoin 20 years ago, you would be a billionaire today. But just because someone else spent that $100 20 years ago, you can't expect them to teach you how to become a billionaire buying Bitcoin.
It really is simple economics.
Of course, we would never discourage anyone from trying. Just understand what you are up against and look to people that are currently forging their way to the top in the same battlefield that you are in. Don't assume that people like Kika Kim can help you, otherwise, she would be growing her audience to 100 million instead of flopping at a mere 14 million.
