I Used To Be a Self-Help Guru; Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Listen to People Like Me
I didn’t have the time to work, so I was looking for side hustles or something part-time to make money with.At that time, phrase and meme accounts were popular on Instagram and Twitter (Accounts with photos of personal improvement and jokes instead of content from a real person). Everyone followed at least one of those accounts, and they received a lot of engagement in general.I have a cousin who had a meme account with over 500,000 followers, and she told me she charged for promotions and was making some good figures per month with her account, so I decided to create one, too.My goal was to grow an account to the point where I could charge for promotions and pay for things while attending school.To not completely copy my cousin’s Instagram, I decided to go for personal development and offer self-help advice, and I got very popular very soon because, unlike other accounts, I had a support section for followers in which I responded to DMs from them asking for help with something they were going through.I proclaimed myself a personal growth expert. I helped women in their 30s and 40s cope with their lives as a couple or any situation they were going through. I helped teenage girls fight to accept their bodies and insecurities and helped young people in their 20s understand their career paths and options.I even got accepted into the Amazon influencer program with that account and started promoting books, diaries, and other things that could help others somehow.
