How to make money online as an influencer
Austine Adhu, popularly known as Shanki Austine on Twitter, boasts of nearly 190, 000 followers on the micro-blogging app as well as a high tweet engagement.
He narrates to The Standard how he let go of his dream of becoming a journalist, and shifted focus to using his Social Media platforms to make money.
According to the artist turned Twitter influencer, a user can make money by pushing agendas (mostly business and political), taking part in video challenges, pushing organic content and by registering on wowzi.
Wowzi is a platform designed to help brands automate influencer marketing workflows and programs. It connects brands and social media influencers.
Then went on, “All a brand needs to do is to find like 50 users then pay them a range of between Sh500 to Sh1, 000. For a student, this is enough to survive,”
Similarly, a company can pay a person with a large following on social media to post videos, pictures or texts incorporating the product.
Shanki says that he had initially opened his account to sell his music and artwork but took it seriously when it started generating income and sustaining him on campus.
