The Accidental Influencer: How to Become a Person of Interest Without a Plan | with Asha Christina (Host, Quality Queen Control) | Ep 86

Growing a following online allows you to reach a larger audience and increase visibility for your podcast, resulting in more opportunities for collaborations, sponsorships, and other monetization opportunities. But unlike what a lot of online gurus will tell you, sometimes the best strategy is simply to have no strategy at all! Is that REALLY true though? Did Asha Christina have NO strategy to get her first 10k followers on Instagram? Or her 227k+ YouTube subscribers? Or her 200k+ podcast downloads/month?

Tune in to hear the unique and empowering story of how Asha "accidentally" became an influencer (& what you can learn from her journey), including: what exactly drove her YouTube channel to reach 227k+ subscribers and 10.7M+ views, and how long it took her to see monetary results in her YouTube creator journey; how long it took her to reach her first 10k followers on Instagram, and what she's been doing to maintain a 5.4% average engagement rate (2% over benchmark!) at 35.7k followers; how her existing social media following impacted her podcast launch, and whether or not her online influence has continued to fuel her podcast success; hidden gems that will take your content creation to the next level and keep you motivated, even when it feels like no one is paying attention…and so much more!
