With the existence of Instagram, we now have so much to look at in the world while staying stuck in front of our screens. And while many of us bicker about this convenience that has ultimately led us to become lazy, people with productive minds are using this platform to not only purse their hobbies and passion but also to get paid for it. That’s right we are talking about the Instagram influencers. Turns out, all that amazing posts that we see and get mesmerized by watching on our screens actually contributes to a six-figure paying job for some people.
Mountaineer Meghan Young takes us on this journey that led her to become an Instagram influencer with traveling as her niche. She shares the world behind the perfect Instagram posts and how sponsors and brands contribute to them. Young also discusses the highs and the lows of this unconventional career, from getting paid to trek mountains all around the world to getting stressed about the likes and the future prospect of the Insta-influencer career bubble.
