5. You’re Still Working For Someone
Although these social media entrepreneurs are technically self-employed, their “job” is still demanding because they’re still working for somebody. In general, you don’t get paid as a social media personality or blogger until you have enough followers and a big enough online presence. Usually companies prefer those with 5,000+ followers in order to collaborate. However, just because you have a lot of followers doesn’t mean you’re set to go. There needs to be an actual brand that is genuinely interesting to the audience. Companies aren’t going to pay you for an artificial business. Therefore, you’re still working for someone and need to follow a set of guidelines.
Even if you’re not in it for the business, the platform you’re using is still making money off of you. According to Investopedia.com, each Facebook account was worth $5.32 so that’s right; Facebook is making money off of you even if you don’t use it anymore.
