Remember how when you were little your mom would ask you to get off the internet and do something productive in the old days, or simply the times when one could not make money off the internet but how times have changed now.
Internet and social media platforms have become a great way for content creators and influencers to make money nowadays and specially on platforms like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok influencers and creators can make a great amount. However, the main factor that determines your earnings is your follower count.
Big shot celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kylie Jenner and soccer Cristiano Ronaldo make around 1 million dollars per post according to Instagram analytics tool company Hopper HQ but that is because they have a following of over 200 million on Instagram. So is it necessary for a normal person to have such a huge following to make an amount?
