Do you know your WHY? It’s the first and most important question that needs to be asked when you decide that you want to become an Influencer.
We started with the Ultimate Guide To Becoming An Influencer, which gives you an outline to the following steps to start this journey. The main reason some people say they want to be an influencer is because of the glitz and glamour and just the fame. But being an Influencer is more that just what is seen by the eye. It requires an ability to connect with your audience and connect with them on more than just a social level.
Now let’s have a little fun, and by fun I mean a little work…
Let’s start with finding your niche.
If you’re having a difficult time identifying your niche, do these 3 steps and make a list:
Step 1: What am I most passionate about?
Step 2: What am I most knowledgeable about?
Step 3: What topic do I find on both lists that are the same?
Now let’s get to your WHY
Write 3-5 reasons why being an influencer is important to you.
I want to be an influencer because _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
The reason can be anything just make sure it resonates with you and what you believe.
For Me…
I am an influencer because empowering and influencing other women, especially mothers to follow their dreams and trust in themselves brings me joy.
I am an influencer because I want to help women see themselves clearly and embrace their beauty, strength and learn to love themselves.
I am an influencer because I know how hard being a mother is and no one should feel that adulting and mothering is a one man job.
last but not least, I am an influencer because I want to build a business and a legacy for my family and children that’s built on longevity, integrity, hard work. I want to show them how hard work pays off!
Try to answer as many reasons for why if you can. 🙂
Here are a few questions to help you…
- What gets you excited and up in the morning and not able to sleep at night?
- What are you willing to struggle for that you would work day and night to accomplish?
- If you didn’t have a 9-5 job or have to rely on working a full-time job to live what would you do?

Nailing down your niche and finding your why will…
