Becoming an Influencer

I get asked a lot about becoming an influencer.  The truth is it is not a walk in the park.  A lot of people think I just sign on and bam I am an influencer.  This is not the way it works.  Yes, I do get to try out some awesome stuff and I do get to work from home.  Both of these are great, but these is also a lot of work that goes into it.

Before you start a blog or anything else is to pick your subject.  Now to be honest I never had a specific topic.  I do try and always keep it family friendly and in that I have found my subject.  If you are truly passionate about something then go for it.  If you are like me and love so much you can go the Lifestyles rout, I took.

One you have picked your subject pick your name, make sure its not taken and work on getting your social media number up.  Start interacting with people.  Social media is going to be a huge part of your blog if you start one or even just becoming a social media influencer.  You are not going to do it without the numbers.  There is a lot of work on Instagram and if you don’t have the numbers you won’t get the jobs.

Work on your pictures.  Posting great pictures is going to be huge.  Now I have to admit I need to work on my pictures.   This is something most of us could also use a little help with.  Make sure to do your research and practice, practice, practice.  The better your pictures the more interaction you will get on social media.

Once you have worked on these it’s time to get your name out there.  You can join different influencer programs to get recognized and even apply for jobs.  You have to be on this.  You will get emails from a lot of them but checking daily for jobs is a must.

There are so many different kinds of jobs out there.  Between social media post, blog posts, events, and so much more it can be a blast.  There is a lot of people out there trying to get that one job.  You will have to make sure you stand out.

I would like to point out,  you are not going to become rich overnight.  Most of us never will.  If this is something you are thinking of doing to get free stuff, this is not what you are looking for.  Becoming an influencer is a lot of work and you must be dedicated.  You will not work 10 hours a week and be good.  If you truly want to have an online voice and have some fun then this may just be the job for you,

 

Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Arrives on Digital 12/31 and Blu-ray 1/14

We got Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil free in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

I have to say #1 was one of my favorite.  I could  not even think of how they would make a #2 yet they did it and it was fantastic.  Maleficent and Aurora have lived the dream for many years.  When Aurora gets proposed too everything seems to be falling apart of Aurora and her godmother.

I have to say I never though a Disney movie would ever make me feel bad for the bad guy, but from the beginning I feel so bad for Maleficent.  Yes she does make some mistakes, but for the most part it is not her fault. When dinner with the soon to be new family happens everyone thinks Maleficent has cursed them.  I on the other hand don’t think it was her at all.

I love that Maleficent has found so many of her own kind, but I wonder if this will help her with Aurora or hurt her.  With all these mystery’s and more this movie had me sucked in from beginning to end.

The animation and the costumes are amazing this is truly a great movie for the whole family.

Bathroom Remodel

It’s a new year and a lot of people are looking into home improvements.   This can be a long and tired process for a lot of if you find the right people then it can go smoothly.  One thing I always dream about is a bathroom renovation.  We all have that one room that we would love to upgrade and make more our own for me it’s the bathroom.  There is nothing I like more then a relaxing bath at night.  Of course, I could use more room and a better bathtub.  Here are a few things I would love to upgrade and make it my own.  Come dream with me and add what you would love to do in the comments.

Lighting

My bathroom is so dark I would love to add some extra lighting for when I am getting ready.  There are so many to choose from making sure you have the right lighting can make a huge difference when getting ready or even taking selfies.

 

Bathtub

I have just a plain old bathtub.  My mom just recently got jacuzzi tub and I am in love.  Not only can I actually lay down and be fully covered in water but there are nice relaxing jets that’s a huge plus.  When picking the right bathtub, you will also have to remember to check how much room you have.  There would be nothing worse then finding your dream bathtub, buying it and finding out it does not fit.

More room

Speaking of making sure you have enough room. I would love to get more room in my bathroom I share with little guy and it seems like all the room I have is for bathtub toys.  Can you picture a fantastic little sitting area to dry off and put on lotion OMG heaven.  Now depending on your house this may not be possible.  If it is not having the right people to help you pick fixtures and other items for your bathroom can really add some space you never knew you had.

 

Now even though I dream about this I know one thing.  This is not something I can do on my own.  Home improvement especially with plumbing is not something I will even try.  How do we fix this well that is easy finding a good company in your area like bathroom remodel New Orleans or of course your own area is going to make the process so much easier.  Not only can they help you realize your bathroom dreams they can help with the installation and pricing.

Set The Mood With Moon Light

We got the Moon Light free in exchange for an honest review

When I first saw the Moon Light I knew my son was going to go nuts for it.  I did not know how beautiful it would be once it got here.  This light has a few different colors and when you light it up in a dark room it really looks like your very own little moon in your room.

This was so easy to use the base ones in 3 pieces that just click right together.  The moon it self does not have to be plugged in the whole time. You can charge this to full charge and then just set on the base.  This moon is touch activates so turn it on change colors and turn off with just a touch.  The charge can last around 6 hours if left on the whole time.

My son of course turns it of and on so we have not had to charge it for like 3 days.  Weather this is a gift for your sensory seeking child or a great mood light for Valentines day this is going to be a perfect gift.

I was truly impressed with this moon light and would suggest it to everyone

OVERCOMER out on DVD

We got the Overcomer free in exchange for an honest review

The Overcomer was a faith based uplifting movie. This movie was about a town that was thriving and lost everything when the plant closed.  So many people lost their jobs that almost all had to move from their happy town and the ones left behind were starting to lose what they still had.

 

Coach John is normally the basketball coach, when his team is gone. John now how to go in another direction.  He is not too happy about this till he gets a little spiritual advice and makes a new friend.  As he is getting coaching advice, he soon learns that his new friend is going to make a bigger impact then he could have ever believed with his new athlete Hanna.  Coaching cross country was never something he had thought of doing.

 

Sometimes when a door is closed you have to walk through another.  John and Hanna learn tat even though life does not always go the way they wanted it could bring you in an even better direction.

I truly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to everyone. It’s a story that will truly surprise you can re confirm your faith.

Start saving then call Clay Advisors

A lot of us could use a financial advisor in life.  I know when it comes to retirement or even saving a few dollars it is not easy.  If you are anything like me you live check to check there is really nothing left over to save.  I have read a lot of sights that give you a lot of advice that does not apply to me.  I am not going on vacation, buying clothes and purses and spending money on all that stuff.

Yet when I look at my finances, I do realize there are a few things I do spend money on that if I quit it does save a few penny’s here and there.

  1. Daily coffee now I know what you are thinking you need your coffee. I would like to point out if you stop buying from the local coffee shop and start making it at home you can save quite a lot. Let’s say you spend just $3 a day on one coffee for 300 days that is $900 dollars saved.
  2. Netflix if you do have subscriptions like this, they add up I pay $14.99 a month just for Netflix when I have to admit I don’t watch it that much in a year that is around $180.00 a year. My suggestion if you really love Netflix. Hulu etc.  Get the minimum package if you have roommates that also watch it split the price.  Each of you buy your portion in a gift card and add it to the account.  No monthly bill and no collecting the few dollars each month.
  3. Eating out. I know a lot of times it’s cheaper to just eat out, but they get you on the drinks even if it’s a soda.  Let’s say you go get a few tacos for $2 which may be a lot less then you can make food at home for.  If you get anything besides water you are looking at another $2 just for the drink.  Keep a collar in your car with water and soda a few $1 ice packs and they stay cold. If you do this just 50 times a year that is $100 saved on drinks.
  4. Nights at the bar.  Now I have a lot of single friends they love the nights at the bar because of the people yet they never really meet their other and they really just end up spending quite a bit of money.  They want to get out and meet people.  This is not the only way to do it.  Now hear me out on this one games like Pokémon Go.  Our town is smaller and yet still having a meet up group, yes singles these are a lot of good-looking singles and we meet up a few times a week.  Sometimes more then 40 people all talking having fun playing together and it’s free.  I have seen quite a few love connections and we have made a great group of friends.

Now I am not saying to give up everything in your life to save a few bucks I am saying save some of the stuff for special occasions.  Having a horrible day go get that coffee.  Friends birthday go out to the bar with them.  I am saying not to do it on a daily basis.

This is just a start to saving financially once you start to save a little money then look into getting a financial advisor that can help you get to the next level.
