Food for thought, everyone is trying to be a quote-unquote influencer, but lie.

Yo, this is Krista, aka Salvage Soul.

I am a mom to three crazy boys wife to one a serial entrepreneur and I am here to help

you get real with yourself so you can literally live your best life. Let's do this.

Well, hello, friends.

I'm really diving back into the podcast thing with a topic that's like pretty sticky.

This topic of social media influencer, it kind of like has affected my life. Okay, it's affected my life in a lot of ways because a lot of people put me in the category of a social media influencer. And it kind of sets them up for

comparison and this has seriously affected my business, okay? In more ways than people would even understand.

I think that a lot of people look in from the outside and they think that I have an easy road

because I had a social media following and I say had because I've spent the last nine months rebuilding what I had and what I had built over five years of really truly just business, business sharing and growth and knowledge and just sharing a lot of stuff.

That is what my social media was. I don't consider myself an influencer unless there was a

discount involved and then sometimes I'll consider myself an influencer.

But anyways, so I wanted to get on here

and I wanted to talk about this because

how it has affected my business.

A lot of people look in from the outside like I said and they're like, oh well she just

has a social media following, she's just an influencer, so you know obviously it came easy for her. Now, you guys. So I want you to like rethink what you just said, okay? And then I want you to times that by like a thousand, okay? So now a thousand people are saying the same exact thing as you.

Oh, well, she just did it because she has a social media following. She's an

influencer. All right? So then everyone wants to become an influencer because they think that that's how you get successful.

This is what I really want to talk about right now and this is what I want to like, I don't know how many people out there or how many quote unquote

influencers may get offended by this and this absolutely is not my intention at all. Maybe there's someone who has really

really been putting forth the effort to become or build a social media following to be an influencer.
