Welcome to Influencer Insights.

I'm your host Julie Solomon, a marketing strategist,

in New York Times best-selling publicist.

In this 10 minute training series,

I answer your most-ask questions and sought after advice about

blogging, online branding, and influencer growth with step-by-step strategies you can take action

Hi, hi, how are you? you can take action on right away.

Hi, hi, how are you?

Good, how are you?

I am good.

I'm taking a sip of water,

because I haven't been drinking enough water lately. So yeah, please introduce yourself and just share what your question is.

Sure. So my name is Bran. I currently run a little food Instagram, which is the one that I contacted you through.

Really cute, by the way. Thank you. This past year I started writing also, so I do like some food reviews and food writing for a local publication.

They actually found me through the Instagram, so it started to grow and now I'm getting paid for it.

And it's been some other restaurants that have asked me for consulting or if they're

opening a new restaurant they find my account and they want to help just with publicity

for events and stuff. So I feel like it's moving. But at the same time, like I work in corporate America and that's my full time gig. But I really want to find a way to make this whole food gig, which is my passion, my full-time job.

So I'm just trying to figure out kind of how to make that push

and get to the next level.
