0:00.0	Now, they're all individuals running this account and all of the content they post is original
0:04.6	content. And don't get me wrong, it's absolutely beautiful and I love following them. But I'll be
0:10.9	honest with you, I sometimes couldn't tell their content apart if they're going to the same destination.
0:18.4	And if I didn't look at the handle, I wouldn't be able to recognize who
0:21.7	it is. And also, I don't really remember their names. Welcome to the full-time influencer
0:29.8	podcast. I'm your host, Tina Lee, and I'll be sharing industry knowledge and social media
0:34.1	tips through weekly interviews with established creators and Q&A sessions.
0:38.4	Our goal is to help you decode social media, become a full-time influencer, and do what you love for a living.

1:41.4	and the recipes and so on. If,'s say you're an artist, you could
1:45.7	potentially do clips that are just showing the back of your head where you're drawing on a
