Summary

As both a true crime junkie and an influencer in the public eye, personal safety is something I think about every day. Influencer’s lives include many aspects of physical safety that you wouldn't have to worry about if you didn’t have a following, including public solo shoots, meeting up with photographers, and posting your daily life, but online safety can’t be forgotten either: account security, social media scams, and the legal security of your content. Today we’re doing a deep dive into everything you should be aware of to stay safe as a content creator.
