I decided to quit being a full-time influencer.

I started resenting being at home because I wanted to be like out and about.

I've been really contemplating, giving up, being a full-time influencer.

So influencers are quitting and getting 9 to 5 jobs.

Why is this when 86% of young Americans want to be influencers as their dream job

are people quitting and getting nine to fives? That's what we're going to talk about today.

I have been a full-time content creator for, I mean, over 10 years now, so I think I can speak

on the realities of it. And one thing I'm not going to do is complain about it. I think it's such a

privilege to be able to make money from YouTube or Instagram or TikTok is truly crazy, especially

when people are making good money. It's kind of mind-blowing. Let's not forget it's a huge privilege,

but for some people, it's not really the dream job. And while many people view it as a

failure to go back to having a nine to five, I don't think it should be viewed that way. And I'm going

to just kind of show some examples and talk about why people are doing this. By the way, this is

step by step, the podcast where we talk about living a better life holistically,

whether that's making more money, just kind of structure your life, how you want, new friends,

whatever. But I have noticed that you guys really like the commentary style videos. They're the

ones that actually do the best. So I'm thinking I'm going to roll with that for a while.

Although I like having guests on, I feel like those episodes don't get a lot of

views. So I'm like, should I not have guests? I don't know. You guys let me know. Comment down below

your thoughts on that. I mean, I love to yap on my own about a topic too, but I'll probably still

have guests on from time to time. Yes, let's get into this topic. So since the dawn of becoming, of influencing, since the

dawn of that being a thing, quitting your job to do it full time has been kind of the dream.
