I’m (M30) a rather successful social media influencer. But hear me out, it’s not what you think it is.
My wife (F29) is someone who likes to talk about and shares whatever she sees on social media. She’ll be doomscrolling TikTok the entire day, frequently sending me videos of influencers showing off their branded goods, having fun at holiday locations, etc and asking me when I will bring her there. Bitch please, I just left my cushy corporate job to start my own business, ain’t nobody got time for that shit.
She was getting really annoying so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I decided to start influencing her social media feed. I used her laptop and to google for sports, crypto news, AI news, etc, stuff that I know she won’t be interested in, searched for similar stuff on TikTok and started liking and following content creators she won’t be interested in.
At first I thought it didn’t work, but after a week I realized she wasn’t using TikTok that much and I asked her why. She complained that her feed was really boring and nothing she saw interested her. It was WORKING!
I decided to take things a step further by making her see stuff she’s moderately interested in, yet is useful so that they’ll slowly influence her lifestyle. She has gained a bit of weight since our wedding but she’s too lazy to start exercising, so I started using her account to follow some fitness and health influencers.
Guess what, a week later she dragged me to sign up for a gym membership together and booked some yoga classes. I’m pretty fit myself so I don’t really need that but I’m happy to see that she’s doing something about her health. It has been a few months and she looks much healthier. I’m super happy with the results of my “social media influencing”.
Guys, social media is such a powerful tool. Do try out “social media influencing” on your family/partners/kids and you might be surprised by the results.
