Here's how social media influencers ace the game

Forget movie stars being a social media star seems more enticing today. For starters, it’s more achievable than the former. It brings you fame, celebrity status, loads of money and the joy of being your own boss. Moreover, you can turn talent into business.

For instance, Huda Kattan started off as a make-up artist, with her blog called Huda Beauty, advising on cosmetics, application, etc. It proved to be such a hit with followers, she started her own incredibly successful beauty line called Huda. Today, her @hudabeauty handle on Instagram has 42 million followers!

Twenty-five-year-old Cameron Dallas started his ‘career’ playing pranks on friends and family. Today, he’s one of the most popular YouTubers and Vine account holders, with 20 million followers on Instagram, 11 million on Twitter and 8.1 million on Vine. Having even starred on Netflix shows, he makes more money than one can imagine.

Then there are other well-known social-media influencers, such as Kylie Jenner, who’s paid a whopping $1.2 million dollars per Insta post. (Even footballer Christiano Ronaldo gets only $1 million per post.)
