I know, 21 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: controversial topic, but bear with me because when I say influencer, 22 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about you know, the typical known 23 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: example of an influencer who does her hair and makeup 24 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: and films tutorials or stories and takes pictures and that's 25 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: her day. No, I'm talking about an influencer, So someone 26 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: who influences other people in a certain space, usually an 27 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: online space. So this can be you know, using your 28 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: social media to position yourself as an expert to influence 29 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: people in your field, whether you're you know, a doctor, 30 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: a physiotherapist, an artist, so so many kind of scenarios. 31 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: I think, like this, influencer used to be a bit 32 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: of a dirty word, but we need to take that 33 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: stigma away because basically just what I see of an 34 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: influencer is, yes, someone who positions themselves on the online space, 35 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: they have a community, they are an expert in some 36 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: sort of field, and yeah, they can position themselves and 37 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: use that power to you know, leverage it for work 38 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: or for money or to feel good and that sort 39 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: of scenarios. 40 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: And I truly believe. 41 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: That, like you know, everyone can be an influencer in 42 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: their own right. So this has really come to mine 43 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: because I was kind of having chats with a girl 44 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: in my DMS because when this podcast goes live. My 45 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: collaboration collection with Pedal and Pup it's called the Bloom Collection, 46 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: would have gone live the day before, so on yesterday, 47 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the Thursday, if you're listening to this on the Friday. 48 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: And she kind of DMed me and she was like, 49 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, holy shit, Georgie, this is such a big deal. Congratulations. 50 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: I would love some tips on you know, how you 51 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: got started being an influencer and what you you know, 52 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: recommend others to do. And it's funny because what I 53 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: did is not necessarily what I would recommend you do now, 54 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: but I do have some great ideas of you know, 55 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: becoming an influencer now. So I'll get into that. Firstly, 56 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: I do want to just say a big thank you 57 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: for the love and support on my Pedal and Pop collection. 58 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: So a little backstory is it's it's kind of weird 59 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: because when I got pregnant, I kind of thought, all right, 60 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Georgie is slowing down, you know, less you know, sponsorships, 61 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: less work, easing into it and then getting into this 62 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: like situation of being a mother and having my baby 63 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: put first and all those sorts of things, which is 64 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: so true. But something I didn't realize is you know, 65 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: transitioning into a new period of your life can be 66 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: so much a beautiful thing because it comes with a 67 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: whole bunch of new opportunities, new challenges, new lessons. And yeah, 68 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: so I kind of found myself thinking that it's like 69 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: i'd slow down and not no one would want to 70 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: work with me. But yeah, and then I have worked 71 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: with the Pedal and Pup for a while now, and 72 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: they're kind of they're like an online clothing boutique, And. 73 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 2: How do I explain this? 74 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: So you guys would have seen I used to do 75 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: like a lot of halls with like Princess Polly and 76 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: those sorts of boutiques, which I feel like are a 77 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: bit more younger, girl like, very kind of like trendy 78 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: in fashion, very like I don't want to say festival, 79 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, just very on trend in fashion, younger sort 80 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: of age. And then as I've kind of matured and 81 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: gotten older and obviously now pregnant, worried that sort of situation, 82 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: my style has definitely transformed. And I have noticed that 83 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: at like Pedal and Pup, which is a bit more mature, 84 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: it's a bit more seasonal, where you know, you can 85 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: buy a peace from them, and it's not going to 86 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: be out of fashion in a couple of months, and 87 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: it's something you'll you know, keep and constantly wear. 88 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 2: And they have beautiful like neutral tones. 89 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: And both hostyles, and I just found that I kind 90 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: of grew into more of that style. 91 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: Basically I'm getting older. 92 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: So I've been working with them for a while, which 93 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: has been great. And yeah, so out of the blue 94 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: they approached me and they said, you know, we know 95 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: you're pregnant. We love seeing because I was doing a 96 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: lot of bump fashion on Instagram, not that I even 97 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: had a. 98 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: Like bump back then. 99 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: It's so funny when I look at old photos when 100 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: I thought I had a bump, and now that I'm 101 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: like thirty one weeks pregnant, I'm like, oh, Georgia, that 102 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: was like a small bloat. But anyway, and yeah, so 103 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: they said, we'd actually love to bring out a collection 104 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: with you that is bump friendly. And I was a 105 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: bit blown away because and I've probably said it a 106 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: million times, I'm not a fashionistar. I do not consider 107 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: myself like very trendy or very into that side of things. 108 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Like I know the style I like, and I know 109 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: what I like to wear and how I like to feel, 110 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say that's why people you know, follow me, 111 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. 112 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,239 Speaker 2: And so I was a bit blown back. 113 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: And I was like, like, that sounds amazing because I 114 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: was finding it quite difficult to find styles that you know, 115 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: would fit a growing bump. And then that wire also 116 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: like me, and that were also I guess like in 117 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: the maternity world, a lot of the styles can just 118 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: be a bit like frumpy and not really me. So 119 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: the collection is really, you know, it's very me. It's floral, 120 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: it's vibrant, very clean and fresh. But it is definitely 121 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: and that's a big thing, guys, Like, it's not a 122 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: maternity line. It's a bump friendly line, so it's like 123 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: for a normal gal, but I've picked styles that accommodate 124 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: to the growing bump for also my pregnant gals. And obviously, 125 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm no fashion designer. So a lot 126 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: of the pieces I had kind of worn before and 127 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: liked before, and I was like, oh, I'd love something 128 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: like this, but I wanted in this. 129 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: Pattern and in this color. 130 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: And then a couple of the dresses are very unique 131 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: and just completely like what I've you know, made up 132 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: in my head. But yeah, it's super surreal because I 133 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: guess it was just like such a great reminder to 134 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: me because I was like, oh, I'm coming a mum now, 135 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: Like I'm you know, it's going to happen in business, 136 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: but it was such a beautiful reminder that you know, 137 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: as we transition, as we change, new opportunities exist, new 138 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: things blossom. And yeah, it's just been a really surreal 139 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: experience and I'm just so excited and like, we've just 140 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: had the best response from you guys with a collection, 141 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm just yeah, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, 142 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: but emotional obviously maybe the pregnancy hormones. But I just 143 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: cannot thank you enough because honestly, this community on here, 144 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: on the pod, on my Instagram, you know, my YouTube 145 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: and whatnot, you guys are the reason that I get to, 146 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, do stuff like this that completely lights me 147 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: up and that I feel so passionate about and I 148 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: just feel so grateful to have you guys.

In this collection very 153 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, embodies that transition. And also it does include 154 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of like florals and spring sort of inspiration. 155 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: So I just thought that name was very cute.

So I I've got 168 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: three tips that I want you to start thinking about 169 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: if you want to become an influencer. And like I said, 170 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: this does not mean an influencer with million followers on 171 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: Instagram or YouTube or whatnot. An influencer is really anyone 172 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: who has influence in their space. So for example, you 173 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: might be an artist, and like, becoming an influencer in 174 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: your space is going to be so helpful for people 175 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: to see your art, for people to support you, for 176 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: you to find other people who are going, you know, 177 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: through a similar thing in life, or you know, maybe 178 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: what I love seeing right now is like really unconventional influencers. 179 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: So like a big thing is like I follow a 180 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: lot of like doctors, So like I follow this one woman. 181 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: She's amazing, and she talks a lot about you know, 182 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: hormones and birthing, and obviously she is a female doctor, 183 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: but she does like fun tiktoks and she gives you 184 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: the information in quite a unique way, and she's awesome, 185 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: and she's positioned herself like she's a doctor and she's 186 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: positioned herself in the online space, and obviously she can 187 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: leverage that to get patients, you know, to do speaking opportunities, 188 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: whatever she wants. But yeah, I don't want you to 189 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: just think influencer is just you know, a girl who's 190 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: doing her hair and makeup on YouTube. 191 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: That's not what we're talking about. 192 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: And I truly believe, even like I've heard a couple 193 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: of really great stories of people who will use their 194 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: platform to create in you know, whatever they're doing, and 195 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: then get really amazing jobs because they have created this 196 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: community or you know, positioned themselves as an expert online. 197 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: And also, guys, just another thing too, is like, don't 198 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: get caught up on the numbers on the number of 199 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: followers too, because honestly, like if you think about it, 200 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: if you have one thousand followers on Instagram, imagine a 201 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: thousand people in a room, like that's a lot of people. 202 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: And I feel like people like, oh, you know, you're 203 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: not an influencer until you have like one hundred k 204 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: or whatnot, And I just I don't believe that. And 205 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: that's actually something like with Naked Harvest is we actually 206 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: predominantly focus on micro influencers. We don't do a lot 207 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: of macro influencers. 208 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: Because honestly, they don't convert. 209 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: And I'll kind of get this get to that in 210 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: the first point. But for example, if there's someone on 211 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: Instagram who has five thousand engage followers in a certain 212 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: niche so very like specific let's say it's health and 213 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: fitness for the sake of Naked Harvest example, So if 214 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: someone's got five thousand engage followers in fitness and health 215 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,359 Speaker 1: is so much more valuable to us than in influencer 216 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: who has fifty thousand followers, who you know, maybe they 217 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: do a bit of fitness and health, but they're also 218 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: doing like bikinis and fashion and makeup and you know, 219 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: sitting on the beach and traveling and all those different things. 220 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: And that's like in. 221 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: NH, like I can tell you we pay influencers who 222 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: have under ten k followers, which is like when I 223 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: I didn't with my personal account. I didn't get paid 224 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: for anything until I was probably like fifty thousand to 225 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand followers, and I was like five years in. 226 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: I didn't get paid for anything. And it was more 227 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: because like I don't know, it really just wasn't a 228 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: thing back then and I just never expected it. But honestly, 229 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: now like brands will pay for micro people who are niche, 230 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: who have. 231 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: An engage audience. 232 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: Do not get hung up on the numbers or yeah, 233 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: that whole thing that you need a lot of followers, 234 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: that is an illusion. Have a breath. She's had a 235 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: breath a lot with the pregnancy, all right. 236 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: So the first hip is you. 237 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: Need to find your niche. You need to provide value 238 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: in a specific area and get super clear on what 239 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: that is and why people follow you for that specific thing. Now, 240 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: the reason why this is so important at the start 241 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: is because social media now is quite saturated. You know, 242 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: everyone's seen the lifestyle of influencers who get paid to 243 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: do hair and makeup and you know, that sort of 244 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: thing which honestly go them, but and so everyone is 245 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: trying to do it, and so it is a bit 246 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: more saturated, and you do, I truly believe. 247 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: You need to niche. 248 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: You need to get specific, especially at the start. It's 249 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: a bit of a different story once you're established, but 250 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: at the start, you need to know when someone comes 251 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: to your Instagram, why would they press that follow button. 252 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: It needs to be clear. 253 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: And when I think about, like some of my favorite 254 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: people on Instagram right now is like I follow this 255 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: guy who. 256 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: He just does. 257 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: Like recipes, but they're very easy, six steps, minimal ingredients, 258 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: minimal waste recipes, which is my style, all under twenty minutes, 259 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: and that's all he does. That's you know, the only 260 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: thing he does. Like I said, I feel that doctor 261 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: who is about women's health and you know about birthing 262 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: and whatnot, which is very you know niche to my situation. Now, 263 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: I might follow someone else who does you know fashion, 264 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: but it's very kind of like a specific style. Now 265 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: this is important because, like I said, it is so saturated. 266 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: There's a lot happening. 267 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: And if you can take away the confusion and you 268 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: can just get them to press follow because they know 269 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: what content they're receiving for you, why they follow you? 270 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: And you only have a couple of seconds between someone 271 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: going oh will they follow? Will they not follow? R? 272 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: And C. Fam Are you currently trying to grow your hair, 273 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: get glowing skin and nails, or help your gut health? Well, 274 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: look no further because Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here 275 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: to change it all. Did you know that age twenty, 276 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: our body starts producing as much collagen itself and then 277 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: that amount decreases every single year. So this is important 278 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: to know because our skin, which is our biggest organ 279 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: is made up of seventy five percent collagen and guy's 280 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: collagen is just a protein. So it does make sense 281 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: why we start seeing signs of aging around this time. 282 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: And this is why we called our collagen the beauty 283 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: alixa because it really is a beauty supplement that is 284 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: going to help you glow from the inside out. So 285 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: even though this supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably 286 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: seen my before and after hair photos and my nail 287 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: snaps on my stories. But more than that, collagen is 288 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: such an important building block to so many parts of 289 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: our body. So not only is your skin going to glow, 290 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: your hair and nails grow, but it's also going to 291 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: help with your gut health and we all know how 292 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: important that is.

When they look at your little square like, 307 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: they should kind of know what they're getting in for 308 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: if it's confusing and you've got like one square room 309 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: when you're at the beach, and then you've maybe got 310 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: to work out, and then maybe you've got a fashion 311 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: hall and then this and that, they're like going to 312 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: be a bit confused now, just because I know this 313 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: is going to be confusing because you're probably thinking, Georgie, 314 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? You're the one who does 315 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: you know all the things? Okay, So why I'm saying 316 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: at the start is because and this is like I 317 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: feel like this is just. 318 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: A human thing. 319 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: Once you do have quite a few followers, like you're 320 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: getting up there over the hundreds, and you are doing 321 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: a lot of different things, you will generally find you 322 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: do get followers easier because of, you know, having that 323 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: situation where people look at your page they see you 324 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: have over one hundred thousand followers, and they go, oh, well, 325 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: obviously other people like this person, I'm going to follow 326 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: them too, if that makes sense. Now. I the way 327 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: I did things was a little bit different. I was 328 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: definitely very focused on fitness and health in the start, 329 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: but also I would call myself a lifestyle influencer. So, 330 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: like you know, I'm on this podcast, it's self development. 331 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: I'm talking about a new fashion collection I'm doing.

Okay, So second 360 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: one second tip I think, like a huge thing I'm 361 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: seeing right now is you know, you see these stories 362 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: of young teenagers. 363 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: Like who's that big TikTok. 364 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: Star Amelio someone someone Amelio anyway, you know, like for example, 365 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: there's these two girls on TikTok who they're very young, 366 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: and they went viral overnight and have these platforms completely 367 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, change their lives and whatnot. 368 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: That yes, that. 369 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: Can happen, but that's like so rare, so rare, and 370 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: I think you need to realize, like if you want 371 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: to do this as a job or as a legit thing, 372 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: you need to be in it for the long haul. 373 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: You need to realize that you might be providing or 374 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: you will be providing a lot of free value, spending 375 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: a lot of time doing content and not having much 376 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: reward for a while. So this very much leads into 377 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: I guess my story around it. But like I said, 378 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: like I was kind of on Instagram and providing a 379 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: lot of free value for like a good four to 380 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: five years before I could monetize or work with brands 381 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: or whatnot. I had to really like establish myself and really, 382 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, like it would be back in the day 383 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: when I was working law and so I would be studying, 384 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: I'd be working, and then on the weekend, like I'd 385 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, go out and take photos of my food 386 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: and create workouts and whatnot. 387 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: And it's not like I'm. 388 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: Getting paid by a brand or anything. Like I just 389 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: really enjoyed doing it. I really enjoyed my community, community, 390 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: my community, and so and I guess also back then, 391 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: like it wasn't usual to monetize your platform, So it's 392 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: like I didn't really. 393 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 2: Carry the way. But I think now, because. 394 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: You do see these people go viral, it like with everything, 395 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, these things happen super quick. 396 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: But I personally believe like if you do want to 397 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: create a true community, like you've got to be willing 398 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: to put in the extra work and the time and 399 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: give out a lot of free value, like I think 400 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: a huge thing. I was actually having a chat with 401 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: someone in my DMS and she was having a go 402 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: at me because she's like, all you do is like, 403 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, sponsored posts or you know, something like that, 404 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: very typical thing from a follower. Not typical thing, so 405 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: a very kind of like typical thing when you're talking 406 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 1: about an influencer. And I kind of had to explain 407 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: to her and I was like, look, when I wasn't 408 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: doing a lot of sponsored things, I was also working 409 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: full time, and you wouldn't have had half the free content, 410 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: Like there was no podcast, There was no you know 411 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: that sort of value because I did not have the 412 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: time capacity because my time was spent doing my job 413 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: where I got paid. Now I get paid from brands, 414 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: which you know, you see, but also that means that 415 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: you get a lot of free value content like this 416 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: like this podcast.
