Polina Pushkareva Instagram – You may think that for me it is super easy to become an influencer and to grow my socials, but let’s see how I started

Now it’s very convenient to believe that from the very beginning everything was easy for me and everything just worked out. Fucking not. I also didn’t know what to do, like many others I was afraid of being judged, I also didn’t immediately find “myself” in the blog.
But I didn’t stop trying, made mistakes, tried again and got the result. That is what distinguishes me from people who try to do it once, don’t get a million of followers in a week and give up on social networks.
If you have an iPhone, your own room and money for clothes, you are already 1000 times more privileged than I was when I started managing my Instagram
– I didn’t have an iPhone to make quality content. I had to shoot it with an old iPad or borrow phones from friends
– I didn’t have an instagrammable apartment. That’s why I looked for locations to take photos around the city.
– I had no money. I didn’t go to cafes, bought clothes in second-hand shops and dreamed of Kylie lipstick.
Was I feeling embarrassed? Yes
Did this stop me from blogging? No
I knew I was growing my social to change a life that I was so fed up with. That was my key motivation and it turned out to be effective. Because all you need to understand is: no one will change your life and there will never be a right moment.
If right now you are done with everything in your life, this is that very sign and that ideal moment that it’s time to get off your ass and do something. Or you will just continue to watch others make your dreams come true. | Posted on 08/Nov/2023 17:57:37
