So Charlotte funny story. My husband and I (both in our 70's) were in Sam's Club last week. As we were walking out you have to stop and an attendant looks at your groceries and matches it with your receipt. She says, "Wow, you guys created a huge line behind you!" I quickly said, "Oh you didn't know. We're Influencers and these are our followers." She started laughing and I did a runway walk out the store. My poor husband didn't have a clue what I just said which was even funnier. 🤣🤣

"Influencers" should realize this: When you are influential enough the businesses will come looking for you. When you go asking for free stuff that's not being an influencer, that's being a beggar. The worst kind of beggar too. The scammer beggar that really doesn't have a need, but just doesn't want to work.

It seems to me that these influencers that ask for free stuff sabotage themselves. Who is going to want to work with someone that started out begging instead of working hard to get where they want to be. If they start off expecting handouts who is going to think that they'll later put in the work to get where they want to be. If you start out being lazy and thinking everyone owes you then that's how you'll always be seen. Put in the work and stop begging it doesn't look good on anyone

The one about the "influencer" wanting a free portrait hit home, tied in with the calligraphy. I used to do, (and sometimes will still do for friends), hand drawn event cards, this is with pen and ink, not ball point pens, but an actual quill and dip ink, and colorize them, I also do calligraphy, 5 different fonts. 5 years ago, I submitted a card for use as invitations to the Witches Ball (Halloween party for Pagans), it did not make the invitation list, but they wanted to use it to make posters, (with a few added changes to the wording). In order for this to happen, I had to purchase larger art paper, and some inks, because it was going to take a lot of colorization. In total, I spent over $250 in inks, $125 in different quill nibs, $100 in art paper, (they wanted at least three versions to choose from), plus for my time and effort, and three different versions $650 per drawing., under$2500. Since it was July, there would be a limited time for them to accept, since I had order for 20 Personalized Halloween cards. For the one they accepted, would be $650, the other 2 would be 1/4 of that. (nothing in life is free). They accepted, and we drew up the paperwork, was paid half and half on delivery. I completed them first week September, as promised, the woman who signed the checks was not in, but would get it in the mail by Friday. week 1..0 check week 2...0 check, she would not return my calls. I t wasn't until just before Thanksgiving, I found out, they used all three artwork to make posters and sell them for $150 each, and were still selling them in November. I finally took them to small claims court. They had someone remove my signature from the original, and tried to say this was not my work, but someone else's. I brought in pictures, and a video of me doing them, as well as a copy of the first payment and the agreement. 6 months later I won and was awarded $1300 for the other two, +3/4 of the profit for each poster sold, and an additional $25,000 for compensation of the alteration of my works, and potential loss of future sales. Karma worked it's magic!

I do different styles of calligraphy, and it's NOT just writing. I started learning calligraphy when I was in high school and all through college. I was very good at it and always received A’s. In the past, I have done regular calligraphy wedding invitation envelopes for my sister and a few close friends for free. When I did my own, I addressed all my invitations in very intricate lettering, which took quite a bit of time. A few months after my wedding, I was contacted by a girl who was someone's “plus one” at our wedding, and she informed me she was getting married. She asked me in a lovely tone if I would address her invitation and return envelopes in the same lettering I had done on my own. I told her I could, but I would have to charge her since the lettering is very tedious and time-consuming. When I informed her of this, her tone changed into one of anger and profanity. She screamed at me and cussed me out because she knew I had done other invitations for free, but I told her the reason why they were free was due to the type of lettering I had done and also because the people were family and close friends. This made her even angrier, so I had to endure more profanity from her until she told me she would learn to do it herself, and her invitations would look way better than anything I did, then she hung up on me. A few months went by, and one of my husband's friends showed me the invite he received to her wedding, and it literally looked like a six-year-old had written them. The writing she tried was typical simple calligraphy, but hers looked like regular letters with added slashes. I never laughed so hard because I'm sure for the money she paid for classes, I could have done her invitations.

Story time for any media production graduates: Fresh out of college, I got my first "gig" editing 3 music videos for a local band. At first I wanted to charge but they managed to talk me into doing it for free (they're small, local, don't have the money, blah blah), and they said they would provide the footage. What they provided me was footage from ONE live show shot from two different cameras and some professional photos. I contacted the photographer to remove the watermarks on the photos, as I was making a music video and she said no (so frustrating). Anyway, I made a kickass lyric video using a 3D effect on the photos (which kinda lost it's effect with the stupid watermarks) with snippets of the live show thrown in to keep it entertaining. That took me about 30 hours to make, probably more. They loved it and asked for the other 2 as per our agreement. After the frustration of editing the first one, I now demanded payment. Even $8/hr would suffice. I also needed more footage/photos/anything. They had nothing else for me to work with and told me, "even just text on a bank screen would work." I promptly told them, "then why don't you do it yourself?" and never spoke to them again. Always know your worth, even if you're fresh out of college, that's still your time and talent going into something.

Just had a similar discussion with a coworker about a month or two ago. She's been into making prints for shirts as a side hustle. Her boyfriend's mom asked for her to make some for some of her family in California. She emailed them, got their approval on a similar design because what they originally wanted she couldn't find a good template for our something. Either way, they agreed to the design and the price so she made these shirts and sent them along with her boyfriend's mom when she went to California. She finds out that the family members don't like the shirts and are refusing to pay, but they didn't return them either and allegedly threw them away. I don't think she has the money to sue them, but I told her she should've. Because she had the proof that they agreed to the design and they agreed to pay, so either they had to pay her or return the shirts, they can't keep the shirts, even to throw away and not expect to pay. She put time, effort and money into making them and should be compensated.

Beauty KZitemrs are an example of those that really straddle the line between content creator and influencer. They are truly both.

They're Instagramers, they're a product themselves in that they are a form of advertising. Obviously the word has shifted to include these people, but they don't warrant it in my opinion unless they specialize in reviews. 🤷♀️

You have to have a really steady hand, have to hold the pen a certain way for each stroke, have different sized nubs (the point of the pen where the ink comes out), etc. I'm a perfectionist, too, so I'll be redoing countless pieces Side note: I frickin LOVE that there was The Amazing World of Gumball clip ❤❤❤

I learned the very basics of calligraphy back in art class, and it really was a lot of work getting something that looked even halfway good. Anyone claiming "it's just writing" should just go ahead and "just write" it. Hopefully they will realise their mistake by the time they got the calligraphy paper, pens/brushes, watched youtube tutorials, and practiced holding the pen to make the most basic font and repeating the basic letters for hours… Just a slight wobble at the wrong time and you have to redo the whole layout…

What they actually want is for me to buy their products, take promo photos of them and post them to my account so they get free advertising. Sometimes they'll offer me a small discount on my next purchase. I've never accepted.

I post her pics for my family to keep track of her and because I take sooooo many, it seemed a shame for no one to see her best shots. Why should someone else have any right to use her on their page? Now, if they sent me an item for her to model, that would be fine, but I’m not buying something she will only wear once.

My husband is a blacksmith, we both do cosplay and I do other stuff like stained glass and ppl are HORRIBLE about what they think they are entitled to. Most ppl balk at a custom made knife for 200$ up or a custom hand foraged sword at 500$ because they have absolutely no idea the sheer amount of work a blade that will outlive yourself, completely hand forged and customized costs. The price of materials alone have gone up 500% in the past 10 months. Samething with cosplay costumes and stained glass. Scarily large amounts of ppl think influence on social media equals instant money in bank account or increase in PAYING customers. 9 times out of 10 there is a very good reason a handmade product costs the amount it does. If you think it's so damn easy do it yourself and let me see the results.

I think most people balk at the price, not so much because they don't know about the amount of work, but because most people don't have a lot of extra cash to blow and most people just really don't need stained glass and extreme quality handmade blades and the like. People with the spending money will buy what they want. The rest have to buy what they need and the extra spending money is rationed. Someone has to really be into stained glass to spend big bucks on stained glass if they aren't just rich and money is no object. So people see it, and they know it looks good and they want it, but they balk at the price becasue they can't afford the luxury, not because they don't think it's worth it. I'm sure there are some, of course, that think that, but even most of the loud mouths talking about how it's overpriced are just butt holes that wouldn't buy your stuff even if they had the money, which they don't.

I dunno. I used to stop once a month at this little gas station store in a small town. Usually I would buy $50-$80 worth of gas, a big soda maybe a bag of chips or a chicken box, other stuff. I usually paid cash. One day I only wanted a big soda and nothing else and I forgot my pocket cash so I went to pay for it with my credit card. Now the soda was overpriced there. Every other small town has a CircleK where the soda's are $0.99. At this store they are $2.49. I didn't care though as it was a nice little town and convenient to stop in during my travels. I could easily go on to the next small town but like I said I liked the little store, in spite of the overpriced sodas. So I didn't have any cash, and I owed the $2.49 + tax. I hand the girl, who I've seen there for years now every month, my credit card. She says, "It's a $5 minimum for credit card." Turned out I actually had almost $2 in change in my truck, but she wouldn't take it for the soda, wouldn't charge my card unless I bought things I didn't want. She offered no recourse. So I effing left the big gulp on the counter and just told her, well you get nothing then, now or ever again. I don't think she cared a bit. Now I usually get gas, a drink and chips 'n stuff the next town over and it's cheaper.

You know how "influence" a hotel? When you check in make sure you're already a points member, be extremely nice, and make sure you slip in a 100$ bill with your ID at check in then smile and ask "are there any upgraded rooms" tip again if the answer is yes. Make sure you tip everyone(even staff you don't have to)and don't act like you're doing them a favor. Just be polite and insist they take the tip because they're working very hard and don't ask for anything in return. This always, always works for me(I'm currently in a hotel on my memeber points). This ensures if you do travel alot and you frequent the same hotels or chain of hotels you're on record as a good guest which means you don't act like an influencer, treat the staff like they are people not servants, and known for tipping well. People will want to give you various little perks because they know you're not some abusive Karen or influencer.

My best friend wants to eventually start their own florist business, they create beautiful displays, and at the moment works in our local grocery store. When I have my wedding (whenever we're able to, hopefully once covid dies down more), I absolutely plan on having them create my bouquet. Not only am I going to pay them, and tip them, but because I know how important this is to them, I'm also going to share the pictures wherever I can.

Sure they do. If they are really big influencers and someone fresh out of college with little experience is searching for a job, they will find someone without big trouble. $ 25-30/h is a lot for someone young. Yes, there is a lot to do, but most companies expect that from beginners and not all pay that well. See Buzzfeed for instance....they got a lot of freshly out of college young adults who they exploited as much as they could before they woke up (and most needed over a decade to do it).

@@virginiaviola5097 Well actually thats not how Egyptian or other anatolian hieroglyphic languages work. They are systems of signs that have mostly syllabic, sometimes words meanings defined so very exact that they undergo vowel shifts. They are fully developed language systems that have syntax, flection and grammar. It doesn't really work for emojis tho, that are rather mere symbolic signs of association.

I agree she's technically an influencer too, and I consider her videos to be more "Reactions videos" rather than an content creator. One of her videos about "hair dye fails"... was all the same pictures in a Bored Panda or some other Hair Dye Fails list that I had just gotten in my Google news feed within the previous day. I'm guessing that she found the exact same link and just used the same pictures for her video. I don't remember if she mentioned or credited the website for the pictures. But are there ANY original ideas left on the internet anymore? Most content is someone's version of someone else's list of something, or attempt at something. TikTok is that x10,000. If anyone is advertising a sponsored product... they are an influencer. You are getting money, products, discounts, or free services to tell people to download, try, or buy a certain product. Influencer. Edit: Yup, Bored Panda, 4 months ago, "35 Hair-Dye Fails That Make You Feel Glad You’re Not The ‘Victim’ In The Pictures". I had just viewed all of these pictures, and then her video came out with the same pictures. Now we get compilations that are ripped off from TikTok. It's all about recycled content nowadays. I remember back when people used to share fail lists to Facebook for free with only 300 friends (followers). 😂 Little did we know we could be getting paid for that on KZitem! lol

An influencer needs to have a following in the hundreds of thousands, minimum, for businesses to take any notice of them. Even then they rarely give free stuff to people who ask, the business has to ask the influencer and I believe this is a legal thing or something similar. Notice how practically ALL these entitled influencers usually have a few thousand followers tops and this means they are just entitled choosing beggars.

I couldn’t figure it out I only have literally one picture posted and I post on my stories maybe once a month. One day I got like 50 messages asking why I hadn’t followed people back? Apparently my username had been accidentally put in some thing where everyone agreed to follow each other so everyone would get more followers. Umm I didn’t even know this was a thing? Now I’m getting threats sent to me for not following back so I seriously block somebody every time I get on, which is maybe weekly but still. I’m ready to just delete the whole freaking app.
