How To Make Your Brand Stand Out as an Influencer in 2023

Influencers came as a surprise to many, especially to influencers themselves! Back in the golden age of YouTube, regular folk went on to connect with strangers by creating relevant content and sharing their unfiltered thoughts. This sparked the emergence of influencers. It became blatantly clear that viewers liked to see authenticity on the internet. Initially, YouTube was a space for companies to share videos, for celebrities to share their work, and for artists to share their creations.

YouTube was already a space for the masses to share anything they wished. But, the change truly came when regular individuals opened up to the world. They shared their face, their lives, their home, and much more to their viewers. They spoke honestly and were not afraid to be themselves. This was a huge shift in society where the norm was to follow the crowd and do as one was told. Influencers changed that by marching to the beat of their own drum. Unintentionally, they became the voices of the online social community and they did it proudly and unapologetically.

Since then, influencers have built a fine career for themselves. The original influencers from YouTube were the first to blaze the trail. Corporations scrambled to sign contracts with them, so much so, that many influencers ended up selling out to brands. They were no longer seen as authentic figures for their communities. This is why influencers now face intense pressure to stay authentic. In turn, it forced brands to be honest and true about their values. Prominent influencers with a dedicated community following will only work with brands that remain true to a good cause.

Presently, influencers can be found on a variety of social media platforms. In fact, there is a lot of competition for them. However, if they go on to build an authentic, honest, and genuine voice, they build a strong following. That paired with relatable content is enough to keep audiences interested. As long as influencers keep true to their core values, they will never lose their audience. This is why micro-influencers have become more popular, with a smaller niche audience by their side, it is easier for them to stay genuine to their core selves.

Let's explore a few important points for influencers to remain relevant in 2023.

Authenticity and Relevance

Above all, it is imperative for influencers to be authentic and genuine to your core beliefs and the values your brand stands for. For instance, you must practice what you preach. If you support animal cruelty, then work with brands that match your beliefs.

Influencers must always remember that you are very much part of the community you speak for. Therefore, it is important to create content and provide products and services that will help your followers. Always strive to connect with them on a relatable level.

Leverage Trending Media

Creators and influencers are constantly under pressure to produce fresh and new content. Under this pressure, many tend to forget what viewers and followers like to see is genuine relatable content that sparks interest or makes one smile and laugh.

New technologies lead to many options to keep your viewers engaged. This gives you the opportunity to figure out innovative ways to keep your audience engaged, especially as their attention span seems to be waning over the years. Make sure to always listen to your audience so you can continue to deliver what it is they're looking for.

For corporates to work with influencers, it is important for them to see steady numbers that can be proven. They want to see that you have a strong following of genuine users.
