Hello all,

I am starting a new category in my Blog section about my journey in the Social Media landscape, where I start from absolute Zero and plan to become an Influencer with over 1 million followers. Being an ordinary person, I don’t have any super talents, I am not a celebrity, nor a famous or renown person in any way or sense. I don’t experience extremes in life – everything seems to be just a boring, plain-vanilla, ordinary way of life that I would like to share with you.

But I bet that most of the people (probably 99%) are also falling in the same category: plain, ordinary people that are looking for some inspiration in life to become something greater than they are (or that they think they are).

My theory is that you don’t need to be someone famous or very talented to become an Influencer. If you are an ordinary person like me and if you make it to become an influencer, then think about the inspiration that you would give to all those 99% who want to become one, but do not have super powers!

It’s easy for someone famous like Jennifer Lopez, Christiano Ronaldo, Elon Musk or the President of the United States to become a Social Media Influencer, but how attainable is that to the 99.999% of population to be like those stars? Probably not very attainable just to say in the least. Therefore, people should be just fine being inspired by someone who is very ordinary.

And this is my challenge – to become an influencer without having any of the celebrity, renown, super talents, extraordinary achievements, extreme experiences, tons of money and being late to the game! To do that is possible by being smart and going against the trend, finding cracks in the system and being anti-cyclical as I like to say it. Basically, to achieve that by doing the opposite of what most people would want to do. To set a new trend, which hasn’t been tried yet, but without going to extremes, using violence, politics, high emotions, vanity, etc… Something which people will appreciate, but usually have no time for: still-life, calmness, kindness, beauty – the values that bring one auspiciousness and make one happy in the long run.

What would be my topic of social media tweets, posts, videos and what is the value to others? I will mostly post things that I encounter in my day-to-day life, in my surroundings or things that matter to me. I will refrain from posting political, violent or sexual content. I will try to post events or occasions that impress me, beautiful nature, architecture, sports, movies, cuisine etc… from an angle trying to show beauty and kindness in little things that most people don’t notice or don’t have time to notice. By taking this approach I hope that it will bring small bits of happiness to others and make them lead a more fulfilling life.

My goal that I set for myself would be to start from absolute zero to get to 1 million followers in 1 year’s time without doing something crazy or extreme. To achieve that by just doing ordinary blogging, X-ing (Twitter), Facebook-ing, other Social Media, etc… and to learn by doing – testing out new strategies, approaches and studying what’s already out there, but all without forgetting my values.

My plan is to have a chronological recording of my experiences where I write down my journey: what worked and what didn’t and how I am feeling throughout the journey in the social media world. I will spend time recording my progress on a weekly basis and sharing with all my thoughts. The other goal is to give you tips and learnings from my experiences to make you also a successful influencer without having any super talents. If I can make it, then definitely you will make it as well!

Let’s go!
