Can You Make A Full-Time Income From Being An Influencer Who Only Makes Sponsored Posts?

Unless you already have an established following of thousands, hundreds of thousands at that, it is unlikely that you will make a living just by making sponsored posts. Companies that hire influencers are looking for something in return.

Outside of a social media post. They want exposure, clicks, sales.

A thousand followers will not be enough traction to make a company pay you $5,000 for one post. If you have less than 10,000 followers, you will probably be compensated with free products and not monetarily.

Sometimes you will be paid by the amount of products you sale as an affiliate, which means if you don't drive any sales, you don’t get paid.

If you would like to incorporate paid and sponsored posts with what you are doing to generate a little extra income, by all means, but be mindful of who you represent and the frequency in which you do so, as you do not want to fatigue your audience.

There will be other ways to monetize your personal brand as well such as ad revenue, creator funds, etc.
