Creator Q&A wildshe_ shares her story & tips

Q1: How did you become a creator?

I started working with influencers at JD Sports – I was modelling and taking a lot of film photography at the time, but I didn’t have anywhere to put the images. I was already working with influencers, so I figured I could start a blog and house all my content there. Instagram then started to become huge and I gained a lot of interest from that.

Q2: What inspires your posts?

I have been solo traveling and moving to countries alone for the past 5 years, so I would say that travel and solitude inspire my content as I really dive deep and understand myself and my growth. I then share this with my audience in the hope that it helps them. 

Q3: What has been your biggest challenge as a creator?

Not to be consumed by the numbers and the game of being an influencer. There are a lot of influencers just concerned with money and the need for likes and followers; I am more interested in actually having a positive influence on someone’s life. 

Q4: And your biggest achievement?

My recent work with ethical sustainable brands, I love working with brands that align with my ethos.

Q5: What would be your advice to anyone wanting to become a creator?

Find your WHY. Discover your voice and what it is that you want to say to the world – then find a way to make them listen.

Q6: Your fave Instagram filter?

I actually create my own via lightroom – I love scratchy vintage orange tones.

Q7: Your fave Instagrammers?

kris the lion, chessie king, megan rose lane, the two bohemians.

Q8: Which camera/lighting techniques do you use?

I mostly post edit in lightroom, and I use natural lighting.

Q9: What’s your hashtag strategy?

Switch it up and use hashtags ranging from 1000-100k.

Q10: The best thing about being a creator is…

The freedom that I get from being able to travel and share my story ❤️
