“I wholeheartedly believe that influencing will put you so out of touch.”

Lmk your thoughts on influencers.

Could be doing this [content creation] full-time and like making more money."

One of them being, I just got bored.

Every single day, I would do the same thing."

“Of course, you’re working on different projects some days.

It does not take me all day… ## “Completely relate to this.

Not many ppl would challenge themselves this way.”

Just [like] how you want to leave your job when you’re not stimulated mentally.”

It was eight weeks long.

My situation may look a little different than someone now in a full-time position.

But speaking from my experience, getting to go back short term was my perfect situation.

TikTok comment reading: "Completely relate to this. I haven't let go of working for a multitude of reasons but sometimes influencing feels so meaningless tbh."

And when the contract ended, I felt a new spark and motivation for my social media again."

Personally, I feel it provides a good balance of routine, income/stability, social activity, etc."

I think for some, this sounds like a dream.

TikTok comment reads:  "This is my exact thought process. I'm a full-time student, work and record my life on the side. I feel like doing this full-time wouldn't fill my cup."

Of course, who wouldnt want such a flexible schedule?

Focusing on more experiences and real life than products.

But I also think product promotion will always be around. "

TikTok comment reads: "That's exactly how I felt and that's why I decided to go back to school and get an interior design degree already having a bachelor's in biz so I could work in something creative that'd fulfill me."

But balancing a full-time job and influencing is definitely achievable.

Go for it!"
