EFR 598: Navigating Growth as a Social Media Influencer, Creating Authentic Content, and Finding Confidence Through Vulnerability with Sam Gwaz


Listen Later

So, you've gained a following on social media… now what? The answer isn't always clear and direct. What we have come to realize is that Instagram and TikTok are no longer (or perhaps, never were) places where you had to appear perfect to gain a following or appeal to a large audience.

It's easier than ever to create content and connect to people through social media, but not many people aren't talking about how to handle the immense growth and exposure that comes with being an influencer.

Sam Gwaz is a health coach and fitness influencer who, since growing her Instagram platform by 200,000+ new followers in the last 3 years, has had to grow along with her social media presence in many ways.

In this discussion, Sam and Chase talk about her growth and evolution as a health and fitness content creator on social media. They speak on the power of vulnerability in building confidence, Sam's current struggle as a content creator, and how to reevaluate your social media presence to ensure you're creating authentic content that's aligned with your audience. Then, Sam shares her hopes for the future of social media along with a few pieces of advice for aspiring content creators.
