And doing this often means accepting your virtues and flaws, and working to improve many different aspects of your life.

It was only in November 2020 that I was approached to start my Live streaming Journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you focus on a specific niche or promote from across the board?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I normally promote products in Fashion, Beauty, Home, Fitness and Wellness. These are areas that I am passionate about as I\u2019m all about helping people become better versions of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You mentioned something about virtual influencers being a negative aspect in the industry. Please tell us more.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of late, I have seen this trend where digital characters are being used (instead of real people) to promote products. I don\u2019t think this \u2018artificial\u2019 trend will get too far. Virtual influencer actually can\u2019t try products so their feedback is only copycat (not the real and authentic feedback that we provide as creators). Still, I feel it\u2019s not fair when marketers are creating CGI characters to challenge the hard work that we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-logie wp-block-embed-logie\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"wn2Zgzz9SR\"><a href=\"https:\/\/logie.ai\/virtual-influencers\/\">Will virtual influencers replace human creators?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Will virtual influencers replace human creators?&#8221; &#8212; Logie\" src=\"https:\/\/logie.ai\/virtual-influencers\/embed\/#?secret=fTzc8PkagX#?secret=wn2Zgzz9SR\" data-secret=\"wn2Zgzz9SR\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What other challenges have you faced?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of my journey the learning curve was one of the key challenges \u2013 just getting around and learning to do things right. Now the key issue I see as a threat is virtual influencers. I have also had a problem with low commissions and sellers that pay very low fees for content creation. Luckily, I\u2019m happy that Logie is here to help us overcome both of these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What strategies\/techniques are you using to help grow your business right now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I cross promote in all my social media accounts, create content, and engage with my audience to build up a real community. With is a strategy that works, especially when nurtured with consistency and discipline. Focus on providing value to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What would you say are your greatest strengths?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/logie.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/E13A88B0-B14E-4983-9C0E-D286E004D261-ilkatamarnotjustamodel-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1844\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Confidence in camera. I have been doing this since I was 16 years. I study and try the products beforehand so I can give authentic feedback to my audience and connect with my followers in a warm and effective way. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, I know how to look great on camera and use this to my advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any tips for beginners or other influencers who are just coming up?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest tips I can give (and that I normally teach) is confidence. Being confident has a lot to do with accepting yourself with virtues and flaws. The more real and authentic you are \u2013 the better. Don\u2019t ever strive to copy anyone &#8211; just be YOU and focus on delivering value in your selected niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Got some thoughts or questions?
