Influencers Set To Become Celebs

Being an Influencer is slowly considered as a lucrative full-time job in South Africa. While may argue, but we have seen a tremendous rise of Influencers including the likes of Beauty and Video extraordinaire Mihlali Ndamase, who has managed to make her mark in the industry. 

Mihlali has been ranked the 17th highest paid make up artist in the world. She has bagged international and local campaign deals and has had the pleasure of jet-setting around the world for work purposes. 

In recent years Influencers have totally shaken up the social media landscape. They are social media users who have established credibility in specific industries. They utilize their platforms for marketing purposes and get compensated to just to create content and post it. 

The only trick about being an Influencer is getting campaigns which often causes a headache to influencers, but recently a lot of influencers marketing apps have been created to help recruit influencers based on their niche. 

But also being an Influencer requires a lot of effort and commitment. You need to be able to affect change positively using your authority, and actively engage with your followers and support structure. 

Without no doubt Influencers are celebrities too because of their fans base and how influential they are but here is list of influencers we think might break the celebrity space in 2020.
