Being an influencer is a dream for many people. They envision freedom from a 9-to-5 job, traveling whenever you want, making gobs of money, getting free stuff, and working part-time towards a full-time income.

The truth is, it can be all those things and more but at a price.

Here are 7 reasons I almost quit being an influencer…

Why Influencers are Quitting Every Month

If you’re getting all this, why quit?

The reasons can vary for everyone. These are 7 reasons I almost quit influencer life.

1. Working more than a 9-to-5 job

While making a full-time income on part-time hours is very possible, few influencers are doing that. And, it’s tough to notice when you’re not tracking your hours.

The truth is, you really have influencing and content creation on the brain 24/7.

So, some things I find myself doing are:

  • Prepping and making Tik Tok videos while laying in bed at the end of the night
  • Reading work emails while I’m waiting for the movie previews to start on a movie theater date I’m on with my husband
