The phone gives us more options, but it also deprives us of something.

For some, the phone is not only a means of communication and a store of photos, but also a working tool. We talked with three heroines who make money using a smartphone and found out if it was worth it.

1. "My main advice to those who want to try themselves as a producer on a TV channel: get to know everyone you meet"

I am looking for guests on weekday broadcasts that take place every morning. Themes change regularly: today, for example, is the day of the black cat, and tomorrow is the day of hugs. My tasks include finding two persons for each broadcast, but they must be diverse. If you invite only bald men to the studio for bald day, it will not be interesting. It is better for one person to be an athlete who can show the audience a trick, and the other is the master of the sphinx. You can get about 20,000 rubles for such activities. I combine it with the work of a TV presenter.

Social networks help me find guests, so I use my phone all the time. At first it made me happy, because before I always coordinated plot scripts through a gadget and got used to working on a smartphone. When the opportunity arose to become a guest producer, I thought it was a good idea. However, now this work gives me inconvenience. I always send messages in the morning and ask to respond within an hour, but people have their own work and personal life, so I have to adjust to them.

In addition, you have to constantly stay online. If I don't want to post anything, I have to force myself to do it so as not to disappear from the visibility of subscribers and not to lose reach. Besides, Instagram is a very unstable platform. Innovations can hit your profile hard and affect your activity. Once I got into a shadow ban for two weeks - no one saw my publications, so the statistics greatly deteriorated. All this has to be somehow put up with.

The most important tip for bloggers is to carry a power bank with you. This is especially true in the cold season, because the iPhone in the cold discharges twice as fast. Despite this, Apple phones are still my favorites. For me, this is the most convenient gadget because it has a large screen and high performance. In addition, some programs on iOS work much better, such as Spark AR, in which bloggers create masks for Instagram.

A lot of money can be made on social media. I was shocked when I found out that advertising on Instagram Stories costs 80,000 rubles for one Russian blogger. Some bloggers create guides, checklists, and courses and then sell them to subscribers. However, you need to understand that a large audience is a consequence of the fact that a person not only received, but also invested a lot of effort and money in promotion.

The main thing is to always be yourself. People instantly read insincerity, so pretending to be who you are not, you will definitely not be able to become popular.
