Become an influencer?
I am an online "influencer" and wondered if anyone was interested in attending a FREE presentation where I would explain what's involved, what has worked for me and the traps that await the unprepared.
My two YouTube channels have a combined total of almost half a million subscribers and my videos have been seen a total of about 130 million times. It is now a full-time job for me and I know there are many others who would also love to have the job-title "influencer" so if there's enough interest I'll try to organise such a seminar along with an open Q&A session. I'm happy to help others and share my experiences/knowledge.
On a couple of occasions I have tried to organise such an event through the rate-payer funded Impact Hub in Tokoroa but they're just not interested in supporting such an initiative so I'd have to organise a venue but the first step is to see how many might be interested.
No, I'm not trying to sell anyone anything -- this would be done at my own cost and is simply an attempt to help those who might be considering a career as an influencer.
And, for the record, I'm 71 years old so age is not a barrier :-)
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
