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 :-)
