The point about debt doesn’t surprise me.Since her Insta journey she has wracked up loads of debt trying to look the part, new car, skiing holidays etc and it's amusing to me to watch how she's trying to make out she's someone that she's not.
A woman I know from when our oldest children were in junior school together has now become a 'content creator' (yes that is on her linkedin!) and has built up about 8k followers over the past 2 years. When she had 3k followers she was calling herself an influencer on her bio. She was always a very aspirational -read deluded- person but she portrays herself and her lifestyle as very MC on the squares, but I know for a fact that she 's in a private rental on housing benefit. Since her Insta journey she has wracked up loads of debt trying to look the part, new car, skiing holidays etc and it's amusing to me to watch how she's trying to make out she's someone that she's not.
Name them.Has anyone come across this - a seemingly normal mum from the school gates turn influencer? It’s really cringey. I know a few who try and it makes uncomfortable viewing on Instagram.
We should stop saying influencers and use the real name “salesperson”I hate it as well
The bit about debt doesn't surprise me either.

I’m in a well paid job but couldn’t afford the lifestyle of a lot of the instagrammers; weekly flowers, cocktails, new shoes bags and clothes, fancy days out, candles etc etc etc
This is why I get so cross that we get slagged off for bringing ‘women down’ by not supporting them. Behind every influencer is a string of women who are influenced into debt to try and be the next influencer.
Yes - lots and lots of long paragraphs/photos of hands holding a mug/whichever ‘blooms’ are in season/Joules and Fatface clothes (not really that nice?!)Yup. I know one and her long paragraphs on her photos make me cringe myself inside out.
Hmm not Derbyshire-based by any chance?A girl I went to school with is desperately trying to become a lifestyle influencer. She was a mean girl then. I bet most of them were
