The day-to-day problems of the micro-influencer, in GIFs

The life of the micro-influencer offers a lot of great things, but there are also some other things that aren’t so great. There are certain problems that not everyone would understand and, as the saying goes, “a GIF is worth a thousand words”.

You have two events at the same time

And you have to choose which one to go to. Just last week you had so much free time …. #FirstWorldProblems

They don’t invite you to dinner when you say you are influencer

Now seriously, if you go to a restaurant (or hotel), don’t do this. For the sake of the reputation of the influencer community.

Nobody said that being micro-influencer would be easy.
