In her words, “I made my first money from Brand Influencing on Instagram by December 2018, barely 5 months after I started my journey as a brand influencer. I remember clearly, I was paid N15,000 (Fifteen thousand naira) to make a promotion video for a brand.”

For Amarachi, her talents were inborn and played a major role in her demeanor on social media, she recalled her past and how it helped her build her courage to become a Brand influencer.
“Growing up, my talents were acting and talking,  I was so into acting that I always had the major roles in most dramas from my primary school days to secondary school.
“Sometimes I narrate a story during a school play before the cast begins their drama or I would be a part of the people acting, whichever, I just loved being dramatic.

“You can’t be a successful brand-influencer if you are not dramatic, if you stay indoors a lot, brand influencing is not for you”.
