Influencer marketing may not be naturally intuitive for the influencer. Sometimes, it takes some intensive planning to execute the most basic scenes. If you’re an influencer or one in the making, then consider filming your vacation to build brand. Your followers on social media are more likely to share visual content 40X as much as other content, according to HubSpot.
