3 steps to earn from social media | Shweta Kukreja | TEDxSVIET

Entrepreneurship & Skill Development - Finding a sweet spot between passion and earning money is crucial for entrepreneurs [1] - Identifying one skill and leveraging it is essential for success, even if it seems unconventional [3][4] - Social media platforms, especially LinkedIn, are underutilized for income generation; earning from a platform is better than using it solely for entertainment or job searching [3] - Building a portfolio, even through initially low-paying or unpaid work, is vital for attracting clients [5] - A single client can significantly impact one's career and financial prospects [2][5] Social Media & Marketing - Influencers with 5,000-10,000 followers can potentially earn around 1 million INR (approximately $12,000 USD) per month through brand sponsorships and client acquisition [2] - Targeting an international audience can lead to higher earnings compared to focusing solely on the Indian market [2] - Social media's potential for income generation is largely untapped, with most people not using it effectively for financial gain [2][6] - Creating and sharing content, even without showing one's face, is made easier with AI tools [5] Mindset & Strategy - Thinking outside the box and challenging conventional career paths is necessary for becoming an employer rather than an employee [6] - Overcoming the mindset of solely seeking job security and a fixed salary is important for entrepreneurial success [6] - Sharing one's story and skills on a chosen platform can lead to client acquisition and revenue generation [5][7]
